The impressive net worth of Barron Trump, the president’s younger son, has been disclosed, revealing that at 19 years old, he is wealthier than First Lady Melania Trump.
Barron, the son of Donald and Melania Trump, is currently attending the Stern School of Business at NYU, a prestigious institution known for its excellence in business education.
He recently relocated from Manhattan to Washington, D.C., to attend classes at NYU’s campus, allowing him to be closer to his family residing in the White House.
Despite focusing on his education, Barron has a significant financial cushion to fall back on should his academic pursuits take a different turn.
President Trump acknowledges his teenage son’s role in helping him engage with younger voters during the last election while also noting Barron’s influence in teaching him about cryptocurrency.
In 2024, Barron partnered with his father and older brothers to co-found the cryptocurrency company, World Liberty Financial.
Following Trump’s presidential victory, World Liberty Financial experienced exponential growth, contributing over $1.5 billion to the Trump family’s finances.
Barron owns 10 percent of the company, which translates to an impressive net worth of $150 million for the young adult.
After the election, cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun announced a $75 million investment, further boosting sales for the company.
As of August this year, World Liberty Financial had sold $675 million worth of tokens and secured deals across various industries, including a partnership with healthcare company Alt5 Sigma.
This remarkable success has resulted in Barron accumulating a net worth three times that of his mother, Melania, who has a $50 million net worth primarily from her modeling career.
According to Forbes, Barron’s wealth includes $38 million from the World Liberty tokens deal, $34 million from the stablecoin USD1, $41 million from the Alt5 Sigma partnership, and tokens valued at $45 million.
Despite Barron’s financial success, reports have surfaced suggesting that he has faced challenges in forming new friendships and has appeared ‘awkward’ in social situations.
Nevertheless, President Trump has expressed that Barron is thriving at NYU. During a golf outing, Kai, Donald Trump Jr.’s eldest daughter, inquired about Barron’s well-being at the university.
“Good, he’s doing good,” Trump promptly replied. “He’s a good boy. He loves you.”
He continued, saying, “He said, ‘Say hello to Kai, dad’. I said, ‘Why don’t you come out and watch [them play golf]?’ He said – She’s so cute.”
