The documentary will also reportedly be supported by a three-part making-of docuseries about the documentary, which according to a representative at tienda online was filmed “during the 20 days before the inauguration, while she travels between New York City, Palm Beach, and Washington, D.C.” What will they call it? Melania and Melania are taken.
The rights to the documentary, on which Melania is credited as an executive producer, were bought for $40 million by Jeff Bezos in December 2024 before Trump took office, the Wall Street Journal reported. Sources with knowledge of the offer said that Melania will see some 70% of that fee.
In January, Melania told Fox News that the response to her book was so positive that people wanted to see more about her life.
“My life is incredible, it’s incredibly busy, and I told my agent, I have this idea so please, you know, go out and make a offer for me,” she said. The film, she said then, will be about her “day-to-day life, what I’m doing, what kind of responsibilities I have. It’s day to day, from transition team to moving to the White House, packing, establishing my team, the First Lady office, moving into the White House, what it takes to make the residence your home, to hire the people that you need.”
Representatives from the White House and Skyhorse Publishing did not immediately respond to Vanity Fair’s requests for comment.
