Did Trump earn over $50 mn from crypto? POTUS made massive amount by selling watches, sneakers and bibles

President Donald Trump made more than $10 million last year selling items like watches, sneakers, Bibles, and guitars. But the most money came from a cryptocurrency platform, according to a new financial disclosure. The report, released Friday by the Office of Government Ethics, shows Trump earned $57.3 million from his stake in World Liberty Financial, a crypto company. Trump's "$TRUMP" memecoin wasn't included in the report because it launched in January, but it has reportedly made about $320 million in fees so far. Trump also made millions in licensing fees. His Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida brought in over $50 million, according to the 234-page report, which appears to cover income from the 2024 calendar year. In comparison, President Joe Biden's financial disclosure was just 11 pages. $2.8 million from Trump Watches $3 million from "Save America" coffee table books $2.5 million from Trump-branded sneakers and cologne $1.3 million from sales of the Greenwood Bible $1.05 million from '45' branded guitars Trump launched the guitars in late 2023. The electric and acoustic models featured an American eagle and sold for $1,500 to $10,500. Earlier in 2024, Trump released his 'Never Surrender' high-top sneakers at $399 a pair.

Here's what we know Trump has promoted these items to supporters, despite critics accusing him of using his political fame for personal profit. His crypto work is also getting attention. A Financial Times report last month said Trump's media company plans to raise $3 billion to invest in Bitcoin and other crypto. Trump Media & Technology Group — which owns Truth Social — is reportedly trying to raise $2 billion in new equity and $1 billion through a bond deal. Some critics say this raises conflict-of-interest concerns, as Trump could benefit from policies he supports in office. Last month, Trump held a private dinner at his Virginia golf club for 200 top investors in the $TRUMP memecoin. One ethics group called it 'nakedly corrupt.'

Trump's 2024 income tops $600 mn, driven by crypto, resorts, brand deals

US President Donald Trump reported more than $600 million in income for 2024 and declared over $1.6 billion in assets, revealing a business empire that spans high-end real estate, cryptocurrency, global brand licensing, and retail merchandise. The figures are detailed in a 234-page disclosure filed on June 13, offering a snapshot of his financial status before winning a second term in office. Crypto surge boosts income portfolio Trump's expanding footprint in the cryptocurrency space was a highlight of the disclosure. He reported $57.3 million in income from World Liberty Financial, where he holds 15.75 billion governance tokens. Additionally, Trump earned $1.2 million from trading cards in the form of NFTs bearing his image. First Lady Melania Trump received over $216,000 from her own NFT line. The report also lists Trump's personal cryptocurrency holdings, including at least $1 million in ethereum. Vice President JD Vance disclosed holding $250,000 in bitcoin. Golf resorts and Mar-a-Lago revenue streams Golf and hospitality remain Trump's most reliable sources of income. His Florida-based resorts—Jupiter, Doral and West Palm Beach—along with his private club at Mar-a-Lago, together brought in $217.7 million. Trump National Doral topped the list, generating over $110 million. Across the US, Trump's golf courses, hotels and restaurants earned $378 million in revenue, plus $22 million in management fees. His international properties in Ireland and Scotland contributed another $38.9 million. Foreign licensing, merchandise Trump's licensing and royalty businesses also played a major role in 2024. Foreign deals yielded $36 million, with highlights including $5 million from Vietnam, $10 million from India, and over $20 million from Dubai and Oman, largely via Saudi developer Dar Al Arkan. In the US, he earned $1.3 million from sales of the Greenwood Bible, co-branded with singer Lee Greenwood. Other Trump-branded merchandise included Trump Watches ($2.8 million), Trump Sneakers & Fragrances ($2.5 million), and his book Save America, which brought in $3 million. Conservative investments, rising legal liabilities The filing shows a conservative investment approach, focused on fixed-income funds. These include over $50 million in the Schwab Government Money Fund and up to $25 million each in Invesco short-term Treasury instruments and Blue Owl Capital holdings. Equity investments were modest, each capped at $250,000. However, legal troubles cast a shadow over the financial success. Trump acknowledged debts exceeding $50 million related to court rulings involving E. Jean Carroll and the New York attorney general. Two judgments—one for $90 million and another for $350 million plus interest—are noted as 'pending appeal.' Campaign-year monetisation The disclosure underscores Trump's strategy of monetising brand, visibility, and influence during a politically volatile year. Crypto ventures, licensing pacts and merchandise deals contributed significantly to earnings, even as court cases and political scrutiny escalated. First Lady Melania Trump reported over $700,000 in income from just two speaking engagements in 2024, both delivered to the Log Cabin Republicans, further strengthening the Trump family's revenue streams during the election cycle.
