A massive 927-page financial disclosure report released by the US Office of Government Ethics reveals the complex web of revenue streams President Donald Trump utilized during his first year back in office. While his disclosure dwarfs the 17-page report from Vice-President JD Vance and the 11-page document from Joe Biden’s final year, the details highlight an array of diverse income sources.
Licensing his name remains a lucrative venture. Trump earned $1.8 million from his book Save America, while branded Bibles brought in $208,000. Other merchandise, including signature trainers and his ‘Victory 47’ perfume, generated $67,000, alongside $36,000 from limited-edition guitars.
First Lady Melania Trump saw significant earnings as well. She secured $10.7 million from her eponymous Amazon documentary—which cost $40 million to produce—and earned an additional $520,000 from her book. She also reported $6 million in gains from non-fungible tokens.
Trump’s investment portfolio saw intense activity, with over 21,000 trades reported in 2025. This included significant stock purchases in tech giant Nvidia following a trade agreement between the company and the White House. Despite this, Trump maintains that his personal finances are managed by independent funds, asserting he remains distanced from investment decisions.
Acting royalties also contribute to the president’s wealth. He received $86,532 in pension payments from SAG-AFTRA, stemming from his previous roles in productions like Home Alone 2 and The Apprentice.
Finally, Trump settled several high-profile lawsuits against major media platforms. He received $24.5 million from Meta, $16 million each from Paramount and ABC News, $22 million from YouTube, and $8 million from Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey. According to the disclosures, much of these funds are designated for the Trump presidential library and the maintenance of the National Mall.
