Donald Trump's recently filed federal financial disclosure reveals a diverse and substantial income stream in 2024, contrasting sharply with Vice President JD Vance's financial portfolio. The 234-page pdf filed with the Office of Government Ethics lists line by line income from his many ventures. That’s everything from crypto holdings in the $1 million to $5 million range, NFT startups and book sales to celebrity merchandise. These holdings and earnings will surely draw lots of public and media scrutiny.
What we can glean from the financial disclosure is how much of Trump’s digital asset escapades he is trying to promote. His crypto holdings, worth somewhere between $1 million and $5 million, represent a significant bet on this rapidly changing ecosystem. His participation in non-fungible tokens (NFTs) brought in $100,000 in direct sales. On top of that, he made $1 million in NFT-related licensing fees.
Far from being limited to digital assets, Trump’s financial success reaches into more old school endeavors. He made at least $3 million off of what he calls “The Greenwood Bible,” aka “Save America.” Royalties from his branded merchandise added more than $11 million to his earnings.
Vice President JD Vance’s relatively modest 15 page long financial disclosure did not list any holdings in crypto. This glaring contrast highlights the fact that Trump’s income is enormous and diverse.
Likely getting the most attention will be the disclosure of Trump’s income—especially his new ventures in Cryptocurrency and NFTs. The intersection of politics and digital assets continues to be a frequent point of discussion. Trump’s financial interventions in this space will undoubtedly raise a lot of eyebrows and make waves.
