Just In: It turns out that Donald Trump is a bit of a NFT mastermind! According to a filing with the US Office of Government Ethics, Trump earned between $100,000 and $1 million from sales of digital trading cards NFTs. The NFTs feature digital images of the 45th United States President in different caricatures.
Are Donald Trump NFTs Still Selling Hot?
The cards, sold by CIC Digital, were dubbed “Trump Cards”. They feature digital depictions of the former President in a variety of iconic poses and situations. These include Donald Trump the wrestling champion, holding a basketball, and even in space! The NFTs sold for $99 each, and a total of 45,000 were minted on the Polygon blockchain. All in all, the NFT project has reportedly made over $19 million in sales since inception.
Most recently, after news of his indictment, the card collection saw soaring sales. But wait, there’s more! Trump’s filing also revealed that he earned less than $200 from his Truth Social media platform. Moreover, compare this to his book earnings, he earned between $100,000 and $1 million from sales of his book “The Art of the Deal”. He also listed several mortgage liabilities in excess of $50 million each. All in all, Trump’s business holdings are estimated to be worth around $1.2 billion. Although Forbes estimates his current net worth to be over $2.5 billion.
The Trump NFT card collection seems to be on a rollercoaster since launch. Up and down the prices go, the fans still benefit from the digital cards. Love him or hate him, it seems that Trump has found yet another way to make a buck (or several million). This still begs the question of what is still fair game in the NFT industry. The Trump Cards may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but hey, at least they make for a unique conversation starter at parties!
