Trump brought in $57 million from crypto venture, millions from sneakers and bibles

Source: USA Today

Updated June 14, 2025, 5:56 a.m. ET


President Donald Trump’s sources of income range from luxury properties around the world to royalty payments and license fees for using his name and likeness on everything from sneakers to bibles, according to a financial disclosure form filed June 13. The 234-page document covered the calendar year 2024.

One of the biggest money-making ventures for Trump was World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency platform launched last year. It brought in $57.3 million. His meme coin $TRUMP was not part of the form as it was only released this year.

Last month, Trump dined with 220 of the biggest investors in his $TRUMP meme coin as a reward for making the leaderboard in a contest to be among the top purchasers, raising ethics questions.

His estate and member’s only private club Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, brought in more than $50 million, meanwhile a property in Dubai generated more than $15 million in license fees.

He's probably gonna die a fat dragon atop his hoard, and he's likely fine with that.

is to make it onto the Forbes 100 richest individuals in the world. That's his only measure of a successful life. Nothing - and I mean no thing - else matters to him.

If there will even be a report next year? Other than to brag. Can’t make the Forbes list without bragging.

Accounting for the one's actually declared. The clandestine numbers are bound to be much higher.

Even so, it doesn’t change the fact he is old and in poor health, and whenever his time comes, every dollar will be left behind. Is this just his amped up response to his overwhelming fear of death?

My, have times changed.

Or is it the usual things are only evil and bad and wrong if a Democrat does it but if a Republican does it, it's nobody's business, nothing to see here, move along?

Things that make you go hmmmm.

Also, it is true after all, there IS a sucker born every minute. Who would buy anything from that grifter? A lot of idiots, evidently.

Right?

Hawking Bibles and shoes and having a crypto fund couldn’t possibly create any conflicts of interest. Or Jared’s Saudi funded investment fund.

Or…yeah…there’s a lot of stuff.

IOKIYAR again.
