Justice Sonia Sotomayor reported receiving $4,333 in concert tickets from Rimas Entertainment, the label tied to Bad Bunny, in her 2025 financial disclosure. The filing put a private gift inside the Supreme Court’s annual ethics reporting system just as the justices’ new disclosures became public on Monday.
The disclosure says the tickets were for “a concert for me and guests while I was on a private trip to Puerto Rico in August 2025.” Sotomayor’s filing also shows that the gift was part of the same batch of financial disclosures that covered outside income, book advances and teaching pay across the court.
Sotomayor and Jackson gifts
Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson were the only justices to report gifts in the 2025 filings. Jackson reported a painting for her chambers valued at $2,500, a much smaller figure than Sotomayor’s ticket total but still a direct gift entry in the same ethics paperwork.
The disclosures are meant to show compliance with financial reporting rules, not just income totals. In practice, they map where justices accept outside value, which is why a $4,333 ticket package from Rimas Entertainment in a Bad Bunny-linked setting stands out alongside the rest of the forms.
Bad Bunny in San Juan
Bad Bunny played 31 sold-out shows in San Juan between July and September 2025, the run that supplies the clearest context for Sotomayor’s ticket disclosure. In a September 2025 story about the Super Bowl in February announcement, Sotomayor was noted as having attended one of his Puerto Rico concerts. That is the public thread that connects the filing to the label and to the artist.
Bad Bunny London Stadium Performance showed how quickly his live dates move across markets, and the San Juan run did the same work at home: it created the concert inventory that fed the disclosure trail. The paperwork does not identify which performance Sotomayor attended.
Monday disclosure dump
Financial disclosure forms for eight of the nine justices became available at noon EDT on Monday, and the forms were due on May 15. Federal judges and justices can receive extensions of up to 90 days, which is why the filings can arrive in waves rather than all at once.
Samuel Alito’s forms were not yet available online when the other filings landed. The delay leaves one blank in a release that also showed Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh each earned $33,285 teaching at Notre Dame Law School, Neil Gorsuch received $30,379.91 for teaching in Prague for George Mason University, John Roberts earned $25,000 at New England Law School, Clarence Thomas earned $18,000 at Catholic University of America’s Columbus School of Law, Barrett reported nearly $850,000 in publication and copyright royalties, Gorsuch reported $300,000 from HarperCollins and $361.47 from Princeton University Press, and Sotomayor reported $88,100 from Penguin Random House.
Bad Bunny London 2026 sell out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium fits the same commercial pattern: when Bad Bunny moves tickets, the paper trail follows. For Sotomayor, that trail now sits in the public record, and it is the ticket gift that will draw the closest ethics read.
