NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump says he doesn’t make much money from his social media network but estimates it’s worth between $5 million and $25 million, according to a personal financial disclosure form he filed Friday.
He owns about 90% of his social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, but says he earns less than $201 million.
He also reported that he made between $100,000 and $1 million for a series of digital trading cards released in December depicting Trump photographed in a series of cartoon-like images, including astronauts, cowboys and superheroes.
The report filed with the Federal Election Commission is the first look at Trump’s finances since he left the White House and launched several new business ventures.
The real estate mogul and reality TV star launched the Truth Social platform in 2022, a year after being banned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube following the January 6, 2021 uprising at the US Capitol.
Although Trump has been allowed to return to the social media network, he relies on Truth Social as the main way to share his message with his supporters, especially since he has launched his 2024 presidential campaign.
The disclosure provides limited information because it only reports income in a broad range. That makes it difficult to tell how Trump’s biggest assets and businesses have fared since he left office because the disclosures he must file when he’s president include specific income figures rather than ranges.
In his latest disclosure, for example, Trump reported that his Washington, DC golf club earned more than $5 million. In 2020, he’s hit a fine point: $14.2 million.
CIC Digital LLC, a company that owns digital trading cards NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are worth between $500,000 and $1 million, according to the report.
Trump also reported that he earned more than $5 million in speaking fees.
All federal candidates must file a disclosure after announcing their candidacy. Trump, a Republican, has been granted an extension and risks fines for further delays.
