On Tuesday, the US Office of Government Ethics published a certified annual financial disclosure report for President Donald Trump, which included Melania's earnings, revealing she made $10.71 million off the documentary.

The film was produced by Amazon MGM, which spent an astounding $75 million to make and promote it.

But Americans appeared uninterested in the project, as it only garnered $16 million at the box office and was widely panned by critics, with many labeling it as "propaganda."

President Trump and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos have both been repeatedly pressed on whether the project was an effort by the company to buy the president's favor, but both have denied having any part in the production.

Despite their dismissal, Amazon appears intent on working with the Trumps, as they have recently been considering relaunching The Apprentice with Donald Trump Jr. as the star.

Throughout his time in politics, President Trump and his family have faced heavy criticism for profiting from his time in office.

In his second term, the president has sold gold cell phones, guitars, and meme coins, with Melania joining in on some of the ventures.

The financial report also revealed Melania made approximately $521,000 from a memoir she published right before her husband's reelection, and over $6 million from NFTs and "other collectibles."
