Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have filed their final financial disclosure forms (known as OGE 278e), covering their non-governmental income for 2020 and the first few weeks of 2021. Both give a glimpse into their financial situation and potential conflicts of interest that they had while working in the White House.

Ivanka’s forms disclose the following:

She earned $1,463,449 from the Trump hotel in the Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C.

Other Trump real estate projects generated over $1.1 million.

There was no revenue from her clothing and consumer brands, which is not surprising as they were shut down in 2018.

She does not receive royalties from her books.

Her savings are held in a handful of Fidelity mutual funds.

1. "She earned $1,463,449". Earned? I'm surprised her dad gives away that much money to her.

I bet that dries up in a hurry.

2. How did she earn that?

She was working at the WH.

3. She has an ownership position in the Trump Org.

And they pay out money, probably based on earnings but it might also be contractual, to those people.

Earnings are somewhat illusionary though. That's only what companies pay people directly, and when you're rich, you don't really need that money paid to you directly. Look at Michael Dell and Steve Jobs, they were famous for only taking a $1 salary from Dell and Apple respectively. Yet they were also compensated in shares / options, and other benefits (like flight benefits), that grossly underrepresented their income.

I guess overcharging all those donors and lobbyists paid off.
