"It's not every day that a high-profile political influencer has to detail exactly how they make their money. But that's exactly what Nick Adams, a MAGA-aligned influencer and author, has done as he awaits Senate confirmation to become the US Ambassador to Malaysia under President Donald Trump. Adams describes himself online as an "alpha male" and is known for his occasionally crass humor. He is originally from Australia, where he was elected to local office in 2004."
"His financial disclosure, obtained this week by Business Insider, details various sources of income. The 29-page document covers his financial activity from the beginning of 2024 until June. His largest source of income that he disclosed during that period was from the Foundation for American Liberty and Greatness, a nonprofit organization that Adams founded in 2016. It promotes American civics content in K-12 schools. He was paid more than $380,000 during the reporting period."
"Adams' financial disclosure offers a rare look at the personal finances of a MAGA influencer. He disclosed around $47,000 from Cameo, the personalized video platform, in the last year and a half. Trump announced Adams's nomination in a Truth Social post on July 10, calling him an "incredible Patriot and very successful entrepreneur, whose love of, and devotion to, our Great Country is an inspiration." Adams did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment."
