Trump’s sweeping 10% tariffs on China could also clash with Bessent, who has called for more gradual tariffs. He won the job after Musk criticized him as a “business-as-usual choice” but has Wall Street’s approval. Hedge fund CEO, nominated as Treasury Secretary. Recently disclosed assets worth at least $521 million. Securing American Greatness – $67,558,284 Sergio de la Peña – A former military officer and political donor, de la Peña has supported Republican candidates, particularly those focused on national security and defense.

Bradbury - The Heritage Foundation Steven Mnuchin – Former Goldman Sachs executive, served as Secretary of the Treasury. Steven Witkoff – Real estate tycoon. Estimated net worth: $1.5 billion Stewart Baker, Steptoe & Johnson LLP Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America Susie Wiles – Trump senior advisor. Wiles has been credited as a steadfast and quiet power behind Trump’s third White House campaign, running a largely disciplined and ultimately winning operation. She is a longtime Florida-based Republican strategist who ran Trump’s campaign in the state in 2016 and 2020. Before that, she ran Rick Scott’s 2010 campaign for Florida governor and briefly served as the manager of former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman’s 2012 presidential campaign. Wiles is the daughter of the late NFL playerturned-broadcaster Pat Summerall. Teneo Network Tevi Troy, Mercatus Center Texas Public Policy Foundation The American Conservative The American Main Street Initiative The Claremont Institute The Conservative Partnership Institute The Conservative Promise The Leadership Institute The Silicon Valley venture capitalist and close friend of Musk will serve as Trump’s “AI and crypto czar” after fundraising for Trump in San Francisco, boosting the president-elect on his influential All In podcast, and spending election night at Mar-a-Lago. The UFC kingpin had a prime seat at Trump’s inauguration, and he will now serve on Meta’s board, likely making him Trump’s envoy to the social media giant. The White House “border czar” is helping to lead Trump and Miller’s sweeping mass deportation program, and he’s a high-profile defender of the administration’s more contentious policies, like the plan to house deportees at Guantanamo Bay. The White House Chief of Staff led Trump’s 2024 campaign and is widely credited with disciplining a chaotic operation. Still, Trump’s prior chiefs of staff have struggled to stay employed. The world’s richest man spent over $200 million to get Trump elected, and his Department of Government Efficiency has exerted vast influence, rapidly slashing agencies like USAID and accessing the government’s payment and HR systems. He’s also become inseparable from the commander-in-chief—even popping up in Trump family photos at Mar-a-Lago. How long can that last? (Net worth: More than $400 billion.) Thiel isn’t taking a formal Trump administration job, and he and Trump reportedly had a falling-out over donations in 2023. But his influence over this White House—through all of his connections—should be massive. (Net worth: $15.4 billion.) This billionaire venture capitalist was Trump’s biggest Silicon Valley backer in 2016, but more importantly, many of Trump’s allies have deep ties to Thiel or are his acolytes. J.D. Vance is a Thiel protégé, and Thiel is close with other Trump associates like Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Thomas F. Gilman served as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Administration and Chief Financial Officer of the U.S. Department of Commerce in the Trump Administration. Thomas Peterffy – Founder and chairman of Interactive Brokers. Thomas Pyle - Institute for Energy Research Thomas W. Spoehr - The Heritage Foundation Thompson Todd Thurman - American Cornerstone Institute Tilman Fertitta – Owner of the Houston Rockets, worth $10.2 billion,set to be U.S. Ambassador to Italy. Timothy M. Dunn – $35,415,200 Timothy Mellon – Heir to the Mellon banking dynasty.$172,042,500 Timothy Mellon – $150,000,000 Tom Barrack – Estimated net worth: $1 billion Investment banker, nominated as Ambassador to Turkey. Tom Dans - Amberwave Partners Tom Homan - The Heritage Foundation Tom Price – Former congressman and orthopedic surgeon, served as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Tommy Joyce US energy official Tony Tata - Tata Leadership Group, LLC Travis Fisher - The Heritage Foundation Trent McCotter - Boyden Gray & Associates Troup Hemenway – Known for supporting conservative causes, Hemenway has been involved in political donations, particularly to Republican candidates. Troy Edgar – A former Republican politician in California, Edgar has been an active donor to Republican campaigns. Trump participated in some WWE events over the years, and McMahon was one of his most generous benefactors in his 2016 campaign. Trump tapped her to lead the Small Business Administration during his first term in office. She left to work on his reelection campaign and spent the years since strategizing for another Trump term. Trump picked him to lead the Office of Management and Budget, a low-profile role that grew even more powerful with Trump’s unprecedented attempt to pause many federal grants (which the courts have put on hold). Trump’s Education Secretary nominee co-chaired Trump’s transition, and her pro-wrestling DNA (she cofounded the company that became WWE with husband Vince McMahon) pairs well with Trump. Trump’s Middle East envoy is getting a lot of credit for the Israel-Hamas ceasefire—and he’s touting Trump’s controversial plan for the U.S. to “take over” Gaza. The real estate investor and Trump friend also took center stage on Inauguration Day. (Net worth: At least $1 billion.) Trump’s pick for FBI director is known for his fierce loyalty. The January 1 New Orleans attack has led some allies to push for his speedy confirmation. He is facing little Senate GOP resistance despite his hardline views, including promoting 2020 election conspiracies and promising to punish Trump’s supposed enemies, including those “in the media.” Trump’s Secretary of State is a leading Trump Yes Man in early foreign policy moves: USAID’s shuttering, the proposed Gaza takeover, a plan to send deportees to El Salvador, and even a longshot push to buy Greenland. Trump’s son-in-law told Forbes he may advise Trump informally, but so far, his influence is not apparent— though some see his hand in Trump’s dream of turning Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East.” Kushner controversially suggested something like that last year. He advised Lutnick and may assist more with Middle East diplomacy. (Net worth: Just under $1 billion.)
