At the age of 19, Barron Trump has built a significant financial position, largely through his early involvement in the cryptocurrency market.
With an estimated net worth of $150 million, Barron has surpassed his mother, Melania Trump, in terms of wealth, an achievement largely due to his involvement in the family's digital asset projects.
WLFI Puts 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, his current assets are 150 million USD.
Barron Trump's fortune has grown significantly since the launch of the Trump family's cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) . According to company documents, he is a co-founder, along with his brothers.
While Barron Trump's exact stake in the project has not been disclosed, reports estimate that he has earned around $80 million from the Token Sale . He currently holds 2.3 billion WLFI Token , which could fetch around $525 million if sold, a valuation that would put him ahead of his mother, Melania Trump , in terms of net worth.
Barron introduces Trump to crypto
According to reports, Barron Trump was the first in the family to realize the potential of the cryptocurrency market and eventually convinced them to launch WLFI by the end of 2024.
During the launch last September, Donald Trump recounted his confusion about the term cryptocurrency, laughing that he didn’t even know what a digital “wallet” was, while his son Barron reportedly had “four wallets or something.”
With a strong interest in business, Barron is said to have spent his summer vacation on business activities, including attending meetings with partners, developing new technology projects and finalizing deals and strategies to launch his own company.
Barron is not the only son to benefit significantly from the cryptocurrency projects led by his father.
The family finance boom
Trump's second term in the White House has significantly increased his children's fortunes , according to Forbes.
In one year, Donald Trump Jr. saw his fortune increase tenfold, reaching $500 million. The cryptocurrency market and new contracts brought even more profits to Eric Trump, whose bank account skyrocketed from $40 million to $750 million in the same period.
However, it was Trump who benefited the most from cryptocurrency trading. His cryptocurrency investments brought in $2 billion, contributing to a total profit of $3 billion for the year.
The $3 billion increase sent his total wealth up 70% to $7.3 billion, propelling the President to 201st place on the Forbes 400 list of America's richest people.
