Donald Trump’s recently released financial disclosure report reveals a tangled web of cash. It centers on massive profits from diverse business operations, including huge debts resulting from pending lawsuits. The 234-page document details income sources for the calendar year 2024, painting a picture of a businessman navigating both lucrative opportunities and legal challenges.
Roughly half of that profit stems from Donald Trump’s surprisingly successful cryptocurrency market investment, according to the unexpected financial disclosure. In 2024, completed token sales by WLF Holdco LLC exceeded $57.3 million. Trump, through DT Marks Defi LLC, on paper owns a 75 percent stake in the company. This figure further emphasizes the lucrative power of digital assets as a means to fund the former president.
The report uncovers more than $50 million in liabilities connected to litigation against E. Jean Carroll. Carroll has previously brought two successful lawsuits against Trump. One of these suits targets him for sexual abuse and defamation, while the other suit focuses on sexual assault and defamation. Carroll won on both, tacking even more financial burden.
Outside of crypto, Trump’s proven money makers are still producing serious cash flow. His Mar-a-Lago estate and member’s-only club raked in over $50 million. Licensing fees from an as-yet-unbuilt Dubai property figured into his $15 million abode. Royalty payments for his coffee table book, Save America, were $3 million.
Further, Trump’s forays into merchandise have been a hit. Sales of Trump-branded sneakers and Trump-branded fragrances raked in $2.5 million. The profits from the “God Bless America” Bibles shipped $1.3 million, and the Trump Guitars reaped $1 million. Further, Trump hosted a secretive dinner party for the 220 largest holders of his $TRUMP crypto tokens.
Zach Witkoff, son of real estate developer Steve Witkoff, according to reports, is on Donald Trump’s leadership team. The report failed to mention what position he serves in.
