Melania Trump NFT earnings surge 28x in 2025 as First Lady rakes in nearly $17 million in total earnings, filing shows

Overview

Melania Trump made 28 times greater income from NFTs in 2025 than in the year before, according to the 2026 annual federal disclosure report. Of her roughly $17 million in total earnings, she raked in $6 million from the digital collectibles. 

Under the page of the report listing her assets and income, the report states Melania Trump earned over $10.7 million from the “Melania” film, over $6 million from the sale of NFTs and other collectibles, and over half a million from her “Melania” memoir. 

The new report arrives in a wave of federally required financial disclosures that reveal a stunningly large amount of crypto-related holdings for the Trump family. The president and his sons alone added over $2 billion to the family coffers through their crypto ventures. 

The First Lady has launched multiple NFT collections over the past five years, with the previous disclosure report showing she made $216,710.74 from them in 2024, meaning that 2025’s figure was roughly 28 times larger. 

Melania announced the launch of her first NFT “Melania’s Vision”  – a watercolor of her eyes – in December 2021, only available for purchase for the second half of that month. She said a portion of the proceeds would go toward children aging out of foster care. It cost $150. 

Details

Her next NFT collection, “Head of State”, sold at auction for $180,000 in January 2022, but Bloomberg reported the blockchain evidence suggesting the transaction came from Melania’s wallet instead of another buyer. The opening bid for the NFT was $250,000. 

Her “POTUS TRUMP” NFT Collection also launched in 2022, priced at $50 each, to commemorate “important moments in our Nation’s history,” according to Melania, and she launched a similar USA themed collection in June 2023 with the same price tag.

The Trump Organization and the White House did not immediately respond to Fortune’s requests for comment.

Her website currently lists a Digital Collectibles section with sold-out NFTs: On The Move, The MetaRose, Women’s History Month Collection, Head Of State, and Melania’s Vision.
