Shares of $DJT, Donald Trump's media company, have skyrocketed, rising over 300% in the past month amid surging poll numbers ahead of the election, which is one week away. The stock jumped 20% today alone, now trading above the July high, increasing Trump's net worth by more than $3.7 billion this month. Trump's net worth has increased by approximately $881 million today, as he owns over 114 million shares of $DJT. The surge is attributed to rising betting odds favoring Trump, who is leading Harris in polls, including in a state the GOP hasn't won in nearly 25 years. Furthermore, analysts label $DJT as a 'new meme stock' due to its rapid rise.
