At just 19 years old, Barron Trump may already be outpacing his older siblings financially, thanks to his possible involvement in a lucrative crypto venture linked to the Trump family. According to a recent Forbes report, the youngest son of President Donald Trump could have earned nearly $40 million from the family’s digital asset business, World Liberty Financial, launched in September last year.
This revelation comes after the Irish Star reported that Donald Trump has brought in $57 million in income from various ventures, including cryptocurrency, merchandise like sneakers and watches, guitars, and book sales. The crypto company, World Liberty Financial, is believed to have been inspired in part by Barron himself, with Trump previously acknowledging his youngest son’s tech-savvy nature.
“Barron knows so much about this,” Trump said in a 2024 interview. “He’s got four wallets or something, and I’m saying, ‘What is a wallet?’” Since its launch nine months ago, the crypto company has reportedly helped Trump accumulate nearly a billion dollars in value.
While Trump maintains a 52.5% stake in the company, unnamed family members collectively own another 22.5%, according to a recent financial disclosure. If the remaining stake were divided equally among Donald Jr., Eric, and Barron, each would hold a 7.5% share.
Based on the reported $550 million in token sales—of which everything beyond the first $30 million reportedly went to owners—each of the three brothers could have received approximately $39 million before taxes.
After taxes, Forbes estimates that Barron’s earnings could be around $25 million, placing him far ahead of where his older siblings were financially at the same age. Don Jr. and Eric reportedly had modest stakes in Trump’s Las Vegas tower and Washington, D.C. hotel at 19, but those investments didn’t generate returns comparable to the crypto project.
Further cementing his role, Barron is named as a “web3 ambassador” on World Liberty Financial’s “gold paper”—a Trump-branded take on the traditional white paper used in tech startups. His older brothers also share the same honorary title.
However, some details remain unclear. Forbes notes that the Trump family recently sold a portion of their interest in the venture in January 2025, but this sale likely occurred after the cutoff date for Trump’s latest financial disclosure.
As a result, the exact current earnings for Barron and his siblings may shift depending on how much was sold, and when. Still, one thing is certain: Barron Trump’s entry into the crypto world has already made him a financial force within the Trump empire.
