The first bucket of gold of the post-00s "chosen one" Barron Trump.

Written by: Deng Tong, Golden Finance

Born in 2006, Barron is only 19 years old, but his net worth has already reached $150 million. Barron has been involved in founding a luxury real estate company, the Trump family's cryptocurrency project WLFI, and campaigning for senior positions at TikTok…

On October 11, the crypto market crashed suddenly, and many speculated that Balen shorted the crypto market, but the real short seller was Garrett Jin.

Since Barron did not profit 190 million dollars, this member of the first family from the United States has a fortune of 150 million dollars. This article explores how Barron earned his first pot of gold.

1. Barenchi person

Barron William Trump, born on March 20, 2006, is the youngest child of U.S. President Donald Trump and the only child with his third wife, Melania Trump.

In June 2015, Barron attended Trump's presidential campaign announcement. Since the election, Melania has been “very protective” of Barron. He started attending Oxford Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in August 2021, under the protection of the Secret Service. Graduates from Oxford Academy in West Palm Beach in May 2024.

In the presidential election, Barron played an important role in helping Trump attract 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 after Trump's victory.

In September 2024, Baren became a co-founder of the Trump family project World Liberty Financial.

In October 2025, Baren is campaigning for a senior position at TikTok.

2. Following in My Father's Footsteps - Founded a Real Estate Company at 18

In July 2024, Barun established a real estate company. It was dissolved on November 14, 2024 (a few days after Donald Trump won the presidential election).

This seems to resonate with Trump's business experience in the real estate sector when he was young. In 1971, Trump took over his father's residential real estate company. From then on, a business empire that spanned across the United States and even the globe was born, covering residential properties, luxury hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump's name thus became well-known, laying the foundation for his political rise.

Another partner of this real estate company is Cameron Roxburgh, a classmate of Barron at the Palm Beach Oxford Bridge Academy. Cameron pointed out the reason for the company's dissolution just four months after its establishment: to avoid drawing media attention during the election. According to Cameron, the company is a high-end real estate development firm that plans to own properties and golf courses in Utah, Arizona, and Idaho. Trump had privately offered advice to his son and endorsed the idea. However, Trump did not provide funding for the company; they plan to merge the company into the Trump Group, making it a subsidiary.

However, Barron's commercial debut does not seem to have been successful. In the United States, typical real estate development projects usually take at least 12 to 24 months from initiation to profitability, meaning that this rapidly dissolved company did not have time to enter the project execution or cash flow stage. Currently, there is also no public data showing that Barron made any money from his real estate career.

3. Entering Family Projects - Joining WLFI Co-founders

In September 2024, Barron became a co-founder of the Trump family project World Liberty Financial, which not only filled the Trump family's coffers but also helped Barron quickly accumulate a significant amount of wealth, seizing his first pot of gold in life.

DT Marks Defi LLC, a company holding shares of the Trump family in World Liberty, obtained a total of 22.5 billion cryptocurrency tokens named $WLFI in September 2024. As a condition for promoting and allowing the project to use the Trump name, the company also received 75% of the revenue from World Liberty after the first $15 million in earnings. According to financial disclosures submitted during Trump's presidency, he owned 70% of Trump Marks Defi LLC as of the beginning of this year. His family owns the remaining 30%. His sons Eric, Donald Jr., and Barron are listed as co-founders, so assuming they share this 30% equally, each would hold 10% of the shares.

Initially, this 10% stake was not substantial. The World Liberty tokens cannot be resold or transferred once purchased, and the token sales were generally modest. However, after Trump won the election, the sales of WLFI improved immediately. According to data released by the company and its clients, as of August, World Liberty has sold tokens worth approximately $675 million. Baron's after-tax income was about $38 million.

In March of this year, World Liberty announced the launch of another product: the USD1 stablecoin. The market capitalization of USD1 is approximately $2.6 billion, and the Trump family seems to hold a 38% stake in the company. Barron may have earned about $34 million.

