The sum was well over the $250 million that the attorney general, Letitia James, had estimated in the fall of 2022, when she sued Mr. Trump, accusing him of inflating his net worth to obtain favorable treatment from banks and insurers.
Next week, the lawyers will make closing arguments in front of the trial judge, Arthur F. Engoron, who has said he will try to issue a ruling on the case by the end of this month. Along with the steep financial penalty, Ms. James is asking that Mr. Trump be barred from participating in New York's real estate industry and from running any company in the state.
