Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor received concert tickets valued at more than $4,000 from Rimas Entertainment, the Puerto Rican record label representing global superstar Bad Bunny, according to her annual financial disclosure report released Monday.
The disclosure, which covers the 2025 calendar year, shows Sotomayor received $4,333 in tickets from Rimas Entertainment for a concert and guests during a private trip to Puerto Rico in August 2025. Bad Bunny was performing a series of shows on the island at that time, though the report does not specify which exact concert she attended.
The revelation comes as part of the annual financial reports from Supreme Court justices and other federal judges, made public just hours after the high court issued several major rulings in its current term. Collectively, the justices reported over $2 million in book-related income, including advances and royalties.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson reported $1.2 million in book advance revenue from Penguin Random House for her memoir Lovely One, published in 2024, and a subsequent young adult version. Justice Amy Coney Barrett disclosed nearly $850,000 in revenue from Javelin Group for her book Listening to the Law. Justice Neil Gorsuch reported $300,000 in royalty income from HarperCollins for a children’s book about the Declaration of Independence.
Supreme Court justices, who earn over $300,000 annually, are limited to about $30,000 in outside income per year, but book revenue is exempt from that cap. Conservative Justice Samuel Alito requested additional time to file his report, as has been his practice.
The reports also detail travel expenses: Barrett traveled to London for a legal theory workshop funded by the University of Notre Dame Law School, and Gorsuch visited Prague for an educational program sponsored by George Mason University.
A court spokesperson did not respond to questions about Sotomayor’s report, which underscores the limited detail available in such disclosures.
