According to Forbes, Donald Trump's eldest children earn millions of dollars each year by participating in their father's real estate empire. Meanwhile, Barron Trump seems to be earning more and at a faster pace.

Before the Trump family ventured into the cryptocurrency space, Barron Trump was already fully immersed in it. "Barron knows a lot about this," President Trump stated during an interview in September, at the time when the Trump family had just launched a cryptocurrency project called "World Liberty Financial." "Although Barron is young, he understands these things very well - he often mentions his 'wallets,'" Trump added, "He has something like four wallets, and I'm still asking, 'What is a wallet?'"

In the past nine months, Donald Trump has made about $1 billion through cryptocurrency, and his youngest son Barron has also performed well. It is estimated that Barron Trump may have earned nearly $40 million, with a net worth of about $25 million after taxes. This figure clearly far exceeds the wealth accumulated by his siblings at a similar age.

In contrast, Trump's eldest and second sons once held small stakes in the family’s tower in Las Vegas and the hotel in Washington D.C., but these investments seem to have not yielded returns as substantial as the cryptocurrency boom. The crypto wave provided Barron with a luxurious opportunity to formally step into the Trump family business empire.

In the "Gold Paper" (a white paper with a Trump style) of the cryptocurrency project "World Liberty Financial" launched by the Trump family, Barron is referred to as the "Web3 Ambassador," a title also given to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Additionally, the three are listed as co-founders of the project, alongside four others on the official website.

However, for months, the specific shareholding ratio of the Trump family members in this project has remained a mystery. It wasn't until last Friday that Trump himself (referred to as the "Chief Crypto Advocate" in the white paper and listed as an honorary co-founder on the official website) released a financial disclosure report revealing that he personally holds 52.5% of the shares, while unnamed family members collectively hold 22.5%.

The document does not specify the distribution of shares among family members in detail, but if Donald Trump Jr., Eric, and Barron equally share this portion of the shares, each will hold 7.5%. This proportion is identical to the shares held by Trump's three adult children in the Washington D.C. hotel.

How much profit has "World Liberty Financial" brought?

The project has sold at least $550 million worth of tokens, with the proceeds from the first $30 million seemingly flowing to the project owners thereafter. As a result, Barron and his two brothers may have each received $39 million before taxes.

However, there is one variable: The Trump family appears to have sold a portion of the project around January 2025, a deal that appears to have occurred after the deadline for the most recent financial disclosures. The timing and amount of the sale may affect the final proceeds for Barron and his brother. Representatives of World Liberty Financial and the Trump Organization did not respond to requests for comment.

Regardless of the specifics of Barron's earnings, one thing is certain: at just 19 years old, he has already joined the ranks of presidential relatives who profit due to their close ties to power. At the age of just 9, his father, Donald Trump, announced his candidacy for president on the famous golden escalator in Trump Tower.

After 17 months, Trump won the election and took office in the White House in January 2017. That summer, Barron and his mother Melania also moved into the White House. It was reported that Barron attended St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland during his time in Washington, where the current annual tuition exceeds $50,000.

Although Barron rarely makes public appearances, according to a biography of Melania published in 2020, Melania renegotiated the prenuptial agreement in 2018, securing better inheritance terms for Barron and more opportunities for him to participate in the family business. This undoubtedly laid the groundwork for Barron's early success in the family business empire.

In the years outside the White House and away from the spotlight, Barron Trump reportedly attended Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, where the annual tuition exceeds $40,000. In September 2024, he enrolled at New York University’s Stern School of Business, where the annual tuition reaches as high as $99,000. In the same month, his father announced the creation of a cryptocurrency project called "World Liberty Financial." Clearly, Barron does not need to worry about tuition fees.
