The youngest son of President Donald Trump has amassed a fortune that eclipses his mother’s net worth by more than sevenfold, according to recent financial reporting. Barron Trump, a 19-year-old sophomore at New York University’s Stern School of Business on its Washington, DC campus, holds an estimated net worth of $150 million, primarily stemming from his involvement in cryptocurrency ventures launched during his father’s 2024 presidential campaign.
The bulk of Barron’s wealth originates from World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency company co-founded in 2024 by the Trump family. The young entrepreneur reportedly introduced his father to cryptocurrency and digital wallets during the campaign period, with the elder Trump joking about his limited knowledge of the technology and mentioning that Barron had “four wallets or something.”
When President Trump secured his electoral victory, the company’s token and Stablecoin values surged dramatically. Analysts estimate the venture added more than $1.5 billion to the Trump family. Barron holds a 10 percent stake in the company, with his brothers Eric and Donald Jr. collectively owning an additional 20 percent. Following the company’s dramatic increase in value, Barron’s initial share was valued at approximately $38 million after taxes, according to Forbes reporting from early October.
Beyond his stake in World Liberty Financial, Barron allegedly holds 2.3 billion World Liberty tokens, valued at roughly $45 million. His financial portfolio has expanded further through token sales and deals orchestrated by World Liberty, generating an additional $80 million. The tokens he retains could be worth another $525 million if sold, though he has not yet liquidated these holdings.
By comparison, First Lady Melania Trump has a net worth of approximately $20 million, making her son’s financial standing more than seven times her own. Even among his half-siblings, Barron’s wealth places him in a different category. Donald Trump Jr. reportedly holds a net worth of $500 million as of October 2025, while Eric Trump’s wealth reaches $750 million, largely due to their investments in American Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency ventures.
During the summer of 2025, Barron dedicated his time away from university to developing his business interests. A social source told People in August that the teenager spent the bulk of his break in meetings with business partners, developing technology projects, and closing deals to launch his own ventures. The source noted that “Barron has been actively working on his own financial interests and has spent time with others with whom he is involved in that area.”
Barron’s entrepreneurial ambitions first surfaced publicly in January 2025, shortly after his father’s inauguration. Reports emerged that he intended to establish a real estate company, with political sources suggesting he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps in property development.
Despite his substantial wealth, Barron maintains his status as a full-time student at NYU’s prestigious Stern School of Business, where tuition reaches $67,430 per year. With his current net worth, he could theoretically pay that tuition more than 2,200 times over. He is expected to graduate in 2028.
The Trump family’s cryptocurrency ventures have proven extraordinarily lucrative across the board. President Trump himself allegedly holds approximately $2.4 billion in cryptocurrency and liquid assets, including $709 million in memecoin tokens, $338 million in World Liberty Financial tokens, $235 million in StableCoin, and $12 million from a World Liberty token trade with the company Alt5. These holdings have helped make him the 201st wealthiest person in the United States, with a total net worth of $7.3 billion. His cryptocurrency investments alone have added $2 billion to his wealth over the past year.
In October 2025, President Trump addressed questions about his youngest son’s adjustment to university life during a golf outing with his granddaughter Kai, who posted the interaction to her YouTube channel. When asked about Barron’s experience at NYU, the president responded that his son was doing well and described him as a good boy.
Regarding romantic relationships, sources indicated to People that dating does not appear to be a priority for Barron at present. One source explained that with his academic commitments, family obligations, and emerging career, relationships are not currently a significant focus. His attention remains centered on his education and expanding business portfolio as he navigates his sophomore year while managing substantial financial interests.
