Melania Trump earned a six-figure sum earlier this year for her speech at a Republican fundraiser. That’s part of the million dollars she’s earned for it.
Her compensation and investments were listed in Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure report, which all presidential candidates must file.
The former first lady earns a significant income through speaking fees, real estate rentals in New York and Slovenia, and her non-fungible token (NFT) licensing deal.
One of the revenues mentioned is over $237,000 for a single lecture, paid for by the Log Cabin Republicans, in April 2024.
That month, Melania Trump hosted a $10,000 per ticket fundraiser for the conservatives LGBTQ group at Mar-a-Lago.

The event raised approximately $5 million, which was split between Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and the Republican Party.
Melania Trump also hosted a fundraiser for Log Cabin Republicans at the Trumps’ Trump Tower apartment in July. No payment is listed for that event.
The documents also show that Melanie Trump earned $330,607 through a licensing agreement with Designers Manager for the sale of NFTs.
She launched an NFT site after leaving the White House. The collections, which sell for $150 each, feature digital renderings of her likeness.
The former first lady has launched a new company, called MKT World LLC, to facilitate her speaking engagements and the sale of her NFTs.
Disclosures show she also has a significant real estate portfolio.
Her New York real estate holdings are estimated at $500,001 to $1,000,000.
She also receives between $15,001 and $50,000 in rent for residential properties in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
And the former first lady has about $250,000 in a savings account, the documents show.
Melania Trump has not been seen in public since her appearance at the Republican National Convention last month.
She did not address the delegates, although the president’s wife traditionally does so.
Instead, she sat in the audience listening to her husband, Donald Trump, accept the Republican nomination for president.

This fall she will publish her memoirs, entitled ‘Melania’.
The memoir will include “personal stories and family photos that she has never before shared with the public,” her office said.
She is selling two editions: a $150 collector’s edition with 256 full-color pages, with each copy signed by the author. The memoir edition will be 304 pages and available for $40 with signed copies available for $75.
“Melania” is published by Skyhorse Publishing, which published former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and attorney Alan Dershowitz, among others.
Many biographies and books have been written about the former first lady, but this is the first time she tells her story.
It’s unclear whether she’s worked with a co-author or whether she’s going on a book tour.
