Tax returns released by the Ways and Means Committee show that in 2017, Trump sold his shares in Apple and Microsoft.
According to his 2017 tax return, Trump and his wife Melania sold stock in six companies in early 2017, including the tech giants Apple and Microsoft.
As the charts below show, post-2017 both tech stocks rose sharply and peaked in 2021-22. Although both companies have seen their valuation fall recently, both are still far above the price that the Trumps sold at. Both tech stocks were bought by the Trumps in October 2013, and both gained significantly. The Apple stock was bought for $481,505 and was sold for $833,118, making $351,613, a gain of 73 percent. The Microsoft stock was bought for $248,867, sold in 2017 for $464,558, and made the Trumps $215,691, an 87 percent gain.An investment of $481,500 in Apple stock in 2013 would now be worth $4,150,000, making a total profit of $3,669,000.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump and former first lady Melania Trump arrive for a New Year's event at his Mar-a-Lago home on December 31, 2022 in Palm Beach, Florida. Tax returns show that the Trumps missed out on millions of dollars from selling Apple and Microsoft stock in 2017.
