President Donald Trump made more than a billion dollars during his first year back in office, thanks in part to his cryptocurrency assets, as First Lady Melania Trump raked in millions from her documentary.

Much of the president’s earnings last year came from his family’s crypto ventures, in which he secured more than $1.4 billion (£1 billion), according to a financial disclosure filing released on Tuesday by the US Office of Government Ethics.

It details how Trump earned more than $580 million from crypto-related activities, including approximately $515 million tied to token sales from World Liberty Financial LLC, which is managed in part by his sons, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump.

He also made about $65 million from equity sales associated with the firm and another $635 million from the sale of his $TRUMP meme coins.

Meanwhile, the first lady reported $10.7 million in net proceeds from a licensing agreement connected to her eponymous documentary, ‘Melania’, which performed better than Hollywood magnates had expected.

An additional licensing deal tied to the firm’s publisher generated more than $500,000, according to the disclosure. 

The film earned $7 million in ticket sales across the US and Canada in just its opening weekend, making it the best-performing theatrical release for a documentary, outside of concert films, since 2012.

Amazon had paid an eye-watering $40 million for the rights, as well as an additional $35 million to market the movie.

The first lady also benefitted from more than $6 million in income from another licensing agreement covering non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and collectible products, while the president made royalties on his products.

Those include $4.7 million through a licensing agreement for Trump Watches with The Best Watches on Earth LLC and a deal related to the publication of The Greenwood Bible, a collaboration with God Bless the USA singer Lee Greenwood.

Another line in the financial disclosure showed Trump received a $200,000 speaking fee for a fundraising event in Naples, Florida, in December 2022.

It notes that the income from the watches and a separate sneakers-and-fragrances deal for which Trump earned over $67,000 were ‘inadvertently omitted’ from the president’s previous financial disclosure, as was the balance he was owed from the 2022 speaking event. 

The president further benefitted financially through the Trump Organization’s business dealings, the filing shows.

Trump reported more than $290 million in income related to revenue from his Mar-a-Lago estate; his Trump National Doral golf property; his club in Bedminster, New Jersey; and Trump National Washington DC.

Mar-a-Lago alone generated $77 million in ‘resort-related revenue’, according to the filing, up from $50 million in last year’s disclosure. 

At the same time, the president reported more than $86 million in settlements of legal disputes from media companies including ABC, CBS, Meta, YouTube and X.

To further bolster his net worth, the president also deployed a growth mindset with stocks in some major American companies.

One of his largest bursts of stock buying came on August 18, 2025, when Trump made three successive purchases of some of the largest names in technology – Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia – with each trade valued at between $5 million to $25 million.

The Nvidia purchase came exactly one week after Trump announced Nvidia and AMD had agreed to give the US government 15 per cent of their H20 chip sales to China in exchange for export approval.

Apple had also announced an additional $100 billion in US investments on August 6, bringing its total planned US commitment to $600 billion.

The filing also shows Trump purchased Amazon stock worth between $500,000 and $1 million on September 23 – the same day a trial began in a Seattle federal court for a lawsuit by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which alleged Amazon duped customers into paying for Prime membership.

The trial ended two days later, after Amazon agreed to pay a $1 billion civil penalty to the FTC and refunds totaling $1.5 billion to an estimated 35 million customers.

Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, though, has previously said the president has no ability to direct any of his trades.

President Trump also received gifts totaling more than $370,000 during his first year in office.

Many of the gifts were tickets to sporting events including ten tickets to the FIFA men’s World Cup worth $15,000 from FIFA President Gianni Infantino, ten Super Bowl tickets from New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson, 15 tickets each to two UFC events from CEO Dana White as well as a number of other tickets to MLB, NFL, NCAA and golf events.

A statue from Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino depicting the president with his fist raised following an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, was also worth $250,000.

But the president did report some liabilities as well, including his civil trial verdict judgments in favor of writer E Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in a New York City department store in the mid-1990s and of defaming her after she went public with the allegations in 2019.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear Trump’s appeal of a jury verdict awarding Carroll $5 million in the case.

In the meantime, Trump is also appealing another jury’s verdict, which awarded Carroll an $83.3 million judgment for defamation.

Along with the Trumps’ financial disclosure, the Ethics office also released Vice President JD Vance’s financial disclosure on Tuesday.

