Nearly 1,000 pages of Donald Trump’s personal finances have been laid bare, revealing the US president made more than $1bn (£750m) from cryptocurrency alone during his first year back in the White House.
The 927-page report, filed with the US Office of Government Ethics, dwarfs the disclosures of his predecessors and colleagues. Vice-President JD Vance’s filing ran to just 17 pages; Joe Biden’s for his last year in office was a mere 11.
“Trump made over $1bn from crypto in 2025, while his branded Bibles, perfumes and Melania’s Amazon documentary added millions.”
Beyond the digital currency windfall, the documents detail how Trump turned his name into a multi-million-dollar merchandising empire. His coffee-table book *Save America* generated $1.8m (£1.38m) last year, while a Trump-embossed Bible brought in $208,000. Branded trainers and fragrances – including the Victory 47 perfume for women, retailing at $249 a bottle – added $67,000 to his income. Even a limited‑edition “American Eagle” guitar earned $36,000 from what the report describes as “Maga musicians”.
Melania Trump also figures prominently in the disclosure. The first lady made $10.7m from her eponymous documentary, produced by Amazon, which spent $40m on the film. She was credited as producer and subject; the documentary took $7m at the box office in 2025. Separately, she earned $6m from the sale of non‑fungible tokens and $520,000 from her memoir, also titled *Melania*.
Trump’s trading activity was equally staggering: the report records 21,285 share trades during 2025 spanning hundreds of companies. Among them was Nvidia, the chipmaker that last October became the first publicly-traded firm valued at $5tn. Nvidia has been at the centre of US–China trade tensions. Last summer it agreed with the White House to invest billions in American chip manufacturing – a pledge that sent its shares soaring. Then in August, the Trump administration said Nvidia had agreed to pay the US government 15% of revenues from selling one of its AI chips to China. Later that month, investors acting on behalf of Trump purchased between $5m…
The disclosure paints a picture of a president whose personal fortune is tightly interwoven with his political brand, and whose financial interests span everything from Bible sales to the frontier of artificial intelligence.
