US Vice President JD Vance's latest annual financial disclosure shows his bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy remained his biggest private source of income, generating between $1 million and $5 million in royalties during the reporting period, alongside continuing earnings from foreign publishing rights, venture capital investments and a diversified investment portfolio.

The annual disclosure, filed with the US Office of Government Ethics, provides the first detailed picture of Vance's personal finances since he assumed office as Vice President in January 2025. Unlike President Donald Trump's disclosure, which was dominated by cryptocurrency and real estate businesses, Vance's filing is centred on publishing income, venture capital interests and traditional investment holdings.
