Summary
Eight justices' 2025 financial disclosures showed more than $2.4 million in book income, with Ketanji Brown Jackson collecting $1.18 million last year and overtaking Sonia Sotomayor in cumulative post-confirmation earnings.
Jackson's total reached $4.14 million versus Sotomayor's $4.06 million; Amy Coney Barrett added $849,072 from a second tranche of her advance, and Neil Gorsuch earned $300,361.
Sotomayor's filing also appeared to show $4,333 in free Bad Bunny concert tickets for her and guests, while the report said one gift above the disclosure threshold was omitted.
The disclosures renewed ethics questions around lucrative book deals, gifts and travel, with Fix the Court arguing seven-figure advances can pressure justices to promote books before ideologically aligned audiences.
Samuel Alito again received an extension on his filing, leaving any 2025 income from his forthcoming book undisclosed for now; only Chief Justice John Roberts reported owning individual stocks.
