About 80% of President Trump's income last year came from crypto
A newly released 234-page report by the Office of Government Ethics 🇺🇸 shows that Trump earned 69 million USD in 2024. Of that, 57 million USD came from the sale of WLFI tokens - a DeFi project advised by his family.
The remaining sources of income mainly come from royalties from products associated with his name:
- 3 million USD from the book “Save America”
- 2.8 million USD from Trump watches
- 2.5 million USD from “Trump Sneakers and Fragrances”
- 1.3 million USD from “The Greenwood Bible”
- 1 million USD from “45 Guitar” tokens and guitars
- 700,000 USD in speaking fees
The White House affirms that Trump's assets are currently managed by his sons through a private fund and that there are no conflicts of interest. The gifts section in the report also lists no gifts.
In contrast to Trump, Vice President JD Vance filed a 15-page declaration with over 50,000 USD earned from the book “Hillbilly Elegy” and a few other small investments.
