10 Richest U.S. Billionaires Have Expanded Wealth by $700 Billion Since Trump's Return
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 10 richest Americans have seen their wealth collectively grow by
$700 billion since President Trump's return to office. That's according
to a report by Oxfam America, which details that in 2025 the share of
total U.S. assets held by the richest 0.1% of Americans reached its
highest level on record at 12.6%. Abby Maxman, president and CEO of
Oxfam America, said, "Now, the Trump administration and Republicans in
Congress risk turbocharging that inequality as they wage a relentless
attack on working people and bargain with livelihoods during the
government shutdown."
