    The New Yorker reported that earlier in 2026, while Kushner took part in talks with Iran, he was also discreetly raising another five billion dollars for Affinity Partners in the Middle East. No source confirms that the money was raised, so no amount is counted. The New Yorker also reported that new Middle East investments helped the fund grow by 30% in 2025, to more than $6 billion.

    Corrected on 25 Oct 2026: this line previously counted $5 billion as capital raised, based on a summary that misdescribed the New Yorker's report of a fundraising effort.

    Jared Kushner “I have raised no additional funds for Affinity Partners since President Trump was elected to his second term.” He said he ended all talks about additional fundraising when he was asked to extend his envoy role. Mediaite, via Yahoo News
