Melania Trump’s financial dealings have been highlighted in recent disclosures, revealing significant income from speaking engagements and other ventures. A revised financial filing from former President Donald Trump detailed Melania’s earnings, including a $155,000 payment from the Make America Again super-PAC for a speaking engagement in December 2021. This payment was initially listed as “event planning and consulting” to the Designer’s Management Agency, which represents her.
Additionally, Melania received $250,000 from the Cabin Republicans LGBTQ group in December 2022 and another $250,000 from Fix California, a group associated with Trump ally Richard Grenell. These payments were part of a broader pattern where Trump-related PACs allocated funds for the former president’s spouse using campaign finances.
Melania’s speaking fees have been lucrative, with her earning over $1.2 million from various engagements. Notably, she was paid $2 million for speaking at two Universal Peace Federation World Summits and $2.5 million for commentary at the Triller Fight Club’s Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort boxing match.
