First Lady Melania Trump received a $10.71 million (£8 million) licensing fee for the Amazon MGM documentary, Melania, according to newly released federal financial disclosures. The figure highlights the gap between the film's significant payout to the subject and its modest $16.7 million (£12.4 million) worldwide box office performance.
The 927-page filing, published by the US Office of Government Ethics on 30 June 2026, details several revenue streams for the First Lady. In addition to the documentary licensing fee, the report lists over $6 million (£4.5 million) in proceeds from the sale of NFTs and other collectibles, and roughly $521,161 (about £390,000) in licensing revenue tied to her 2024 memoir.
