Barron Trump’s astonishing net worth has come to light, showing that the president’s youngest son is now wealthier than First Lady Melania Trump — all at just 19 years old.
The teenager, the only child of Donald and Melania Trump, is currently studying at NYU’s Stern School of Business, one of the most prestigious business programs in the United States.
Barron recently relocated from Manhattan to NYU’s Washington, D.C. campus so he could be closer to his family at the White House while he continues his studies.
A Massive Fortune Behind His Education
Even though Barron is pursuing higher education, he already has an enormous financial cushion waiting for him if the academic path ever changes.
President Trump has previously said that Barron played a key role in helping him connect with younger voters during last year’s election. He’s also credited his son with giving him insight into the world of cryptocurrency.
In 2024, Barron co-founded the crypto firm World Liberty Financial with his father and older brothers.
After Donald Trump secured the presidential win, the company’s value exploded — ultimately adding more than $1.5 billion to the Trump family’s wealth.
With Barron holding a 10 percent stake, his personal net worth now stands at an incredible $150 million.
World Liberty Financial’s Rapid Rise
Following Trump’s victory, crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun announced plans to invest $75 million, which helped drive sales even higher.
As of August this year, World Liberty Financial had sold around $675 million worth of tokens. The company has also expanded its reach by partnering with various industries, including a healthcare firm called Alt5 Sigma.
Thanks to these successes, Barron’s personal wealth is now three times larger than his mother’s. Melania Trump’s net worth is still a notable $50 million, primarily from her modeling career.
According to Forbes, Barron’s fortune comes from several sources:
- $38 million from World Liberty tokens
- $34 million from the stablecoin USD1
- $41 million from the Alt5 Sigma partnership
- Plus an additional $45 million in tokens
Life Beyond the Money
Despite his financial achievements, reports earlier this year suggested that Barron had been struggling to adjust socially, finding it difficult to make new friends and sometimes appearing “awkward.”
Still, President Trump insists his youngest son is settling into college life. During a golf outing, Kai — the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr. — asked her grandfather, “How’s Barron doing at NYU?”
“Good, he’s doing good,” Trump replied right away. “He’s a good boy. He loves you.”
The president then added, “He said, ‘Say hello to Kai, dad.’ I said, ‘Why don’t you come out and watch [them play golf]?’ He said – She’s so cute.”
