Trump Media granted Linda McMahon, then Trump's nominee for Education Secretary and a company director, 25,946 restricted stock units on January 28, 2025, valued at $779,418 at grant. A quarter vested immediately; CNBC put the paper value of the vested shares at nearly $195,000. She resigned from the board in 2025 and forfeited the rest.

Counts only the vested quarter, at CNBC's valuation ("nearly $195,000"), because the proxy says she forfeited future equity on resigning. The full grant-date value was $779,418. Her 2024 cash board fees ($55,200) were earned for 2024 service and are not counted.
