Supreme Court justices recently released their annual financial disclosures, revealing various sources of income and gifts. Justice Sonia Sotomayor reported receiving concert tickets valued at $4,333 from Puerto Rican record label Rimas Entertainment, which represents artists including Bad Bunny.
Book Payments and Teaching Income
Several justices earned significant amounts from book deals, including Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who received a $1.18 million book advance from Penguin Random House. Justice Amy Coney Barrett earned $849,071 in royalties from her 2025 book. Justices also reported income from teaching positions, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Justice Barrett each earning $33,285 for teaching at the University of Notre Dame Law School.
The financial disclosure reports have come under increasing public scrutiny in recent years, prompting calls for greater transparency and stricter oversight of the Supreme Court. The reports cover activity in 2025 for eight of the nine justices, with Justice Samuel Alito receiving a 90-day extension to file his disclosure.
