- Trump’s 2024 disclosure tallies more than $600 million in revenue, with U.S. golf resorts and hotels alone accounting for roughly two-thirds of the haul.
- Crypto ventures are no longer side hustles: a single token sale added $57 million, while the viral $TRUMP meme-coin has generated an estimated $320 million in fees.
- Low-effort income streams (foreign licensing, royalties on watches and sneakers, and NFT sales) collectively brought in over $60M, underscoring the enduring power of the Trump brand.
The latest federal filing, obtained by Reuters, offers a rare x-ray of the presidential balance sheet.
In it, Trump reports at least $600 million in income for 2024 and minimum assets of $1.6 billion. Beyond bricks-and-mortar real estate, the breakdown above, by Made Visual Daily, shows how the former real-estate mogul has remixed his empire for the digital age, often turning controversy into cash.
The table below breaks down selected line items as compiled from the disclosure and Reuters’ coverage. It’s important to note that numbers are often reported as a range, and Reuters used the low end estimates in their reporting. True earnings could be much higher.
| Income source (2024) | Low-end amount in millions |
|---|---|
| U.S. golf, hotel & restaurant revenue | 378 |
| Token sales (World Liberty Financial) | 57.4 |
| Ireland & Scotland golf/hotels | 38.9 |
| Overseas name-licensing & development | 31 |
| Royalties (watches, sneakers, Bible, etc.) | 26 |
| U.S. management fees | 22 |
| Passive interest & dividends | 12 |
| NFTs (Trump trading cards) | 1.2 |
At a glance, the data show that traditional hospitality assets, especially the Blue Monster-anchored Trump National Doral, remain the family’s primary cash engine, while token sales and licensing deliver high-margin, low-overhead income on the side.
The outsized $378 million slice from U.S. golf and hotel operations dwarfs every other line. Still, crypto and brand licensing—once fringe experiments—now rival some of Trump’s smaller resorts in annual take.
Hotels and Golf Still Anchor the Empire
U.S. golf and hospitality generated $378 million, bolstered by Doral’s standout $110 million year. Another $22 million flowed in as management fees, illustrating how day-in, day-out greens fees remain the bedrock of Trump’s empire.
Overseas, courses in Scotland and Ireland chipped in roughly $39 million, while projects in Dubai, Vietnam, and India paid $31 million in name-licensing and development fees.
Crypto’s Sudden Impact
The disclosure lists $57.3 million from token sales tied to World Liberty and notes a personal stash of 15.75 billion governance tokens. Those proceeds exclude fees from the president’s $TRUMP meme-coin (estimated at $320 million earlier this year) which will appear in next year’s report. The episode highlights how quickly Trump has leveraged Web3 to diversify his income.
Brand Power Without Real Estate
Royalties from everything from Trump Watches to the Greenwood-endorsed Bible added at least $26 million. Even NFTs—$1.16 million for Donald and $216,700 for Melania—prove the family name still converts clicks into cash.
First Lady Melania Trump earned roughly $217,000 from her own NFT collection and continues to command six-figure speaking fees, underscoring the family’s wider brand strategy.
When paired with our look at the decade-long rise in Trump’s net worth, the 2024 disclosure shows a business model increasingly untethered from physical assets. Whether you admire or distrust that model, it is a real-time case study in the economics of celebrity.
