Franklin Graham's take on Donald Trump falling on Forbes' billionaire list was the most popular news story in the U.S.

According to data compiled by the social media tracking firm CrowdTangle, Graham's April 9 post, which shared a USA Today story about the updated Forbes ranking, attracted more than 967,000 reactions, 183,000 comments and 186,000 shares.
The "World's Billionaires 2021" list was released on April 6, and Trump was at 1,299.
If Trump had kept his business holdings, he would have been much richer, according to Graham, who is among the conservative figures that generate the top news-related posts on Facebook.
If Trump had paid capital gains taxes on the sales and put the money in a conflict-free fund, his net worth would be $1.6 billion higher.
$2.5 billion. Donald Trump's estimated net worth leaves him about $400 million short of making the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans. After 25 years on the Forbes 400 list, Trump fell off in 2021.
Surprising fact.
The first wave of the Covid-19 epidemic took hold of the United States in April 2020 and caused Trump's net worth to plummet to an estimated $2.1 billion. His fortune's recovery has not kept pace with other billionaires, leading to his decline in the rankings. The Forbes estimate shows that the U.S. billionaires got more than $1 trillion richer in the first two years of the 21st century.
Trump's large investment in big-city properties has helped his fortune. Forbes estimates that his hotel brand, Trump National Doral golf course and two properties in Manhattan lost a combined $735 million in net value during his presidency. His Mar-a-Lago estate and a 30% stake in a San Francisco office building increased their net value by $177 million. The ex-president's business debts increased to an estimated $1.3 billion as of October, up nearly $200 million from when he left office, but it's partly due to a loan taken out against the San Francisco tower that provided the ex-president with more cash.
There is a structure called the Tangent.
Graham shared an ABC News link post, which was the second most popular news post of the year. Conservative figures like Graham and Ben are often the most popular link posts because of their news stories. The top six link posts for the year all came from the UN children's agency, which provided information about the Covid pandemic response in developing countries.
