First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, entered into a $ 40 million agreement with Jeff Bezos’s Amazon to deliver a documentary about her life. The documentary, which will be released on Amazon Prime video, will give a look at her life during her husband Donald Trump’s expected return as president. Melania Trump concluded the agreement with Amazon in December 2024 during a dinner with Donald Trump, Jeff Bezos and his fiancé Lauren Sanchez, according to a report by Wall Street Journal. Dinner to seal an agreement of $ 40 million dollars according to the Wall Street Journal report, in December 2024, when Donald Trump, Melania Trump, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez met in Mar-a-Lago in 2024, there was a lot at stake for the first lady. At the time, she was looking for a buyer of her documentary who would chronicle her transition as the first lady of us, with her agent pitching the film to various studios, including Amazon. Melania Trump’s agent later also tried to sell ‘sponsorships’ for the film with a starting $ 10 million to prominent CEOs and billionaires at Donald Trump’s inauguration. A week after Melania’s dinner with the Bezos couple, Amazon agreed to pay $ 40 million for the licensing of her film, in a fairly solid amount for a company proud of the negotiation of transactions. According to WSJ, it was the most Amazon ever spent on a documentary and almost three times the nearest offer. What is more surprising is the fact that Netflix and Apple refused to even bid for the film. Paramount reportedly made an offer of $ 4 million for distribution rights and Disney offered $ 14 million. “We have the upcoming Melania Trump documentary film and series licensed for one reason and only one reason -because we think customers will like it,” Amazon spokeswoman said through WSJ. According to the report, Melania Trump will receive more than 70 percent of the $ 40 million. This means a compensation of about $ 28 million. Melania Trump documentary Amazon said in a statement that the Melania Trump documentary will give viewers an “unprecedented look behind the scenes” at Melania Trump and also promised a “truly unique story”. The documentary, directed by Brett Ratner, will see an exemption in the middle of 2025. Melania Trump will be the executive producer. In an interview with Fox & Friends, Melania said the documentary would chronicle her daily life. “It’s day-to-day, from transition team to packaging, to establish my team, the First Lady Office, to move into the White House, what is needed to make the hostel at your home, to rent the people you need,” she said. According to a report from Times or India, the documentary may also be a short follow -up. First published: 13 Apr 2025, 06:16 pm Ist
