Trump's finances revealed

Details about Donald Trump's personal financial dealing have been released by the US Federal Election Commission.

The government has released Donald Trump's personal financial documents filed with the Federal Election Commission, describing the billionaire's assets and revenues and his roles with hundreds of corporate shell companies.

Among the companies were ones that operate his golf courses, restaurants, wineries and Florida estate.

According to the presumptive Republican presidential candidate, revenue at his businesses grew by $US190 million ($A259 million) over the past 17 months, and he had $US557 million in earned income.

Revenues at many of his golf courses appear to be up.

The form provides little evidence that Trump's combative campaign has harmed his business prospects.

Though the disclosure overlaps with one he filed last year - making straight comparisons difficult - revenues at Trump's golf courses for the 17 months covered in the report generally rose.

Most increases were modest, with the exception of Trump National Doral in Florida.

Since his last filing, Trump reported $US82 million in additional revenue at that golf resort, which he values at more than $US50 million.

Last summer, Trump reported $US49.4 million in golf resort revenues, but in his latest filing that number grew to $US131.9 million.

The filing also discloses changes in Trump's role within his shell companies.

Trump resigned from various entities doing business in potentially sensitive locations.

Trump resigned from a company linked to a failed real estate project south of Tijuana, Mexico, as well as companies tied to deals in Dubai in the United Emirates, and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
