Donald Trump was voted out of office as president after only one term.
Now he's also flown off the “Forbes” list of the 400 richest Americans.
Washington - The name Donald Trump * has been on the "Forbes" list of the richest Americans every year since 1996.
But this time he didn't make it into the top 400.
The ex-president is still a long way from bankruptcy - according to the business magazine Forbes, Trump's fortune is still estimated at around 2.5 billion dollars.
However, he was about $ 400 million short of a place on this year's list.
The reason for the flight from the list could be the corona pandemic and the resulting stagnating property values.
According to the "Forbes" list, Donald Trump is no longer one of the 400 richest Americans
Last year, Donald Trump just barely made it onto the list in 339th place.
While he ended up at number 368 when he was first appointed, his name gradually climbed into the top half of the list.
But from 2016 - the year of his election campaign - the descent followed: The name Donald Trump kept sliding down until it disappeared completely from the list.
And not even a year later, after he was voted out of office as President of the United States *.
During his presidency, Donald Trump repeatedly complained about high costs
Trump was probably the wealthiest in 2015, two years before he was elected president.
At that time, "Forbes" estimated the assets of Trump * at $ 4.5 billion.
The following year it was $ 3.7 billion.
From 2017 to 2019, the then incumbent head of state's assets fell to $ 3.1 billion.
During his tenure, Trump said time and again that the presidency would cost him billions of dollars.
Critics accused him of making a profit from his presidency.
For example, he is said to have held events in his property that, according to media reports, he subsequently billed the government or his Republican party.
