Barron Trump, the youngest son of US President Donald Trump has reportedly earned around $40 million from the cryptocurrency venture, launched by his father.
As per the report by Forbes, 19-year-old Barron Trump, who got around $25 million in his pocket after taxes, earned the whole sum amount through digital token firm, World Liberty Financial, launched by President Trump in September 2024.
While the POTUS admitted he was still learning the new tech, he said that Barron was already ahead of the game.
鈥淏arron knows so much about this. He鈥檚 a young guy, but he knows it鈥攈e talks about his wallet. He鈥檚 got four wallets or something, and I鈥檓 saying, 鈥榃hat is a wallet?鈥欌 Trump had said in an interview at that time, as per the report.
Reportedly, the President himself is estimated to have made around $1 billion through crypto-related activities.
As per the Forbes, World Liberty Financial in March this year announced that it sold at least $550 million worth of tokens. After the first $30 million was set aside, the remaining funds appear to have flowed directly to the owners of the venture.
The report further cited recent financial disclosure filed with the US Office of Government Ethics which revealed that Donald Trump earned $57 million from the sales. The document also stated that Trump family holds a 75% stake in the umbrella company DT Marks Defi LLC, with the remaining 25% owned by undisclosed third parties. He personally owns 52.5% of the company, while other unnamed family members own an additional 22.5%.
Barron is listed as a co-founder of World Liberty Financial, alongside his father, Donald Trump Jr, and Eric Trump. Forbes estimated that Barron likely holds a 7.5% stake in the Delaware-based firm. Barron was also named a 鈥渨eb3 ambassador鈥 for the project alongside his older brothers.
Reportedly, a partial sale of the company took place in early 2025, after the most recent financial disclosures, so it鈥檚 possible Barron鈥檚 actual earnings have changed since.
Barron, who was nine when his father announced his 2016 presidential campaign, moved into the White House at age 11 in January 2017. He enrolled at NYU鈥檚 Stern School of Business in September 2024. He previously attended elite private schools like St. Andrew鈥檚 in Maryland and Oxbridge Academy in Florida.
