International: After Donald Trump's landslide win in Tuesday's US elections, shares in Trump Media & Technology Group surged, adding nearly $300 million to the President-elect's fortune. Trump Media shares rose almost 8 percent by midday, reaching just under $37, following a premarket surge that briefly sent shares above $40, Forbes reported.

This bump has pushed the value of Trump's approximately 57 percent stake – around 114.75 million shares – in the media company up by $290 million, now totalling $4.1 billion. The uptick in trading comes on the heels of a volatile Tuesday session when shares initially soared by over 18 percent to $40.74 before slipping back and eventually closing down by 1 percent.

Despite this market boost, Trump Media reported a $19.2 million loss for its third quarter, with revenues falling 5.6 percent year-over-year. Nonetheless, October was a banner month for the company, with shares jumping 119 percent, peaking at $54.68 – the highest since June.

Donald Trump's net worth is estimated at $6.3 billion, according to recent evaluations by Forbes. His fortune, tied heavily to Trump Media's fluctuating stock value, briefly surpassed $8 billion earlier this year amid high trading volatility. The company, which went public through a reverse merger, has seen its stock rise and fall in response to Trump's campaign activities, including significant shifts after debates with US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
