Barron Trump’s net worth has been drastically changed due to cryptocurrency
Barron Trump, the youngest son of former U.S. president Donald Trump, has reportedly built a massive fortune at just 19 years old, largely thanks to his involvement in cryptocurrency. Since his father returned to office this year, the Trump family’s wealth has grown significantly, with Barron emerging as one of its standout success stories.
While Barron has kept a relatively low public profile, his financial achievements have drawn attention. Described as both tall and tech-savvy, he has reportedly played a role in helping his father connect with younger voters. Donald Trump even joked at an inauguration event, calling him “a very tall son named Barron” and crediting him for suggesting media appearances like Joe Rogan’s podcast.
Barron’s tech interests appear to extend beyond politics. Together with his father and brothers, he co-founded World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture launched last year. The company’s success surged following Trump’s election victory, significantly boosting the family’s net worth.
According to Forbes, World Liberty Financial added about $1.5 billion to the Trumps’ overall fortune, with Barron’s personal share estimated at $150 million. He also benefited through Trump Marks Defi LLC, which holds the family’s crypto stakes and received billions of $WLFI tokens.
Trump reportedly owns 70 percent of the firm, while his sons Eric, Don Jr., and Barron each hold 10 percent.
A $75 million investment from billionaire Justin Sun further fueled the company’s rise, with token sales reaching $675 million by August. Barron’s after-tax profit from those sales was around $38 million.
Despite online critics claiming he risked little since the capital came from family wealth, Barron Trump now stands as a multimillionaire — proof, perhaps, that being both lucky and well-connected can pay off handsomely.
