Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor disclosed receiving $4,333 worth of concert tickets from Rimas Entertainment, the Puerto Rican record label that represents superstar Bad Bunny, as part of the latest round of Supreme Court financial disclosure reports.
The tickets were for Sotomayor and an unspecified number of guests during a private trip she took to Puerto Rico in August.
Sotomayor, the first justice of Puerto Rican descent, noted in her filing that the gift came from the label while she was traveling privately, though she did not specify which concert she attended.
At the time, Bad Bunny was in the middle of a major residency that included more than 30 sold-out shows in San Juan.
These 2025 financial disclosures, which cover outside income, gifts, and other interests for eight of the nine justices, are required annually under federal ethics rules.
Justice Samuel Alito was granted a 90-day extension and has not yet filed.
While Sotomayor’s concert tickets stand out as the most eye-catching gift in the current reports, the filings also show substantial outside earnings for several other justices, primarily from book deals and teaching positions.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson reported a $1.18 million book advance from Penguin Random House for her memoir, following nearly $2.07 million in advances from the same publisher the previous year.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett disclosed more than $849,000 in royalties from her 2025 book.
Justice Neil Gorsuch reported over $300,000 in book royalties, and smaller teaching stipends appeared for Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and Justice Clarence Thomas.
Sotomayor also listed nearly $88,100 in royalties from Penguin Random House tied to her children’s books, along with additional promotional spending by the publisher on one of her titles.
