When did Forbes report on how much Biden was worth? How he got his money? How many residences he has? Same data on Nancy Pelosi? Any of them?

Gee Forbes, how much is Biden worth?
AOC? Ilhan Omar? Pelosi?
Zackly.
Never?
They are not billionaires.
Forbes has been estimating Trump net worth long before he became president.
It’s none of my business.
FR is close! or not.
FOR ALL: need 11,000.00 in 2 days. Do it for Jim. Or shut down FR for 2 days per week to cover the need.
Two Factoids
1) President Trump is priceless. He is a once-in-many-generations phenomenon. He loves America, which The Left cannot stand.
2) He made his money the old fashioned way. He EARNED it.
-Those earnings allows him to tell the Deep State, the Drive-By Media, and any other arsehole, to pound sand.
— As El Rush-Bo often pointed out - they didn’t make him, so they cannot break him.
“ Never?
They are not billionaires.
Forbes has been estimating Trump net worth long before he became president.“
They’re reporting on him because he’s a billionaire? Or because he is president?
Do they mention he doesn’t take a salary as president? They’d be reporting on his investments only. That’s his only income.
So, the question is this:
When did Forbes report on how much Biden was worth? How he got his money? How many residences he has? Same data on Nancy Pelosi? Any of them?
“ Never?
They are not billionaires.”
How would we know? Forbes doesn’t tell us. They ought to. Pelosi made better trades than the best trader company on Wall Street. She walked away from a $175 k per year job with a reported $100 million
I find that more interesting than any thing they can tell me about Trump’s honest earnings, savings, investments.
And what’s the point about billionaires? Is Forbes subtitled ‘billionaires only’
The Forbes World’s Billionaires list (the global one) first started in 1987.
It was first published in March 1987, identifying 140 billionaires worldwide with a combined net worth of about $295 billion. Japanese real estate tycoon Yoshiaki Tsutsumi topped that inaugural list.
People are more interested in billionaires than someone worth a hundred million.
Obviously.
Forbes is a capitalist magazine concentrating on free enterprise and making money.
If you are communist don’t read it.
Or go create your own communist magazine.
“People are more interested in billionaires than someone worth a hundred million.
Obviously.”
Obviously
I’m not sure Pelosi isn’t a billionaire
But… they put Trump in here because he’s the president. Obviously
“ Forbes is a capitalist magazine concentrating on free enterprise and making money”
And Trump is now the president not taking a salary.
If I’m a communist? No ad homenim
My people are upper middle class suburban. Financiers going back generations
I have always defended trumps success financial and otherwise on this forum. My record here speaks for itself
Donald Trump first appeared on Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list in 1989 (estimated at around $1.5 billion) and has been included intermittently for roughly 37 years as of 2026, with notable gaps.
He was on Forbes billionaires list long long before he became President.
Whatever
“Forbes is a capitalist magazine concentrating on free enterprise and making money.”
In 2014 Integrated Whale Media, an investment company based in Hong Kong, purchased a majority share of Forbes. The influence of the Chinese government if any, on editorial decisions at Forbes today, is unknown.
As of the latest 2026 data, China has around 539 billionaires according to Forbes (a record high for their list, up from 495 in 2024 and about 450 in 2025).
The capitalist ethos and making money still holds.
