Eight of nine U.S. Supreme Court justices have released their 2025 financial disclosure statements. According to SCOTUSblog, the disclosures are relatively opaque and are intended to provide information about potential conflicts of interest and the justices’ compliance with ethical standards, rather than snapshots of the justices’ wealth. Justice Sonia Sotomayor received concert tickets valued at more than $4,000 from the record company that represents the Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny. Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh earned $33,285 by teaching at Notre Dame Law School, while Chief Justice John Roberts earned $25,000 for teaching at New England Law School. Justice Elena Kagan traveled to judge a moot court at Pepperdine University’s Caruso School of Law in September 2025, and several justices reported overseas travel. The ABA Journal also reports on the disclosures.
