Barron Trump's net worth estimated at $150m, mostly from crypto

Barron Trump, the 20-year-old youngest son of US President Donald Trump, has an estimated net worth of about $150 million (200 billion won).

According to US financial media outlet Barchart, Forbes estimated Barron's wealth at that figure in an analysis published in October last year. The same analysis valued first lady Melania Trump's net worth at about $20 million, while President Trump's own fortune was put at $7.3 billion.

The bulk of Barron's wealth stems from the Trump family's cryptocurrency venture. Forbes estimated that World Liberty Financial added more than $1.5 billion to the family's collective fortune. Based on that figure, and assuming Barron holds a 10 percent stake in the venture, Forbes calculated his share to be worth about $150 million.

Forbes assessed President Trump as holding a 70 percent stake in the related entity, with the remaining 30 percent divided among other family members. Barron co-founded the company in 2024 alongside his father, his brother Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric Trump.

World Liberty Financial issued its own cryptocurrency, WLFI. Entities affiliated with the Trump family were allocated about 22.5 billion WLFI tokens, and the company sold a portion to investors to raise cash.

Forbes estimated that Barron netted about $80 million after taxes from token sales. Unsold tokens were also counted as assets. Barron's share amounts to about 2.3 billion tokens, or 10 percent of the total allocation.

Forbes discounted the value of Barron's remaining tokens to $45 million because they are currently locked and cannot be traded. Once unlocked, they could fetch more than $525 million, Forbes said.

The $150 million figure does not mean Barron holds that amount in cash. It represents the combined estimated value of assets and stakes he holds in connection with the cryptocurrency venture.

The WLFI market price has fallen more than 80 percent from its peak in September last year.
