How Much Is Barron Trump Worth?
A child during his father's first term, Barron Trump has become a political advisor—and business partner—to the president.
Barron Trump was all in on cryptocurrency before his father knew hardly anything about it. 'Barron knows so much about this,' the president said during an interview in September, when the Trump family launched a crypto venture named World Liberty Financial. 'Barron's a young guy, but he knows it—he talks about his wallet,' Trump added. 'He's got four wallets or something, and I'm saying, 'What is a wallet?''
In the nine months since, Donald Trump has made an estimated billion dollars or so on crypto—and his youngest son has done quite well, too. In fact, it's possible that Barron Trump has earned nearly $40 million, leaving him with an estimated $25 million fortune after accounting for taxes. That appears to be much more money than his older siblings piled up at his age. Trump's older children had small stakes in their father's tower in Las Vegas, then his hotel in Washington, D.C. But none of that seems to have thrown off as much cash as the crypto craze, which provided Barron with an opulent welcome into the Trump family business.
World Liberty Financial's 'gold paper'—a Trumpified white paper—named Barron as a 'web3 ambassador,' the same title given to Don Jr. and Eric Trump. All three are also listed on its website as cofounders along with four others. But for months it remained a complete mystery how much of a stake the Trump heirs received in the venture. On Friday, however, their father—dubbed 'chief crypto advocate' in the gold paper and cofounder emeritus on the website—released a financial disclosure report, revealing that he held a personal stake of 52.5% and unnamed family members owned another 22.5%. The document does not detail the split among the family members. But if Don Jr., Eric and Barron shared equal stakes, each would have taken 7.5% of the overall venture—the exact same amount that Trump's three eldest children held in his D.C. hotel.
How much money has World Liberty Financial thrown off so far? The venture sold at least $550 million of tokens, with everything after the first $30 million apparently flowing to the owners. Barron and his older brothers, therefore, could have received $39 million apiece before taxes. But there is one complication. The Trump family apparently sold a partial interest in the venture sometime around January 2025, a transaction that seems to have come after the cutoff date for the recent financial disclosure. Depending on exactly when the Trumps sold that stake—and for how much—Barron and his brothers could have come away with a different sum. Representatives of World Liberty Financial and the Trump Organization did not respond to requests for comment.
Regardless of Barron's exact take, there is little question that, at age 19, he has already joined the long list of presidential relatives who have found ways to cash in on their proximity to power. He was just nine when his father famously descended the golden escalator inside Trump Tower to announce a presidential bid. Seventeen months later, Donald Trump won the election, moving into the White House in January 2017. Barron and Melania followed that summer. Once in Washington, he reportedly enrolled at St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland, where tuition today runs upwards of $50,000 annually. His public appearances remained rare, but according to a biography of Melania published in 2020, she renegotiated her prenuptial agreement in 2018 to secure her son better inheritance terms and more involvement in the family business.
During his years out of the White House and out of the spotlight, Barron reportedly attended Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, which charges annual tuition of over $40,000. In September 2024, he enrolled in New York University's Stern School of Business, which costs $99,000 per year. That same month, his father announced the creation of World Liberty Financial. Barron should not have any trouble affording tuition.

President Donald Trump Orders Bombing Of 3 Iran Nuclear Sites, Democrats Frozen Out From Intel
Source: HAYI / Getty After initially stating to mull the decision for a time, President Donald Trump ordered the bombing of three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday (June 21), which has escalated the conflict to unprecedented levels. Top Democratic Party officials say that they were not briefed on President Trump's actions, and a national address from the former business mogul claimed a total annihilation of Iran's nuclear weapons production capabilities. As seen in an NBC News report, President Trump boasted of the bombing of three sites in Iran, Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, which the administration framed as the epicenter of Iran's nuclear weapons production. This comes as the two countries are locked in a long-distance skirmish that has left over 400 dead in Iran and over 24 dead in Israel. 'We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,' Trump wrote on Truth Social shortly after the attack. The move garnered praise from several GOP officials, including Speaker Mike Johnson, who stated that Congress would have taken too long to give its approval to Trump. Democratic Party Sen. John Fetterman praised Trump's actions, writing on X, 'Iran is the world's leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities. I'm grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.' Fetterman's stance differs from those of his party, many of whom said that they were left out of briefing talks ahead of the strikes. Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican congressman out of Kentucky, called Trump's actions 'unconstitutional' via social media. Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia wrote on X of the bombing, 'The American public is overwhelmingly opposed to the U.S. waging war on Iran. And the Israeli Foreign Minister admitted yesterday that Israeli bombing had set the Iranian nuclear program back 'at least 2 or 3 years'. So what made Trump recklessly decide to rush and bomb today? Horrible judgment. I will push for all Senators to vote on whether they are for this third idiotic Middle East war.' House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York shared in a statement, 'President Trump misled the country about his intentions, failed to seek congressional authorization for the use of military force and risks American entanglement in a potentially disastrous war in the Middle East.' United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres also took to X to give a statement regarding the strikes: I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security. There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world. I call on Member States to de-escalate and to uphold their obligations under the @UN Charter and other rules of international law. At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos. Source: Pool / Getty Late Saturday night, Trump was flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Jim Hegseth, and State Secretary Marco Rubio, praising the efforts of the military strike. 'I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done, and most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades,' President Trump said. On X, the reaction to the Iran bombing and the fear of retaliation cast gloom across the social media network.
