That’s $25,000,000 too much because it empowers the scumbags on the other end.
But that is Trump’s way sometimes. Pay them now or pay for litigation.
Note that the scumbag attorneys bringing suit have stated that they represent a class of more than 30,000. In reality, it is only a handful because most people get a postcard size notification in the mail announcing a class action and they toss it in the trash which means they are entered in the class because they must send a letter opting out. Most people are entered by default.
But still more than 30,000 will receive a settlement check. After lawyers and NY AG fines (if included), the class of 30,000+ might receive about $150 each at most because attorneys will claim about 30% of the settlement and the AG’s office may tack on millions in fines.

There were something like a a couple dozen actual litigant’s. I wonder if this settles all suits, or just the New York one.