The report is much shorter, just 17 pages compared to the Trumps’ 927-page report, and details how the vice president earned income from his book, the firm Narya Capital – which he founded, the Rise of the Rest Seed Fund – where he served as a managing partner – and Bitcoin holdings valued at between $250,000 to $500,000.

In a statement to the Daily Mail, White House spokesman Anna Kelly emphasised that ‘neither the president nor his family has ever engaged – or will ever engage – in conflicts of interest. 

‘President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world through executive actions, supporting legislation like the GENIUS Act, and other commonsense policies to drive innovation and economic opportunity for all Americans,’ she noted. 

‘All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people – and any so-called “reporters” pushing otherwise are recycling the same, tired, false narrative that Democrats and the legacy media have been pushing for a decade.’

A spokesperson for the Trump Organization also said the disclosure ‘once again demonstrates that The Trump Organization continues to maintain a strong financial position, supported by world class, valuable assets, substantial liquidity and a conservative balance sheet.

‘Our debt remains incredibly low relative to the size and strength of our overall portfolio, reflecting an extremely underleveraged financial position. 

‘The breadth and depth of this filing further underscores our commitment to transparency,’ the spokesperson continued. ‘At nearly 1,000 pages, it represents one of the most comprehensive financial disclosure reports ever submitted and demonstrates a level of financial transparency unmatched in presidential history.’

Harry Kane celebrated his winning second goal against the Democratic Republic of Congo with a ferocity to match the magnitude of his feat.

Ripping at his shirt, he roared into the crowd with bared teeth and a primal glint in his eye – having hunted down his prize through brute tenacity.

But just minutes later, after the final whistle blew, England‘s embattled warrior retreated to the stands for an entirely more tender moment.

Sweet photos show the captain holding his two-year-old son Henry aloft and beaming with pride as he gazed into the toddler’s eyes.

He was also spotted debriefing with his wife, Katie Goodland, who no doubt was oozing with pride for her husband.

Harry later showed off his Man of the Match award to his children – with daughters Ivy, nine, and Vivienne, seven, and sons Louis, five, and Henry gathered around.

The whole Kane clan then grouped together for a photo, with all four kids miraculously coaxed to hold still for the camera.

Anthony Gordon, who came on as a sub in the 61st minute and went on to assist both of Kane’s goals, also shared a touching moment with his family.

He had kisses for his young son, also two-years-old, who wore an England kit with ‘Daddy’ on the back, and for his long-term partner Annie Keating. 

Jude Bellingham, who alongside Kane has been instrumental for the Three Lions in the competition, wrapped his arms around girlfriend Ashlyn Castro, 28.

The England number ten, who turned 23 on Tuesday, also gave his mother Denise a tight hug.

Bukayo Saka looked relaxed as he slung a leg over a chair and chatted to his fiancée, Tolami Benson, who he has been for more than five years.

He also threw his around mother Kemi’s shoulders, as she looked delighted.

Keeper Jordan Pickford, who managed to contain the damage to a single conceded goal in the seventh minute, sat down with his wife Megan Davison and family.

In the end, it was two goals from the captain that snatched victory from the jaws of looming humiliation against minnows the DR of Congo.

The African side dubbed The Leopards and ranked 35th in the world had spent most of the bad-tempered match thrashing the Three Lions 1-0.

The 2-1 victory sets up a round-of-16 crunch showdown against Mexico – in Mexico City, at their home stadium the Azteca, scene of Diego Maradona’s infamous ‘Hand of God’ goal.

It will be a seismic event unlike anything England has seen so far in this World Cup.

More than a million Mexico fans took to the streets when their team beat Ecuador earlier this week with four people dying during the wild celebrations.

Last night millions watched in agony at home along with tens of thousands in the Atlanta Stadium as Congo got their goal after just six minutes – then roared when saviour Kane turned the team’s fortunes. 

It was a nail-biting hour before his miracle rescued his sinking side with a sensational header to level the score. Then he blasted a second goal home minutes later.

On the final whistle, nerve-shredded fans went wild with excitement, belting out Wonderwall and ‘Football’s Coming Home’ in the vast air-conditioned stadium.

Retired Civil servant David Delves, 60, of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, said: ‘Kane is able! What a second goal that was. Unstoppable.’ 

Company director Michael Nobes, 64, from Portsmouth, added: ‘Crikey, they do put you through a lot of stress, I didn’t think my heart would hold out. Harry Kane, wow, just amazing – onto Mexico now.’

Supporter Mark Perkins, 45, from Liverpool, said: Harry came up with the goods again, he is Mr Dependable, Mexico in Mexico City will be a very different game, a lot harder.’

