Barron Trump, now a sophomore at Stern Business School, has returned to Washington to be with his parents at the White House. Though still a student, Barron’s financial future appears secure, with a new Forbes report revealing his substantial wealth.
The Trump family has never had financial concerns. During his second term as President, Donald and Melania ventured into cryptocurrency, despite criticism from experts. In a family deeply invested in crypto, Donald disclosed last year that Barron is no exception.
Donald shared in September last year, “Barron is young but very knowledgeable about crypto. He often discusses his wallets—he has four—and it leaves me puzzled, asking, ‘What is a wallet?’”
Donald Trump reportedly made a billion dollars in cryptocurrency, and it’s likely that Barron has also achieved multimillionaire status through it. According to Forbes, the Trump family’s business, World Liberty Financial, mentioned Barron as a “web3 ambassador” in their “gold paper,” aligning him alongside Donald Jr. and Eric, also listed as co-founders.
A recent financial disclosure report on their site shows Donald owns a 52.5% share, while a family member owns another 22.5%.
Forbes suggests that if the remaining shares are split among Don Jr., Eric, and Barron, they’d each receive 7.5%. With the venture selling tokens for at least $550 million, Barron and his brothers might have gained approximately $39 million each.
Barron Trump’s Impressive $150 Million Net Worth
Barron won’t see all this money immediately. The IRS will claim its portion, which Yahoo Finance estimates to be around $15 million.
While $39 million is a substantial amount, it pales in comparison to reports of Barron’s actual net worth. A recent Forbes piece suggests that Barron Trump, Donald’s youngest, has earned even more from cryptocurrency.
According to the September 22 article, Barron was committed to crypto before his father. As of now, the 19-year-old reportedly has a net worth of about $150 million.
Forbes writes, “The 19-year-old NYU sophomore has accrued an estimated $80 million from token sales and retains about 2.3 billion tokens still locked up. Though currently non-tradable, if their value holds, they might sell for $525 million once unlocked.”
