In July 2024, Melania hosted her second fundraiser for the Log Cabin Republicans at Trump Tower, with reports indicating that the event raised $1.4 million. However, her earnings from this event are not included in the financial documents.
Additionally, the report shows that Melania earned $330,607 from a licensing agreement related to her NFT sales, which she started after her time in the White House. Her NFT collection features various digital renderings, including her likeness and a tribute to the Apollo 11 moon landing.
To manage her speaking events and NFT sales, a company called MKT World LLC has been established under her name. The documents also reveal that Melania owns residential properties in New York valued between $500,001 and $1,000,000, and she earns between $15,001 and $50,000 in rent from properties in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
While Melania’s earnings are substantial, they pale in comparison to the income generated by the Mar-A-Lago club, which brought in nearly $57 million for Donald Trump. Similarly, the Trump National Golf Club in Lamington, New Jersey, reported over $37 million in golf-related revenue.
The disclosures also indicate that Donald Trump has over $100 million in liabilities, largely stemming from legal challenges in New York, including judgments from two civil lawsuits by E. Jean Carroll. The liabilities related to the first lawsuit amount to up to $5 million for defamation, while the second lawsuit, where Trump was found liable for harming Carroll’s professional reputation, totals $50 million.
