Trump's son, 19 years old, has a net worth of 150 million! Wealth from Crypto Assets has pushed him into the TikTok board.

Born in 2006, Barron Trump is only 19 years old, but his net worth has already reached 150 million dollars. Trump’s son Barron has participated in the establishment of a luxury real estate company, the Trump family's encryption project WLFI, and a senior position in the TikTok campaign, with his total net worth currently exceeding 150 million dollars. Trump's former social media manager suggested appointing Barron to the TikTok board to attract young users.

The Chosen One: The Wealth Accumulation Path of a 19-Year-Old

Barron William Trump, born on March 20, 2006, is the youngest child of President Trump and the only child with his third wife Melania Trump. During the presidential election, Barron played a significant role in helping Trump appeal to young voters. He attended Trump's victory speech after the 2024 presidential election and Trump's second inauguration.

In July 2024, Barron co-founded the real estate company Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc. with others. The company was dissolved immediately after Trump’s election victory. Another partner of this real estate company is Barron's classmate from Palm Beach Oxford Bridge Academy, Cameron Roxburgh. Cameron pointed out the reason for the company’s dissolution just four months after its establishment: to avoid attracting media attention during the election period. According to Cameron, the company was a high-end real estate development firm planning to have properties and golf courses in Utah, Arizona, and Idaho.

However, Barron's commercial debut does not seem to have been successful. In the United States, a typical real estate development project usually takes at least 12–24 months from initiation to profitability, meaning this rapidly dissolved company didn't even have time to enter the project execution or cash flow stages. Currently, there is no public information indicating that Trump's son Barron made money from his real estate company career. What truly allowed Barron to quickly accumulate wealth is the Trump family's encryption project.

WLFI Project: The True Source of 150 Million Dollar Wealth

In September 2024, Barron became a co-founder of the Trump family's project World Liberty Financial, which is also the WLFI project that allowed the Trump family to amass wealth while helping Barron quickly accumulate a large fortune, securing his first pot of gold in life. The company DT Marks Defi LLC, which holds the Trump family's shares in World Liberty, obtained a total of 22.5 billion encryption tokens named $WLFI in September 2024.

According to the financial disclosures submitted during Trump's presidency, as of the beginning of this year, he owns 70% of Trump Marks Defi LLC. His family holds the remaining 30%. His sons Eric, Donald Jr., and Barron are listed as co-founders, so if we assume they share the 30% equally, each will own 10%. Initially, this 10% stake was not much. World Liberty tokens cannot be resold or transferred once purchased, and the token sales figures are generally modest. However, after Trump won the election, the sales situation for WLFI improved immediately.

Trump's son Barron's $150 million wealth breakdown

WLFI Token Sale Revenue Sharing: As of August, World Liberty has sold tokens valued at approximately $675 million, with Barron's after-tax income being about $38 million.

USD1 Stablecoin Earnings: The market value of USD1 is approximately 2.6 billion dollars, the Trump family holds a 38% stake in the company, and Barron may have earned about 34 million dollars.

Alt5 Sigma Trading: In the trading between World Liberty and Alt5 Sigma, over 500 million USD flowed to Trump's company, with approximately 41 million USD (after tax) flowing to Balan.

WLFI Token Holdings: Barron has also acquired approximately 2.25 billion World Liberty tokens, now worth about 45 million US dollars.

All of this adds up to slightly over $150 million, which is no small amount for a 19-year-old sophomore in college. Barren has no other known assets, but this money is enough to cover his $67,430 tuition at NYU Stern School of Business, more than 2200 times that amount. Notably, when the cryptocurrency market crashed on October 11, many speculated that Barren shorted the crypto market, but the real short seller was Garrett Jin, and Barren was not involved in that short.

TikTok Board: A Strategy Where Young People Influence Young People

As mentioned above, Barren has helped Trump win over young voters, and if Barren successfully campaigns for a senior position at TikTok, it will also ensure to strengthen TikTok's appeal among young people. According to the executive order signed by Trump in September: “TikTok USA will be operated by a newly formed joint venture. ByteDance will receive about 50% of TikTok USA's business profits.” Trump once said in a video: “For all the young people on TikTok, I saved TikTok, so you owe me a lot.”

Jack Advent, the former social media manager for Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, stated: “President Trump has delivered on his promise, saving TikTok and the millions of Americans who run businesses and access unfiltered news through the app. The vast majority of TikTok users are young people. I hope President Trump will consider appointing his son Barron and other young Americans to the TikTok board to ensure it remains an app that young people will continue to use.”

Trump's relationship with TikTok can be described as highly dramatic. During his first term, he accused the app of threatening U.S. national security and threatened to ban it; however, in January 2025, he suddenly revoked the ban and announced plans to “save” TikTok, seeking American buyers to take over. According to an executive order signed by Trump two weeks ago regarding the approval of TikTok's restructuring, American investors will hold about 65% of TikTok's U.S. version, while the parent company ByteDance's stake will drop to below 20%. The new investment team is led by Oracle founder Larry Ellison and includes media mogul Rupert Murdoch and Dell CEO Michael Dell.

According to reports, Trump's son Barron is currently attending classes at the George Washington University campus in New York and has now moved back to live in the White House. First Lady Melania previously stated that Barron is a key driver for Trump's victory in 2024. From real estate to encryption and TikTok, with his father's business genes and the infinite opportunities provided by family connections, the destined child Barron's business career may just be beginning.

Trump Family Wealth Map: Comparison of Siblings' Wealth

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have net worths of $1 billion and $100 million, respectively. In January 2021, Kushner founded a private equity firm called Affinity Partners, raising $4.6 billion from supporters in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, leveraging the relationships he built while serving as a presidential advisor, and has invested over $2 billion in 22 companies.

Eric Trump has a net worth of 750 million USD, with last year's estimate at 40 million USD, and he has made more money in the cryptocurrency space than any of his siblings. Most of the funding comes from American Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency mining company he co-founded with others in March, which went public in early September. Eric holds a 7.5% stake valued at approximately 500 million USD. He also earned about 10% of the revenue from the World Liberty Financial token sale.

Donald Trump has a net worth of 500 million dollars, holds a small stake in American Bitcoin, and is a co-founder of World Liberty. He and Eric established a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in August, seeking merger and acquisition targets in technology, healthcare, or logistics.

In comparison, although Trump’s youngest son Barron is the youngest at age 19, his net worth of $150 million has already surpassed Ivanka's ($100 million). While it is less than Eric's ($750 million) and Donald Jr.'s ($500 million), considering he has just started his business career, his future potential is limitless. More importantly, Barron's wealth accumulation speed is astonishing, reaching this scale in just over a year, which is also extremely rare in the Trump family.
