ALL THE MONEY NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Daniel de Visé Personal Finance Reporter

Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.

Maybe it's time for a philosophical debate about the meaning of the term "dollar store."

Discount retail giant Dollar Tree has announced that it will raise the price cap in its stores to $7, my colleagues report.

We think we see a trend. Back in 2021, the company raised the base price of its items to $1.25, and a $5 price cap was set in June. A dollar is not what it used to be.

Trump joins the ranks of the world's wealthiest

Donald Trump, the presidential candidate whose financial fortunes seem to make daily headlines, sits now among the world's 500 wealthiest people.

Trump's net worth, boosted by a public offering of Truth Social stock (and some good fortune in a New York court), now stands at an estimated $6.5 billion, Jessica Guynn reports.

For a blow-by-blow of how Trump's fortune reached these heights, read the story.
