Donald Trump declared his earnings on Friday as part of his 2024 U.S. presidential bid. Among his main sources of income are NFT trading cards and the talks he gives.
Donald Trump on Friday filed a tax return as part of his 2024 US presidential bid that offers rare insight into his finances. THE document of a hundred pageswhich he was required to provide to an electoral commission as a 2024 presidential candidate, details in often vague terms the extent of his properties and income.
He notably reports gains between 100,000 and 1 million dollars (90,000 to 900,000 euros) thanks to the trading of NFT collectible cards. Sold for 99 dollars, a little less than 90 euros, they could represent Donald Trump as a cowboy, an astronaut or a fighter pilot.
The ex-president also received more than 5 million dollars (4.5 million euros) for having given conferences, a sum managed by the company CIC Ventures, according to the declaration.
A golf resort estimated at 4 billion dollars
The parent company of his social network Truth Social, Trump Media & Technology Group, did not otherwise earn him more than 200 dollars (180 euros), the document indicates. Donald Trump, however, owns 90% of this company valued between 5 and 25 million dollars (4.5 to 22.5 million euros), still according to the same source.
The statement also mentions the former leader’s international operations, including a golf resort project in Oman estimated at 4 billion dollars (3.6 billion euros), in partnership with a Saudi real estate firm. Donald Trump also received more than 5 million dollars (4.5 million euros) in royalties from an entity called “DT Marks Oman”.
Tax returns already published
At the end of 2022, a parliamentary commission had published a report on certain tax declarations of the former president, which he had long tried in court to keep secret.
For example, we learned that he had paid only 750 dollars in taxes in 2017, his first year in the White House, then around a million in 2018 and 2019 and nothing at all in 2020, the year of his defeat against Joe. Biden and where his earnings were in the red of $5 million.
