Pam Bondi’s wealth sharply increased after she left her position as Florida attorney general. Financial disclosures show her assets grew well beyond the approximately $1.5 million that Forbes reported she had near the end of her term in 2019.
By the time she joined the Trump administration, ProPublica found her federal disclosure listed her reported asset values between $3.7 million and $16 million. ABC News reported that Bondi and her spouse together disclosed a net worth of up to $20 million.
The filings indicate that her income after leaving Florida came from lobbying, consulting, legal work, and investments. Reuters reported that Bondi revealed earning $1.06 million from Ballard Partners, the lobbying firm where she worked after leaving public office.
She also reported $520,000 in consulting fees from the America First Policy Institute and $203,738 from the Fort Lauderdale law firm Panza, Maurer, & Maynard. ProPublica’s database lists these roles as her outside positions before she joined the Justice Department.
Over the next month I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration.…

Her disclosure included significant assets beyond her professional income. ABC News noted that Bondi disclosed rental income between $110,003 and $1 million from commercial real estate in Florida. Much of her family’s wealth connected to commercial properties in Florida and South Carolina.
ProPublica also found that her filing listed a receivable valued between $500,000 and $1 million for consulting services, along with other receivables related to legal work.
One of the largest increases came from Trump Media. ABC News reported that Bondi received about $3 million in shares and warrants through a Puerto Rico-based LLC associated with the merger that created Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social.
Bloomberg Law separately noted that nearly $3 million of her disclosed wealth was in Trump Media shares, and her total net worth was around $12.2 million at the time of her nomination. ProPublica later reported that Bondi sold between $1 million and $5 million in Trump Media stock on April 2, 2025.
Under AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ became a cesspool of corruption.
Bondi will be remembered for blocking the release of the Epstein files, weaponizing the DOJ to go after Trump’s political opponents, and handing out merger approvals as political favors.

Bondi, 60, served as Florida attorney general from 2011 to 2019 and later became a prominent legal and political ally of Donald Trump. During her January 2025 confirmation hearing, she assured senators that there would not be an enemies list within the Department of Justice.
She stated, “I will not politicize that office. I will not target people simply because of their political affiliation.” Reuters reported she was confirmed after revealing significant private-sector earnings from the year before her nomination.
Her finances are again in the spotlight after Trump removed her from her attorney general role on April 2, 2026. In a Truth Social post quoted by multiple outlets, Trump announced that Bondi “will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector,” while appointing Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as acting attorney general.
Bondi later expressed that she was “thrilled” about “moving to an important private sector role.” This next step will attract attention not just because of her political connections, but also due to the significant increase in her wealth since she left office in Florida.
