Reports indicate that Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump, amassed an impressive $40 million by trading cryptocurrency tokens. At just 19 years old, Barron has already secured roughly $25 million after taxes, achieving self-made millionaire status.
His wealth was generated through the sale of crypto coins via World Liberty Financial, a family enterprise that was established nine months prior after Barron encouraged his father to venture into cryptocurrency investments, according to Forbes.
Barron is recognized as a ‘co-founder’ of World Liberty Financial alongside his father and his older siblings, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.
The investment strategies proposed by the New York University student have been notably fruitful. The entire Trump family has reaped the rewards from engaging in the buying and trading of digital currencies. President Trump mentioned that Barron initiated his cryptocurrency investments even before him.
“Barron possesses extensive knowledge about this,” Trump shared in a September interview. “He’s a young man, yet he’s well-versed—he discusses his [crypto] wallets. He’s got four wallets or so, and I’m thinking, ‘What is a wallet?’”
In March, World Liberty announced it had sold a staggering $550 million worth of Trump tokens. Reports state that Trump earned $57 million from these token sales.
Previously, Trump had labeled Bitcoin as “a scam,” but he has since revised his viewpoint. His net worth has reportedly doubled since the commencement of his 2024 campaign, with his total asset valuation exceeding $5.4 billion.
