US President Donald Trump's 2025 financial disclosure report, a nearly 1,000-page document, reveals diverse income streams including merchandise sales, media-related payouts, and significant share trading activity. The report, released by the US Office of Government Ethics, details earnings from items such as Bibles, perfumes, and guitars, alongside millions generated from lawsuits and a documentary.
Among the notable earnings, Trump's coffee-table book 'Save America' generated $1.8 million, while Trump-embossed Bibles brought in $208,000. Branded trainers and fragrances, including the 'Victory 47' perfume, added $67,000, and 'Maga musicians' contributed $36,000 through guitar purchases. The report also highlights over $1 billion in business dealings related to cryptocurrency.
Melania Trump earned $10.7 million from her self-titled documentary produced by Amazon, which reportedly cost $40 million to make and grossed $7 million at the box office. She also made $6 million from selling non-fungible tokens and $520,000 from her book, also titled 'Melania'.
The disclosure indicates a staggering 21,285 share trades involving numerous companies, including significant investments in Nvidia, a tech giant central to artificial intelligence development. The report notes Nvidia's agreement with the White House to invest in US chip manufacturing and a prior agreement to pay 15% of revenue from AI chip sales to China. Investors acting on Trump's behalf purchased between $5 million and $25 million in Nvidia stock.
Trump also receives Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) pensions, totaling $86,532 last year, stemming from his appearances in films like 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York' and his television work, including hosting 'The Apprentice'. He holds two pensions due to the pre-2012 merger of SAG and AFTRA.
Furthermore, Trump's legal actions against media firms resulted in substantial payouts. Meta, owner of Facebook and Instagram, paid $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit over account suspensions. Paramount, owner of CBS News, and ABC News each paid $16 million. YouTube settled a case for $22 million regarding account suspension, and Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X), paid $8 million. The net proceeds from these lawsuits are designated for the Trump presidential library or the National Mall trust.
