Nearly 1,000 pages detailing US President Donald Trump’s financial information have been released – a document running to 927 pages, far longer than Vice-President JD Vance’s 17-page report and dwarfing Joe Biden’s 11-page disclosure for his last year in office.
The annual financial disclosure report for 2025, published by the US Office of Government Ethics, shows Trump made more than $1bn (£750m) from cryptocurrency alone. But buried among the sea of numbers are a series of smaller ventures that also added millions to his fortune.
“Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure reveals over $1bn from cryptocurrency and millions from branded merchandise.”
Merchandise bearing his name proved lucrative. His coffee-table book, Save America, generated $1.8m (£1.38m) last year. The Trump-embossed Bible brought in $208,000, while branded trainers and fragrances – including the Victory 47 perfume for women, retailing at $249 a bottle – earned $67,000.

She also earned $6m from the sale of non-fungible tokens – a type of cryptocurrency – and $520,000 from her book, also titled Melania.

One of these was Nvidia, the tech giant whose chips are seen as key to the future of artificial intelligence. Nvidia last October became the first publicly-traded firm to be valued at $5tn, and has long been at the centre of a tussle between the US and China over trade and national security. Last summer, Nvidia agreed with the White House that it would invest billions in making its chips in the US, sending its share price soaring. Then in August, the Trump administration said Nvidia had agreed to pay it 15% of revenue generated from selling one of its AI chips to China. Later that month, investors acting on behalf of Trump purchased between $5m …
