Donald Trump, the former U.S. president, collected a pension of $77,808 last year, according to financial news outlet Yahoo Finance. This payment, equivalent to about 100 million South Korean won, comes from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), despite Trump having left the union years ago.
Trump became eligible for SAG pension benefits in 1992. Coincidentally, this was the same year he appeared in a cameo role in the film 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.' The report also noted that he received an additional $8,724 annually from the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), a union he joined in 1989.
The pension payments highlight a lesser-known aspect of the former president's financial dealings, stemming from his past entertainment industry involvement.
