How He Accumulated His Wealth
President Trump has credited Barron with helping him appeal to younger voters and introducing him to cryptocurrency. In 2024, Barron co-founded World Liberty Financial alongside his father and brothers. After Trump’s election victory, the company surged, adding more than $1.5 billion to the Trump family’s finances. Barron’s 10 percent stake is now worth about $150 million.
Rapid Growth and Investments
World Liberty Financial expanded quickly after major investments, including a $75 million pledge from crypto figure Justin Sun. By August, the company had sold $675 million in tokens and inked several industry partnerships, including one with Alt5 Sigma.
Forbes estimates Barron’s wealth includes $38 million from token sales, $34 million from USD1 stablecoin earnings, $41 million from the Alt5 Sigma deal, and $45 million in other token assets — far surpassing Melania’s estimated $50 million fortune.
Life Beyond Wealth
Despite his success, reports say Barron has faced challenges adjusting socially. Still, President Trump insists his son is doing well and praised him warmly during a recent outing.
