Fox Business • • business
Key Points:
- Tech billionaire Michael Dell and his wife Susan announced a public-private partnership to provide millions of young Americans with a financial stake in the economy through "Trump Accounts," offering $250 each to the first 25 million qualifying children.
- Trump Accounts, launching on July 4, is part of new tax legislation that gives every U.S. citizen born between 2025 and 2028 a $1,000 government baseline investment, with parents able to register children and manage the accounts until they turn 18.
- Parents can optionally contribute up to $5,000 annually to the accounts, which are invested in American companies, aiming to help children build wealth for education, homeownership, business startups, and long-term financial security.
- President Donald Trump projects the program will generate $3 to $4 trillion in wealth for young Americans over 15 years, calling it a transformative policy, while Dell has pledged over $6 billion to support the initiative.
