Like many personalities, Melania has shown a keen interest in NFTs. Previously, Melania debuted an NFT “Head of State Collection” which was sold for $180,000; later revealed to be bought by her.

This time, she is attempting again by dropping NFTs to fund scholarships for foster children. The NFT collection will be launched via USA Memorabilia on the Solana blockchain.

According to Melania, “The Christmas Star” is a limited edition of Christmas ornaments based on the theme of hope embodied by the handcrafted star. The NFTs will be animated versions of this star.

“My hope is for families across the world to use The Christmas Star ornament to inspire their loved ones with positive purpose, aspirations, and values as we enter the new year,” she said.

Each brass ornament features Melania Trump’s signature and is exclusively available for the 2022 Christmas Season for $35-$45. A part of the proceeds will go to the foster children community.
