At 19 years old, Barron Trump has carved out an important economic niche, largely through his early adoption of cryptocurrencies.

With an estimated net worth of $150 million, he has already surpassed the wealth of his mother, Melania Trump, a feat largely due to his family’s involvement in the digital asset business.

WLFI pushes Barron’s net worth past his mother’s

Barron Trump, the youngest son of US President Donald Trump, is rapidly increasing his net worth. According to recent reports, that amount is now $150 million.

Barron Trump’s wealth has increased significantly since the launch of the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial (WLFI). He is a co-founder along with his brothers, according to the company’s white paper.

Reports suggest that Barron Trump has already pocketed an estimated $80 million from the token sale, although his exact ownership in the project remains undisclosed. His current holdings of 2.3 billion WLFI tokens could generate around $525 million if sold, a valuation that already allows him to surpass his mother, Melania Trump, in net worth.

Barron introduces virtual currency to President Trump

According to reports, Barron Trump was the first in his family to recognize the potential of the cryptocurrency market, ultimately convincing them to launch WLFI in late 2024.

At a press conference last September, Donald Trump spoke of his confusion about virtual currency terminology. Her son Barron reportedly had “four wallets or something,” but she laughed, saying her son Barron doesn’t even know what a digital “wallet” is.

Mr. Baron himself has a keen interest in business, reportedly spending his summers engaged in business activities such as attending meetings with partners, developing new technology projects, and finalizing deals and strategies to launch his own company.

Barron wasn’t the only son to benefit greatly from his father’s cryptocurrency venture.

booming household economy

According to Forbes magazine, the children’s wealth has increased significantly since President Trump’s second term in the White House.

Donald Trump Jr.’s fortune increased tenfold in one year, reaching $500 million. The cryptocurrency market and various new contracts became even more lucrative for Eric Trump, and his bank account increased dramatically from $40 million to $750 million over the same period.

However, Trump himself remains the person who has profited the most from crypto trading. His crypto investments alone brought in $2 billion, contributing to a total annual profit of $3 billion.

This $3 billion increase increased his total wealth by 70% to $7.3 billion, and moved the president to No. 201 on the Forbes 400 list of America’s richest people.
