In a recent financial disclosure report, former first lady Melania Trump‘s substantial income and diverse investments have come to light and drawn attention.

Melania’s compensation and investments were listed as part of Trump’s latest financial disclosure report, which all presidential candidates are required to file. The report reveals that Melania has been earning a significant amount of money through various channels, such as speaking engagements, real estate holdings and her venture into the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

According to the disclosure, Melania earned $237,000 in compensation for a single speaking engagement with the Log Cabin Republicans in April 2024. The event, held at Mar-a-Lago, was a $10,000-per-ticket fundraiser that raised approximately $5 million, which was split between Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican Party.

Additionally, Melania has a licensing agreement with Designers Manager for the sale of her NFTs, which has earned her $330,607. She launched her own NFT platform after she left the White House, and her digital collections, which sell for $150 each, have become a lucrative source of income.

Melania has also established a new company, MKT World LLC, to manage her speaking engagements and the sale of her NFTs, further diversifying her revenue streams.

The disclosure also highlights Melania’s significant property portfolio, which includes residential real estate holdings in New York valued between $500,001 and $1,000,000, as well as rental income from a property in Ljubljana, Slovenia, which ranges from $15,001 to $50,000. She has an additional $250,000 in a savings account.

Notably absent from her husband’s election campaign the last few years, Melania made a rare appearance at the Republican National Convention in July. She has not appeared in the public eye since.

Melania‘s memoir, titled Melania, is set to be released this fall. The book will include personal stories, and previously unpublished family photos while it offers a rare glimpse into the former first lady’s life. The memoir will be available in two editions – a $150 collector’s edition with 256 pages in full color, and a $40 standard edition, with signed copies available for $75.

The autobiography will be released by Skyhorse Publishing, which has published Trump supporters such as former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and attorney Alan Dershowitz.
