Melania Trump made over ten million dollars from her Amazon commercial.

The article reports that Melania Trump earned over $10.7 million from her Amazon documentary film 'Melania,' which premiered at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., in January 2026. Despite initial negative reviews and low turnout in major cities, the film performed well in rural areas, particularly among older women, grossing $16.7 million worldwide. The production cost was high, with Amazon MGM Studios spending $40 million on production and an additional $35 million on marketing. While the film's success was notable, especially compared to typical documentaries, the article highlights that Melania personally profited $28 million from the sale of film rights, with further earnings reported from book sales and NFTs. Although these earnings are significant, they pale in comparison to Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency-related income of over $1.4 billion.
