$354,900,000 -- total disgorgement before interest
+$75,600,000 -- 9% interest on $168,000,000, dating to March 2019, for financial misstatements for loans from banks
+$19,800,000 -- 9% interest on $126,000,000, dating to May 2022, for imporper profits on the sale of his D.C. hotel
+$ 3,600,000 -- 9% interest on $60,000,000, dating to June 2023, for improper profits on the sale of Ferry Point golf course in N.Y.
That's $99 million in interest, bringing the total to $453.9 million in all.
($355 million and $364 million cited as the total owed in various news outlets' initial postings about today's judgement. Now I realize that the latter number includes the fines issued to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump ($4 million each) and to Allen Weisselberg ($1 million).)

In order for him to appeal, he will have to file a bond in that amount.
It's interesting that the daily interest was previously being reported as $87,000.Voronwë the Faithful wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 10:16 pm This really puts things into perspective.
[Tweet from Kyle Griffin: "The DAILY interest on Trump's fraud fine is $110,000."]
And my calculation of $453,900,000 for disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest was off by $256,783.
Two hundred fifty thousand dollars is a lot of money for most people, but in this case, it's less than one-tenth of one percent of the total.
