Nearly 1,000 pages detailing President Donald Trump’s financial information have been released for 2025, revealing how much he earned and where he invested during his first year back in the White House.
1. The report is huge
Trump’s annual financial disclosure runs to 927 pages, far longer than Vice‑President J.D. Vance’s 17‑page report and Joe Biden’s 11‑page 2024 report.
2. Merch gives Trump a profit
The presidency turned his name into a brand. A coffee‑table book called Save America brought in $1.8 million. A Trump‑branded Bible earned $208,000, while custom trainers and the Victory 47 perfume brought in $67,000. A limited edition guitar sold to high‑profile artists added roughly $36,000.
3. Melania’s earnings
Melania Trump’s Amazon‑produced documentary netted her $10.7 million. She also earned $6 million from NFT sales and $520,000 from her book Melania.
4. Share trading spree
The disclosure lists 21,285 share trades in 2025, including significant activity in Nvidia, the AI‑chip giant whose value surged to $5 trillion in October. Trump’s investments in Nvidia included buying between $5 million and $25 million in stock following a deal where Nvidia agreed to give him 15% of revenue from one of its AI chips sold in China.
5. Home Alone pension
Trump’s cameo in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York earned him two SAG‑AFTRA pensions, totaling $86,532 in 2024. The pension comes from an early appearance in the film and pre‑merger union membership.
6. Media lawsuits payouts
Trump’s legal fights with media firms netted $86.5 million. The largest settlement came from Meta, which paid $24.5 million for suspending his accounts after the 2021 Capitol riot. Paramount and ABC News each paid $16 million, YouTube added $22 million, and Jack Dorsey’s Twitter paid $8 million. These proceeds are earmarked for the Trump presidential library, the National Mall trust, and other unspecified uses.
