According to a personal financial disclosure released this week by the Federal Election Commission, Trump has taken in more than $200 million from his golf clubs alone in the past 18 months, with Trump National Doral Miami bringing in the most, at $49 million.
According to a personal financial disclosure released this week by the Federal Election Commission, Donald Trump makes hundreds of millions off the golf courses he owns worldwide, the Washington, D.C.-based National Journal reported.
In the last 18 months, Trump has taken in more than $200 million in “golf related revenue” from 15 of his 16 golf courses (his course in Dubai didn’t appear to bring him any income). That figure, according to Trump, is part of a larger net worth of $10 billion. The reports shows exactly how much money Trump has taken in from each course location, but the commission isn’t tasked with fact-checking any of his estimates, the Journal reported.
Trump National Doral Miami raked in the most money: $49 million in “golf resort related revenue.” (The revenue isn’t broken down into specific categories, but one can assume it makes so much money because it comprises courses and a hotel.) By contrast, resort-less courses in New York’s Hudson Valley and in Aberdeen, Scotland, aren’t quite as lucrative, bringing him about $4 million, the Journal reported.
Trump’s D.C. golf course, which he promoted in a press conference a week after his presidential announcement, brought in $14 million. Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles brought in about the same amount—$13 million, the Journal reported.
C&RB included Trump National Golf Club – Bedminster (N.J.) as the January 2015 cover feature (“You’re Hired!”). In that story, C&RB reported that Trump National GC – Bedminster made $4 million on revenues of $16 million in 2014, and that the club expected 2015 to be even better because of the recent expansion of their food-and-beverage operation, which accounted for $4 million in revenues in 2014.