Glen Harris, 66, from Lincoln, said: ‘We are here now – and going all the way to the final. I have booked six weeks and want to see us win the World Cup.’

Dominic Webb, 34, a software designer of Swindon, Wiltshire, said: ‘I’ll be dancing on the ceiling tonight, just buzzing. 

‘My whole trip – and it’s cost absolutely thousands – has been, for me, about getting to Mexico. Playing against Mexico in Mexico is going to be a complete dream.’

The victory means England fans face a wallet-busting scramble for flights and tickets to the Mexican capital for Sunday night’s game, which will kick off at 1am on Monday UK time.

Hundreds of pubs are applying for ultra-late licences to show to allow punters to pull all-nighters, with the potential for a 4am finish if the game goes to extra time and penalties.

Employers are bracing for a ‘mass sickie event’ next Monday morning as bleary-eyed workers sleep off the match.

Boxpark venues in Croydon, Wembley, Liverpool, Camden and Shoreditch are among hundreds of venues to obtain temporary licence extensions to give drinkers lots of extra time.

Other venues face a ‘Mexican standoff’ with jobsworth council officials. Although ministers have given pubs free rein to allow drinkers extra time during the World Cup knockout stages, that does not apply to kick-offs as late at 1am.

Individual venues wishing to open that late must apply to their local licencing authorities for a Temporary Event Notice (TEN). 

Officials have the power to block pubs from serving so late, meaning a likely standoff in some areas where locals do not want the noise and hassle of an all-night party.

Emma McClarkin, CEO of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: ‘We remain in close contact with Government about concerns raised by publicans who want to show the match but haven’t got [temporary licences] in place. It would be a crying shame for fans and pubs if our locals weren’t able to host such an important match.’

There are no published figures for how many pubs have applied for a TEN, and most venues will be waiting for the outcome of the round-of-16 match against Congo on Wednesday before applying. 

But based on previous tournaments, it is likely that around 3,000 of the UK’s 46,000 pubs will ask to stay open late.

The first two-thirds of last night’s match were desperate for England. Fans had their heads in the hands after just six minutes when 28-year-old Congo winger Brian Cipenga sliced the ball past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

DRC fans – vastly outnumbered by England supporters – went wild, filling the stadium with noise and dancing and singing in the stands.

In a nightmare first half, Jude Bellingham got a yellow card for a poor tackle and captain Harry Kane was denied a penalty after being flattened on his way to the Congo goal. 

The DRC then almost got a second goal but hit the post, while shots on target by Bellingham and Kane were both saved by the Congo goalie.

The belated win was a relief for England’s sweating army of travelling supporters.

They had followed the team on a 5,000-mile odyssey, from their sensational first game in Dallas, beating Croatia 4-2, then the draw with Ghana in Boston and New York for the 2-0 defeat of Panama.

The round of 32 match between Belgium and Senegal was temporarily halted in the first half.

The World Cup match between Belgium and Senegal was temporarily halted as three protestors invaded the pitch. The disturbance saw security pursue the pitch invaders and eventually remove them from the playing area.

Those who entered the pitch are believed to be social media influencers. They ran onto the playing surface at the Seattle Stadium in the 31st minute of the match.

At one point, up to five security guards were chasing one individual, who was eventually stopped and caught after running off the pitch. The chase resulted in a few slips from the chasing security.

It’s reported that a further two people were apprehended before they could make their way onto the pitch.

Speaking during ITV’s commentary, main commentator Sam Matterface said: “We’ve got a social media prank which is going to cause a halt in play, and it is quite a dangerous situation because there are three or four young gentlemen who have decided to encroach on the pitch.

“They have been wrestled now, two of the three have. The third has evaded security staff, who are trying desperately to get hold of him. And eventually the protesters are removed.”

He then added: “It has created yet another interruption. We haven’t had too many of those at the World Cup. We had several didn’t we at the Euros a couple of years ago, people coming on desperate to get selfies with big-name players.”

Footage shown live on ITV cut away from the chase between the invaders and security and instead showed images of the players of both sides watching on as well as wider shots of the stadium.

After a short break, play got back underway quickly with a drop ball. Belgium were looking to score an equaliser before the half-time break, something which they failed to do.

At the time, Senegal were leading 1-0, thanks to Habib Diarra’s 24th-minute goal. The winners of the match will play either the USA or Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 16 on July 7.
