Donald Trump's net worth spikes $1B after assassination attempt

Trump’s net worth jumped 20.5% to $6.5 billion Tuesday, according to Forbes.

Shares of his company Trump Media & Technology Group Corp rose 31% to $40.6. Trump owns a 65% stake in the firm.

Trump, who is among the world’s 500 wealthiest people, appeared in public Tuesday for the first time after being shot at a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday.

The shooting resulted in a death of one attendee and the injury of two others. Trump was injured in his right ear but was quickly discharged from a hospital.

The attack underscored the nation's deeply fractured political landscape ahead of the Nov. 5 election between Trump and Democratic President Joe Biden, Reuters reported.

Biden, who has portrayed Trump as a threat to U.S. democracy, condemned the shooting and urged Americans to rely on the ballot box, not violence, to resolve their differences. Authorities were still trying to identify a motive for the shooting, after the gunman was killed by the U.S. Secret Service.