In August, World Liberty reached an agreement with a listed healthcare company named Alt5 Sigma, which is seeking to transform into a cryptocurrency fund management company. As part of the deal, Alt5 exchanged 1 million shares of Alt5 Sigma stock, 99 million warrants, and 20 million warrants exercisable at a higher price for tokens valued at 750 million dollars of $WLFI . Alt5 used the substantial funds raised to purchase World Liberty Financial tokens worth 717 million dollars, of which over 500 million dollars flowed to Trump's company, and approximately 41 million dollars (after tax) went to Barren.

Barron also received about 2.25 billion World Liberty tokens, accounting for 10% of the 22.5 billion tokens initially obtained by the Trump Organization. Barron's 10% stake is now worth approximately $45 million.

All of this adds up to just over $150 million, which is no small amount for a 19-year-old sophomore college student. Barren has no other known assets, but this money is enough to cover his $67,430 tuition at NYU's Stern School of Business, which is more than 2200 times that amount.

IV. Running for Senior Position on TikTok

As mentioned above, Barron helped Trump win over young voters, and if Barron successfully campaigns for a senior position at TikTok, it will also ensure the enhancement of TikTok's appeal among young people.

According to the executive order signed by Trump in September: “TikTok USA will be operated by a newly established joint venture. ByteDance will receive about 50% of the profits from TikTok's US operations.”

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 Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, pointed out: “President Trump has fulfilled his promise by saving TikTok and millions of Americans who run businesses and receive unfiltered news through the app. The vast majority of TikTok's user base is young people. I hope President Trump considers appointing his son Barron and other young Americans to the TikTok board to ensure it remains an app that young people are willing to continue using.”

From real estate to cryptocurrency, and then to TikTok, with the business genes of a savvy father as a foundation and the infinite opportunities provided by family connections, the chosen one Barron’s business career may just be beginning…

V. Appendix: The Wealth of Trump's Other Four Children

In 1982, Trump and his father made it onto the inaugural Forbes 400 list of billionaires, with their combined net worth reaching $200 million (equivalent to $660 million today). His first famous quote was: “Man is the most ferocious of all animals; life is a series of battles ending in victory or defeat.” Decades later, Trump took office in the White House, and his family was monetizing these predatory instincts in novel ways.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump

Net Assets: 1 billion USD; 100 million USD

In January 2021, Kushner founded the private equity firm Affinity Partners. Kushner raised $4.6 billion from supporters in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, leveraging connections he established while serving as a presidential advisor, and has invested over $2 billion in 22 companies. The firm is valued at approximately $215 million. Thanks to the funding from Affinity, along with his 20% stake in the family real estate company Kushner Companies (worth $560 million), Kushner is now a billionaire. The couple's property in the elite Miami neighborhood of Indian Creek Island, where Jeff Bezos also resides, has also contributed to this. Since they purchased the property in 2020, its value has more than doubled, reaching about $105 million.

Eric Trump

Net Assets: 750 million USD

Eric Trump, the second son, had an estimated net worth of $40 million last year, earning more money in the cryptocurrency field than any of his siblings. Most of his funds came from American Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency mining company he co-founded with others in March, which went public in early September and at one point made him a billionaire. The 7.5% stake he holds is worth about $500 million. He also received about 10% of the proceeds from the token sale of World Liberty Financial. In May of this year, he traveled to the Middle East with his brother Don Jr. to sign an agreement that allows the family business to use their family brand at a golf resort in Qatar and engage in some other new ventures. As of July 2024, the brothers seem to have shared 20% of the profits from certain licensing agreements.

Donald Trump

Net Assets: 500 million USD

Little Donald 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, looking for merger and acquisition targets in the technology, healthcare, or logistics sectors. He is also a significant participant in the anti-woke economy, collaborating with the venture capital firm 1789 Capital, which identifies itself as “anti-ESG,” and serves on the boards of the anti-woke, anti-abortion online platform Public Square, online gun retailer GrabAGun, and the parent company of Truth Social. His wealth has increased from an estimated $50 million last year.

Michael Boulos and Tiffany Trump

Net Assets: 20 million USD; 1-20 million USD

Michael's father is Massad Boulos, who is associated with companies like SCOA Nigeria and Boulos Enterprises. Tiffany's publicly available assets are relatively few, unlike her siblings who have been involved in the family business operations for a long time.
