Judge Thomas revealed two 2019 trips paid for by Harlan Crow.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has revealed for the first time that visits to Bali and a private club in California in 2019 were paid for by his friend and benefactor, Texas billionaire Harlan Crow, it has been revealed. Finances were released Friday for eight of the nine justices.
The required annual reports, which include activity in 2023, show that three justices — Brett M. Kavanaugh, Neil M. Gorsuch and Ketanji Brown Jackson — received six-figure book payments.

Jackson also accepted four tickets worth nearly $4,000 from Beyoncé for one of her concerts and two works of art worth $12,500 to display in the justice's chambers.

"Justice Jackson is 'Crazy in Love' with music by Beyoncé. Who isn't?" said court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe.
Judge Sonia Sotomayor reported a star turned cartoon character on the PBS children's show "Alma's Way," an animated series about a Puerto Rican girl and her family from the Bronx. Justice was paid about $1,900 for voiceover work in an episode in which she played herself.

Reports show that some judges supplement their income from teaching at law schools and accepting free travel to speak at events at universities and legal organizations.
