Jeff Bezos' Amazon pays $40 million for Melania Trump documentary
Briefly

Jeff Bezos is using his media properties, such as Amazon's film and television studio, to build rapport with Donald Trump by financing a documentary about Melania Trump for $40 million.
The $40 million deal for the Melania Trump documentary includes not just the main film, but also a follow-up docuseries, stressing the strategic media engagement of Jeff Bezos.
Melania Trump will participate actively in the documentary directed by Brett Ratner, who hasn't directed since 2018 after facing multiple sexual assault allegations. Her trust in Ratner may reflect personal connections.
While it's uncertain how much Amazon is paying Melania Trump beyond the $40 million, speculation suggests she is also receiving a significant portion for her executive production role.
