How much is Barron Trump worth — and where did his fortune come from?

Donald Trump’s son Barron has been in the spotlight more of late, despite rarely making public appearances before his father’s second term in the White House. The 19-year-old, 6 foot 9 student attracted attention at the inauguration with his mystery remarks to outgoing president Joe Biden, while Trump has recently said the teenager is ‘doing good’ amid reports he is struggling in his second year at NYU. But one thing which is less known about Barron is just how much he is worth — and how he has already contributed to further inflating the Trump family’s fortunes.

According to Forbes, it’s estimated that Barron is already worth around $150m (£115m) – a tad more than your average 19-year-old student. He’s also been credited with helping expand the Trumps’ finances by a considerable sum, and it’s all down to cryptocurrency. (Picture: Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)

Barron, the son of Donald and Melania Trump, was born in 2006 and was only nine when Trump made his first presidential bid in 2015. He was kept out of the spotlight, moving to Washington DC in 2017 and reportedly enrolling in a private school in Maryland at the time. In 2018, Melania is said to have renegotiated her prenuptial agreement to give her son better inheritance terms, and greater involvement in the family business.

And it’s paying off. Barron – who is reported to have taught his dad what a crypto ‘wallet’ is – was listed as a co-founder of cryptocurrency company World Liberty Foundation, along with his father and brothers, in 2024, just months before the US election which saw Donald Trump win a second term in the White House. It was his win which gave the company a major boost – adding an estimated $1.5bn (£1.1bn) or more to the Trump family fortune, according to Forbes. (Picture: Melina Mara – Pool/Getty Images)

The company which holds the Trump stakes in World Liberty, DT Marks Defi LLC, gained 22.5 billion crypto tokens called $WLFI in September last year – as well as 75% of the revenues from after the first $15m (£11.4m) – in exchange for allowing the project to use the president’s name. According to financial disclosures filed as president – as reported in Forbes – Donald Trump owns 70% of DT Marks Defi LLC, with his family – including his sons – owning the remaining 30%.

After Trump’s election win in November 2024, crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun announced his intentions to invest $75m (£57m) in the project and sales began to rise. By August this year the company had sold around $675 (£504m). Subsequently they announced the launch of a stablecoin called USD1 – and the business behind this is said to be worth around $880m (£655m). World Liberty also struck a deal with a healthcare company called Alt5 Sigma back in August, which was looking to invest in cryptocurrency. (Picture: Reuters)

Barron benefitted from both of these deals, receiving 2.25 billion World Liberty tokens — around a 10% share in the company, Forbes report. While token holders voted in August to unlock 20% of coins in the company, those belonging to the founders remain locked up – and likely to be worth a lot more than the 20 cents those available on the market sell for.

When taking all of the above into account, Forbes has estimated that Barron’s chunk of the family fortune adds up to a little over $150m. This is broken down by $38m on the World Liberty tokens deal, $34m on the stablecoin, $41m from the Alt5 Sigma deal and tokens worth around $45m. (Picture: Getty Images)

Barron, who is a student at NYU School of business, is reported to be taking classes at the university’s Washington DC campus and living in the White House, after spending his first year on campus in New York. He is due to graduate in 2028. (Picture: Karen Ballard/ZUMA Press Wire/Sh)
