Former President Donald Trump, who built his billion-dollar fortune in the brick-and-mortar world of real estate, is getting a financial boost from digital assets including cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, a new financial disclosure form shows.
Trump, whose net worth Forbes estimates at $4.5 billion, disclosed he earned $7.2 million in an NFT licensing deal, while he has also socked away at least $1 million, and up to $5 million, in a "virtual ethereum key."
His financial disclosures also showed earnings from several book sales, including $300,000 from royalties for a $59.99 Bible he endorsed in partnership with singer Lee Greenwood, as well as $4.5 million for "Letters to Trump," a 2023 collection of letters sent to Trump over the years from celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and other notables.
The disclosure forms, which are required of all presidential candidates, also outlined his liabilities, which range from several mortgages on properties including Trump Tower in Manhattan to some newer and greater debts related to legal judgments.
