Kushner, Trump income topped $81 million in 2017

WASHINGTON – Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner may be working as unpaid White House advisers, but the couple aren’t doing too badly with their side gigs, bringing in at least $81 million of outside income.

Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and a top White House aide, pulled in at least $69 million in income last year, much of it from his family’s far-flung real estate empire, financial disclosure forms filed Monday show.

Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and senior adviser, reported making more than $12 million last year from companies where she held a position, according to her financial disclosure form.

That income included $3.9 million from the Trump International Hotel located in Washington and $2 million in salary and severance from the Trump Organization.

Ivanka Trump and Kushner resigned positions with their companies to take on unpaid roles in her father’s administration, but the disclosure shows how they continue to benefit from outside ventures.

Kushner’s income, for instance, included more than $6 million from Quail Ridge, a Plainsboro, New Jersey, apartment complex the Kushner company, now run by his relatives, acquired last year.

While Kushner has dropped some of his stake in his family’s real estate business, he still receives income from trusts invested in Kushner real estate ventures.
