Melania Trump cashed in big on her documentary ... even though moviegoers mostly stayed home [View all]

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/01/melania-trump-payday-from-amazon-documentary-revealed/

The First Lady's Amazon-backed documentary "Melania" turned into a massive payday for her ... with President Trump's newly released annual financial disclosure revealing Melania personally pocketed $10.71 million from the project.

That's an eye-popping haul considering the film reportedly brought in only about $16 million at the worldwide box office -- meaning FLOTUS' payday alone topped half of the movie's total ticket sales.

The filing also shows she earned roughly $521,000 from her memoir ... along with more than $6 million from NFTs and other collectibles.
