My understanding is that it must be paid in 30 days or, if he wants to appeal it, put into a trust or something. Effectively, removing his access to the money until the appeal is resolved.
Trump has a few options in paying the court. He could pay up everything that he owes now in cash. Or he could try to get an appeal bond, meaning he wouldn’t have to pay all the cash up front in exchange for a premium and putting up collateral.
Trump could be required to deposit his portion of the full judgment plus interest during an appeal. Trump could also post a smaller amount with collateral and interest by securing a type of loan called an appeal bond. But he may have trouble finding a willing lender after Engoron found he lied to banks about his wealth.

Do you have a source on that? If true, that would be delicious.
I sadly can’t find tje article that mentioned the 30 days to pay. Regardless, in order to appeal he needs to provide the court money.

What happens if he doesn’t pay?
I really want him to pay, but his previous behaviour makes me think he just won’t.
And there’s a limit to what anyone else can do about that.
