# Financial filing shows Melania Trump earned $10.71 million from Amazon film 2026-08-05T23:14:53+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk A financial disclosure put Melania Trump's earnings from an Amazon MGM documentary bearing her name at $10.71 million, The Economic Times reported. The film was made on a reported $75 million production and promotional budget yet brought in only about $16 million at the box office, a run that struggled in some international markets, and it was withdrawn from cinemas in South Africa. That same disclosure recorded close to $521,000 from her October 2024 memoir and upward of $6 million from non-fungible tokens and digital collectibles, taking her combined income across the three ventures past $17 million. The documentary received a 10% Rotten Tomatoes approval rating. Some lawmakers questioned whether the deal involved improper influence, a suggestion Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy and Melania Trump's office have both rejected. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The $10.71 million documentary payment, the roughly $521,000 memoir income and the more than $6 million in non-fungible token earnings all come from the financial disclosure itself. The commercial figures sit beside them: a reported $75 million production and promotional budget against about $16 million at the box office, and a 10% Rotten Tomatoes approval rating. The lawmakers' question about improper influence is an allegation, and Andy Jassy and Melania Trump's office have denied it. Any further move by those lawmakers, or a fuller answer from Jassy than the denial already given, would be the next development. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: Amazon MGM, Melania Trump Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/melania-trump-made-10-7m-from-amazon-docu/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
