In a new filing Friday, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas disclosed additional luxury vacations funded by Republican megadonor and real-estate tycoon Harlan Crow.
Other justices reported receiving Beyoncé tickets and hundreds of thousands of dollars in book royalties.
Supreme Court justices annually report income and gifts received on top of their salaries, which are currently around the $300,000 mark.
The concert tickets, worth $3,711.84, were reported as gifts from the music superstar to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Jackson also disclosed an $893,750 book advance and $12,500 in free artwork for her chambers.
Thomas, meanwhile, amended his 2019 disclosures to include visits to Bali, Indonesia and Monte Rio, Calif., paid for by Crow. Thomas did not disclose the value of those two trips.
The justice has long received scrutiny for his failure to disclose large gifts, including years of private-school tuition, a house in Georgia for his mother, and numerous trips, all coming from Crow.
Other justices reported large earnings from book royalties: Justice Sonia Sotomayor made almost $90,000, Justice Neil Gorsuch earned over $250,000, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh reported $340,000.
