Michael and Susan Dell just gave $6.25 billion directly to 25 million American kids: $250 each, invested in the stock market through Trump Accounts. Add $100 a month until age 18, and that $250 becomes $1.2 million by retirement. At the market’s historical 7–10% average: By age 18: → $250 alone: $850 to $1,400 → Plus $100/month: $44,000 to $61,000 → Plus $416/month (the max): $180,000 to $251,000 By 67, contributing until 18 and never touching it: → $250 alone: $23,000 to $148,000 → Plus $100/month: $1.2 million to $6.6 million → Plus $416/month: $5 million to $27 million By 67, contributing every month for life: → $100/month: $1.8 million to $9.6 million → $416/month: $7.6 million to $39.5 million That’s why this is the greatest philanthropic gift in American history. They didn't give it to a nonprofit, a foundation, or an NGO, but directly to 25 million American kids, as ownership. Every one of them now owns a stake in the American economy and will grow up watching it grow. They’ll learn how the stock market and compounding turn small, patient investments into real wealth. God bless @MichaelDell and Susan Dell. American patriots. 🇺🇸 P.S. Every American kid under 18 with a Social Security number now has a Trump Account.
