Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump has reported earning more than $600 million in income through cryptocurrency ventures, golf clubs, licensing deals, and other business interests, according to a financial disclosure filed publicly on June 13.

The filing, believed to cover the 2024 calendar year, highlights Trump’s deepening ties with cryptocurrency. His income reportedly included over $320 million from a meme coin named $TRUMP and $57.35 million from token sales linked to World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance company. He also disclosed holding over 15.75 billion governance tokens in the venture.

While Trump claims to have handed over control of his business empire to his children through a trust, the income from these entities still accrues to him, reigniting concerns around potential conflicts of interest.

In total, Reuters estimates Trump’s reported assets to be worth at least $1.6 billion. His family’s crypto ventures also include involvement in bitcoin mining and digital asset ETFs, though most of the earnings from these activities may not be reflected in this filing.

Beyond crypto, Trump’s traditional businesses remain strong. His Florida-based golf resorts—including Trump National Doral, Jupiter, and West Palm Beach—along with the Mar-a-Lago club, brought in at least $217.7 million. Trump National Doral alone accounted for $110.4 million in revenue.

Trump’s global real estate and branding reach is evident in the disclosure, with $10 million reported from a development project in India, $5 million from Vietnam, and nearly $16 million from a licensing deal in Dubai.

He also continues to earn from product endorsements and merchandising. The report shows royalties of $2.8 million from Trump Watches, $2.5 million from branded sneakers and fragrances, and $1.3 million from a Bible edition endorsed jointly by singer Lee Greenwood and Trump himself. His NFT collection brought in $1.16 million, while First Lady Melania Trump earned $216,700 from her own NFT line.

Besides his business ventures, Trump reported at least $12 million in income from passive investments. These include stakes in Blue Owl Capital and bond funds managed by Charles Schwab and Invesco.

The financial disclosure, signed on June 13, offers a detailed look at Trump’s expanding financial interests, particularly in digital assets, as he eyes a possible political return.
