Trump and Melania’s wealth: $635 million in assets, $7.4m from NFTs and substantial legal debts

Donald Trump’s financial disclosures provide a rare glimpse into the billionaire's diverse income streams, including real estate, cryptocurrency, gold bars, and unique items like Bibles. Trump has accumulated significant earnings from real estate and various ventures, totalling $635 million in assets, but faces substantial legal debts.

Real estate and unique ventures boost Trump’s earnings
The 167-page filing reveals that Trump earned $300,000 in royalties from a special edition of the Lee Greenwood Bible, priced at $59.99 and marketed as “the only Bible endorsed by President Trump.” A signed copy costs $1,000. His book reprints also generated income, with The Art of the Deal bringing in between $50,000 and $100,000, A MAGA Journey earning $505,765, and Letters to Trump by Royden LaFond making $4,474,420.

Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort reported $56.9 million in revenues, an increase of $4.6 million from last year’s report. However, the costs to maintain the resort were not disclosed.

Trump’s golf courses were also lucrative, with National Doral generating $160.1 million, Bedminster Club $37 million, Scottish Turnberry $33.5 million, and Jupiter, Florida’s Trump National Golf Club $31 million.

Melania Trump’s contributions and NFT success
Melania Trump contributed to their earnings, making $237,500 from an April speaking engagement at Mar-a-Lago for the Log Cabin Republicans. She earned another $220,000 for speaking at the 2022 Log Cabin Republican gala. Together, Trump and his wife made $7.4 million from NFT “Collect Trump Cards” trading cards.

Gold, crypto and legal liabilities
The former president listed ownership of $250,000 in gold bars and $1 million in cryptocurrencies. He also holds 114,750,000 shares of Trump Media and Technology Group, estimated to be worth over $2.6 billion when they become tradable in September.

Despite these substantial assets, Trump is still liable for $83.3 million from E. Jean Carroll’s sexual abuse and defamation cases and $454 million from a civil fraud judgment in New York state. Trump is appealing both judgments.

In comparison, Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff reported a 2024 income of $450,380 and assets of around $10 million.

From The Deep
This moment was captured off the coast of Tahiti. I have been surveying the outer reef of Tahiti for the tiger shark population since 2015, getting to know many of the tiger sharks that frequent that site over the years as they return along their migratory routes. However the site is very sensitive to conditions and difficult to access in certain months due to seasonal changes and being so shallow. This day we decided to go anyways but give it a shot at the drop-off (a depth of about 1,000m) and see if any of the big girls were lurking in the deep. Sure enough she showed up and spent two hours following our boat as we drifted. It wasn’t like on the reef… she didn’t approach along the outskirts of the corals beneath or hugging the waves at the surface. She rose vertical from the deep, seemingly bottomless blue. Appearing out of the darkness. A much different approach and perspective than usually experienced. There's no greater feeling than one of the ocean's apex predators ascending directly to you from the abyss. After hundreds of surveys at the Tahiti site, this dive remains at the front of my mind because of this approach and the deeply endless blue hues. SHARK ID: TT18F SIZE: 3.2 M SEX: FEMALE

CryptoPunk #2140
The CryptoPunks are 10,000 uniquely generated characters. No two are exactly alike, and each one of them can be officially owned by a single person on the Ethereum blockchain. Originally, they could be claimed for free by anybody with an Ethereum wallet, but all 10,000 were quickly claimed. Now they must be purchased from someone via the marketplace that's also embedded in the blockchain.
