Five? All of Trump's immediate family is making money off of the Trump name and it's reasonable to conclude that some of their friends are too.
So, lets stipulate that it's a common problem in Washington and then decide who is the worst offender.

Trump is far and away the most corrupt, self-dealing mfr, to occupy the WH in modern history. The public has absorbed that and it is reflected in the polls.
This was to be the big enchilada against Biden. Guess what? It isn't. Hunter Biden: Republicans release report on Joe Biden's son
If there is an autumn bombshell coming at the Biden campaign regarding the former vice-president's family involvement in Ukraine or China, this report from Senate Republicans isn't it.
Calling Hunter Biden's position on the board of a Ukrainian gas company "awkward" and "problematic" is weak sauce compared to the conservative media frenzy and Donald Trump's own accusations lobbed at Joe Biden's son earlier this year.
Beneath the headlines, however, the report does detail the breadth of Hunter Biden's connections to questionable foreign interests and business leaders in Ukraine and China - creating "criminal financial, counterintelligence and extortion concerns". It suggests Joe Biden's son was profiting from his family name - a potential conflict of interest that is unsavoury but not unusual in Washington's corridors of power.
The report acknowledges there are still unknown details, but time is running out for Republicans to turn this topic into something voters will care about. If Joe Biden wins in November, however, his political opponents are likely to continue to dig, in hopes of building on the information in the report to come up with more tangible evidence of misconduct that could damage his presidency.
Presentational grey line What did the report find?
The Senate Homeland Security Committee's report found that two members of the Obama administration had complained in 2015 to the White House about Hunter Biden's new lucrative role on the board of Burisma.
"Hunter Biden's position on Burisma's board cast a shadow over the work of those advancing anticorruption reforms in Ukraine," the report says. But the report failed to find evidence that Obama administration policy was influenced by the younger Biden's job, instead citing concerns from officials who called his job "awkward for all US officials pushing an anti-corruption agenda in Ukraine".
"Hunter Biden's position on Burisma's board was problematic and did interfere in the efficient execution of policy with respect to Ukraine," the report says, adding that Biden relatives "cashed in on Joe Biden's vice presidency".
But it continues: "The extent to which Hunter Biden's role on Burisma's board affected US policy toward Ukraine is not clear."
Ahead of the report's release - just six weeks before the presidential election - committee chairman Ron Johnson said in interviews that it was the committee's goal to release it before the election in order for voters to learn more about Mr Biden and his family before casting their ballot.
