Melania Trump is offering a collector’s edition of her memoir for $250, a staggering 525 percent increase from the original price. According to Melania, this “premium version” features a signed copy from the former First Lady, a ‘digital collectible,’ and several exclusive photographs, including a shot from her first date with Donald Trump and candid moments from his presidency.
This collector’s edition marks the third release of her memoir, which was published earlier this month. The 182-page book already contains 31 pages of photos, strategically placed in the middle of the text.
In a reflection shared with Fox News Digital, Melania described her first date with Trump as “an enjoyable and memorable evening.” She also provided a glimpse of the exclusive content, sharing her own photographs, such as one of Marine One landing on the White House lawn and another of a bouquet in the West Wing.
The collector’s edition boasts a luxurious presentation, printed on premium art paper with custom white binding, black foil accents, and a ribbon marker. Unlike the original black matte cover, this version features a white cover.
In addition to the photographs, buyers receive a “digital collectible”—a unique or limited virtual item. Melania has previously ventured into digital collectibles, having sold artistic renderings of herself.
Though she remains mostly out of the public eye, Melania has a history of leveraging her brand to market various products, including Christmas ornaments and jewelry.
Her memoir, while revealing little about her personal life or marriage to Trump, offers insights into her experiences. Readers learn about her first meeting with Trump at a New York City club, her deep love for her son Barron, and her stance on abortion rights. Reflecting on the memoir’s creation, she described it as “an amazing journey filled with emotional highs and lows.”

However, critical reception has been mixed, with outlets like The New York Times likening her narrative style to a “souvenir tea towel,” while Vanity Fair deemed it “truly bad” and “deeply weird,” according to The Telegraph.
