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, 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 less than two months before the November election. 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, generating more than $1.5 billion for 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 translated to approximately $38 million after taxes, according to Forbes reporting from early October.
Beyond his World Liberty Financial stake, Barron holds 2.25 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 currently retains possess the potential to bring another $525 million if sold, though he has not yet liquidated these holdings.
By comparison, First Lady Melania Trump maintains a net worth of approximately $20 million, making her son’s financial standing more than seven times larger than 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 indicated to People in August that the teenager spent the bulk of his break in meetings with business partners, developing technology projects, and establishing 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 who he is involved with 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. In July 2024, Barron and two business partners incorporated Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc. in Wyoming. However, the company was dissolved in November 2024, days after the presidential election, reportedly to avoid unwanted media attention during the transition period. One business partner expressed hopes to relaunch the venture in spring 2025.
Despite his substantial wealth, Barron maintains his status as a full-time student at NYU’s prestigious Stern School of Business, where annual tuition reaches $67,430. 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 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 contributed to making 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.
