Vance’s financial disclosure reveals book revenue, crypto holdings
The New York Times estimates his earnings at $1.4 million to $7.4 million, with book royalties as the largest share.
Vice President J.D. Vance's latest federal financial disclosure reveals a multi-million dollar fortune driven by massive media earnings and venture capital returns.
The bulk of Vance's 2025 income came from his bestselling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, with royalties from HarperCollins generating the majority of his $7.4 million in earnings for the year.
The filing confirms Vance holds between $250,001 and $500,000 in Bitcoin, keeping the digital asset in a single account managed by Coinbase.
His cryptocurrency holdings have roughly doubled since his 2022 disclosures, pointing to either significant asset appreciation or aggressive new accumulation.
Vance’s highly streamlined 17-page report stands in stark contrast to Donald Trump's massive 927-page disclosure, with the Vice President reporting just 10 major financial transactions for 2025, primarily focused on market-linked index ETFs and his Narya venture capital investments.
