Melania, via her agent, pitched the idea of an Amazon film about herself in which she’d not only star but also executive-produce, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The First Lady reportedly scooped up a huge paycheck of $40 million, which is said to be released on the streaming platform and in cinemas in ‘the second half of 2025′.
As well as a film, a docuseries of two or three episodes was also reported to be part of the deal.
Amazon said in a statement: « Prime Video will be sharing more details on the project as filming progresses and release plans are finalized. We are excited to share this truly unique story with our millions of customers around the world. »
However, what exactly the project entails or what it’s even called hasn’t been made clear yet.Tech and media companies’ settlement payouts
From X, Meta and YouTube to ABC News and Paramount, multiple companies have been forced to pay out to Trump.
The US president previously slammed Paramount for its editing of a 2024 Kamala Harris CBS interview, claiming it was to ‘tip the scales in favour of the Democratic party’.
Paramount agreed to pay the $16 million settlement, though they added: « The settlement does not include a statement of apology or regret. »
They also said that the money would be allocated to Trump’s future presidential library or any of his charitable causes, and wouldn’t be paid ‘directly or indirectly’ to him.
In response to a request for comment, WH spokesperson Taylor Rogers told UNILAD: « The media’s continued attempts to fabricate conflicts of interest are irresponsible and reinforce the public’s distrust in what they read.
« The President is and always has been motivated solely by what is best for the American people. »
