At just 19 years old, Barron Trump—the youngest son of former President Donald Trump—has reportedly amassed close to $40 million thanks to a cryptocurrency venture launched by his father.

The company, World Liberty Financial, was founded in September 2024 and has reportedly generated $550 million in token sales, significantly boosting Barron’s personal wealth. According to Forbes, Barron is not only listed as a cofounder of the firm but also serves as a “Web3 ambassador” for the project, alongside his older brothers.

During the company’s launch, Donald Trump spoke candidly about his son’s surprising crypto savvy. “Barron knows so much about this,” he said in an interview at the time. “Barron’s a young guy, but he knows it—he talks about his wallet. He’s got four wallets or something, and I’m saying, ‘What is a wallet?’”

Trump Family Stakes and Barron’s Estimated Earnings

According to financial disclosures reviewed by Forbes, Donald Trump owns 52.5% of World Liberty Financial, while 22.5% is owned by other unnamed family members. If split evenly among Barron, Donald Jr., and Eric Trump, each would hold a 7.5% stake—netting Barron an estimated $39 million from token sales alone, before taxes. After taxes, his net worth could be around $25 million.

A partial sale of the company reportedly occurred in early 2025, suggesting Barron’s actual earnings could now be higher than those disclosed.

Barron’s Education and Background

Barron Trump began studying at NYU’s Stern School of Business in September 2024. With annual tuition costs nearing $99,000, his newfound wealth ensures that student debt won’t be a concern.

Before college, Barron attended prestigious private schools including St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Maryland and Oxbridge Academy in Florida—both of which also command steep tuition fees.

While Barron typically stays out of the public spotlight, his growing involvement in crypto and business ventures has drawn increased media attention.
