Barron Trump’s surprising net worth has been revealed — and the president’s youngest son is now wealthier than First Lady Melania Trump at only 19.
A Rising NYU Student
Barron is currently studying at NYU’s Stern School of Business and recently moved to the school’s Washington, D.C. campus to remain close to his family in the White House. Despite being a college freshman, he already has a financial foundation most adults never reach.
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.
