First Lady Melania Trump will leave at least $ 28 million as part of her $ 40 million agreement with Amazon e -commerce giant to license a documentary film about her life, according to a report.
Trump, which will receive over 70% of the agreement revenue, has also been a sponsorship agreement for the film, reported the Wall Street Journal.
The first lady is also reported to have told CEOs with blue chip that participated in her husband’s inauguration on January 20 that they will have to raise at least $ 10 million in exchange for admission at the end of film loans.
As a bonus, CEOs who agree to pay for sponsorship will receive an invitation to the Prime Minister of the documentary, according to the newspaper.
Amazon’s First Lady’s deal joined shortly after company founder Jeff Bezos traveled to Mar-a-Lago in December to dinner with her husband-which weeks ago shocked his Democratic opponent, former Vice-President Kamala Harris, in the November 5 elections.
According to the newspaper, the First Lady was inclined to convince Bezos, the founder of Amazon and the owner of the Washington Post who historically had a relationship full of president to buy the rights of the documentary.
Weeks ago, Bezos had blocked the traditionally editorial board of his Democratic newspaper supported by the publication of Harris’s approval.
He later pledged $ 1m for Trump’s inaugural fund,
Eager to sharpen her sales tar, Melania Trump reportedly recorded the help of Brett Ratner, the director and Hollywood manufacturer known for hits including the “Hour Hour” trilogy, as well as his involvement with “Red Dragon “and” X-Men: Last Attitude “.
Ratner has kept a low profile in Hollywood after being charged with sexual behavior during the #METOO era.
At the Mar-a-Lago dinner on December 18, which included Trump, as well as Bezos and his fiancé, Lauren Sanchez, the first lady “arranged” her guests with details about the documentary film, Journal reported.
About two weeks later, Amazon announced that he would broadcast the film on his Prime Video service.
The magazine reported that the $ 40 million was mostly Amazon had ever spent in a documentary – an amount that was three times more than the nearest competitive offers, according to the newspaper.
Paramount, CBS’s parent company, did what the magazine described as a $ 4 million “low” offer while Disney presented a more respectful $ 14 million offer, according to the report.
Netflix and Apple refused to make offer, the newspaper reported.
“We licensed the next film and the next documentary series Melania Trump for a reason and a reason only – because we think customers will love it,” Amazon’s spokesman told The Journal.
The post has requested comment from the White House, Amazon and Bezos.
The lucrative documentary deal is part of a wider financial decline for the Trump family since Trump’s return to the White House.
In total, businesses have run about $ 80 million for Trump and Trump’s presidential library, including settlements from lawsuits the president had previously filed against the corporations.
Meta filed a lawsuit with Trump for $ 25 million.
Similarly, ABC News paid $ 15 million to resolve a defamation lawsuit, and Elon Musk’s X agreed to a $ 10 million deal.
Paramount is reported to be in talks with the president’s lawyers about a solution to a lawsuit filed with a “60 -minute” interview with Harris claiming Trump had been edited with fraudulent purposes.
Trump’s financial agreements have attracted criticism of their unprecedented degree.
The ethics defender argues that Trump is using his office for more aggressive financial benefits than in his first term.
