Barron Trump’s net worth has reached astonishing levels, reportedly surpassing that of his mother, First Lady Melania Trump, despite being only 19 years old.
The youngest son of Donald and Melania Trump is currently studying at NYU’s Stern School of Business, one of the most competitive business programs in the United States.
Barron recently relocated from Manhattan to attend classes at NYU’s Washington, D.C. campus, allowing him to stay closer to his family in the White House.
While he continues his education, he already has a financial cushion that would make many full-time investors jealous.
Barron’s Role in the Trump Family’s Crypto Venture
According to President Trump, Barron played a notable role in helping him appeal to younger voters during the presidential campaign.
The teen is also credited with sparking his father’s interest in cryptocurrency.
In 2024, Barron co-founded the crypto company World Liberty Financial alongside his father and older brothers.
After Trump’s election victory, the company surged in value, adding more than $1.5 billion to the Trump family’s financial portfolio.
Barron owns a 10 percent stake, giving him an estimated net worth of $150 million, according to Forbes.

The Impact of Investor Support
Following Trump’s win, crypto figure Justin Sun announced a major $75 million investment in the venture, fueling further growth.
By August, World Liberty Financial had reportedly sold $675 million worth of tokens, while also expanding into various industries, including a partnership with healthcare firm Alt5 Sigma.
These developments placed Barron’s net worth at roughly three times that of Melania Trump, who sits at an estimated $50 million earned primarily through modeling, per HELLO!.
How Barron’s Net Worth Breaks Down
Forbes reports that Barron’s financial standing includes:
- $38 million from the World Liberty tokens deal
- $34 million from the stablecoin USD1
- $41 million from the Alt5 Sigma agreement
- $45 million in tokens
Combined, these assets put Barron in rare company for someone his age.

Reports of a Challenging Adjustment Period
Despite his financial success, earlier reports suggested Barron had struggled socially, finding it difficult to make new friends and sometimes coming across as awkward.
Even so, President Trump says his son is currently thriving at NYU.
During a recent golf outing, Kai Trump – daughter of Donald Trump Jr. – asked the president how Barron was adjusting to college.
“Good, he’s doing good,” Trump replied.
“He’s a good boy. He loves you.”
Trump added that Barron had even asked him to pass along a hello, joking that Barron finds Kai “so cute.”
