Soaring Revenue at Mar-a-Lago Shows How Trump’s Business Interests and Politics Intersect
Ethics filings show revenue rose 55% from the previous year as campaign activity and presidential visits drove more business at the private club.
- An ethics disclosure released yesterday revealed that Mar-a-Lago generated a record nearly $77.5 million in revenue during 2025, marking more than 50% growth over the previous year.
- President Donald Trump supercharged earnings by raising membership initiation fees to $1 million shortly before his reelection, while the club became a frequent destination for Republican fundraising galas.
- Income at Trump National Doral reached about $122 million in 2025, with dozens of federal political committees paying to host events at both properties since the president returned to office.
- Public Citizen co-president Robert Weissman alleged members seek "proximity to the president," though White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly stated neither the president nor his family has engaged in conflicts of interest.
- Financial disclosures show resort income is now eclipsed by more than $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency ventures, including World Liberty Financial and $TRUMP memecoin co-founded by Trump's sons.
