At just 19, Barron Trump, the youngest son of former US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, has quietly amassed a net worth of approximately $150 million (around Rs 13,000 crore), according to Forbes. While most college students are focused on coursework and social life, Barron has already made significant inroads into the world of cryptocurrency, contributing to the expansion of the Trump family’s wealth.
Barron played a pivotal role in familiarizing Donald Trump with the basics of cryptocurrency. In 2024, Barron co-founded World Liberty Financial (WLFI) alongside Donald Trump and his older brothers, just months before Trump’s third presidential campaign. The venture quickly became lucrative, with the Trump family company DT Marks Defi LLC receiving 22.5 billion WLFI tokens in September 2024 in exchange for promoting the Trump name and sharing revenues. Forbes estimates that Barron’s stake in this venture could be around 10% of the company.
Rapid Growth and Earnings
Initially, the WLFI tokens had little market value. However, following Donald Trump’s election win, crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun invested $75 million in World Liberty, coinciding with a paused SEC investigation into Sun. Token sales surged, with projected sales reaching $675 million by August 2025, giving Barron approximately $38 million after taxes, as per Forbes. The family also launched a USD-pegged stablecoin with a market capitalization of $2.6 billion, further boosting Barron’s estimated share to $34 million. Additional partnerships, such as a $750 million token deal with healthcare firm Alt5 Sigma, added roughly $41 million to his post-tax earnings. Combined with billions in locked-up tokens, Barron’s crypto holdings could potentially reach $525 million in the future.
Young Entrepreneur at NYU
Barron is currently a sophomore at New York University’s Stern School of Business. Sources tell People that he spent his summer meeting partners, developing tech projects, and planning independent ventures. His net worth already surpasses that of his mother Melania Trump and sister Ivanka Trump, who are reported to have fortunes of $20 million and $100 million respectively.
Background and Personal Life
Born in 2006, Barron maintained a relatively low profile compared to his siblings. He moved to Washington, D.C., when his father assumed the presidency in 2017 and attended a private school in Maryland with tuition exceeding $50,000 annually. Melania Trump renegotiated her prenuptial agreement in 2018 to ensure Barron’s inheritance and involvement in the family business.
Standing at 6’7″, Barron drew attention during his freshman year at NYU’s Greenwich Village campus for his height and presence. He reportedly communicates with friends via Xbox chat and Discord, avoiding sharing personal contact information to maintain privacy. Despite limited public appearances, he was photographed with Melania at Trump Tower in March, wearing a Rolex reportedly valued at nearly $50,000. He is routinely accompanied by protective agents in line with Secret Service protocols for presidential children.
