From Private Profile to Web3 Ambassador

Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump, has reportedly secured one of the most lucrative financial windfalls of any presidential relative, thanks to his prominent role in the family’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial (WLF).

At just 19 years old, Barron is estimated to have earned up to $40 million from WLF, with after-tax gains around $25 million—outpacing his older siblings in early wealth accumulation.

Barron’s involvement was first teased by his father in September 2024 when Trump describe Barron as a young guy who knows it all, even admitting that Barron understood digital wallets better than he did.

In that same month, World Liberty Financial launched its golden paper, where President Trump's three sons, Barron, Donald Trump. Jr and Eric Trump were named as the Web3 ambassadors and cofounders of the company.

No one ever knew the exact amount the three sons earned from their crypto business-until recently when Trump's financial statement was released.

In the statement, it was stated that 53.5% of the stakes went to Trump himself, while 22.5% of the stake was split among unnamed family members.

Assumed that the 22.5% were split equally among the three boys, each son would be bequeathed with 7.5% of stake, the same percentage they reportedly held in the now-defunct Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C.

Till date, World Liberty Financial has sold over $550 million worth of tokens, with roughly $520 million distributed to stakeholders.

This suggests that each Trump son may have received around $39 million, though partial sale of the venture in early 2025 could have changed those figures.

Barron's leadership role in World Liberty Financial deviates from his previous private profile. Barron was just nine when he entered the limelight. During that time, Trump was still running for his first presidential campaign.

Since his first appearance, Barron has been kept outside of the spotlight, attending private elite private schools in Washington and Florida before enrolling at NYU's Stern School of Business in fall 2024.

Trump Crypto Earnings Continues To Grow

Donald Trump himself continues to capitalize on the crypto market’s momentum. In 2024 alone, Trump reportedly generated a $57.7 million revenue stream from his crypto projects, making crypto one of his top income sources after hospitality and real estate.

Trump's crypto earnings is expected to rise in 2025, with an anticipated $390 million token sale and gains from the $TRUMP memecoin, launched in January.

Despite his financial success, Trump's crypto activities have raised concerns among his political opponents who have accused Trump of profitting from favorable policy decisions during his presidency.
