Trump Financial Disclosures Reveal Barron Trump's Potential $40 Million Windfall From Crypto Project

Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump, may have reportedly earned almost $40 million from his family's cryptocurrency venture.

What Happened: In September 2024, Trump announced the establishment of World Liberty Financial, a crypto-focused company. Forbes reports that in a promotional interview at the time, Trump said, "Barron knows so much about this... He talks about his wallet. He's got four wallets or something, and I'm saying, ‘What is a wallet?'" The venture's "gold paper" mentioned Barron as a Web3 ambassador and cofounder, along with Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.

As per recent financial disclosures, Donald Trump owns 52.5% of the company, while unnamed family members hold another 22.5%.

If divided evenly among Barron and his two brothers, that would give each a 7.5% stake. With at least $550 million in token sales, out of which $520 million reportedly went to the owners, each brother may have received around $39 million before taxes, leaving Barron with an approximate $25 million after-tax fortune.

Yeah, he's "linked in" to all the tech bros on social media, so no doubt he had a hand in this scam.

That said, OMG, Barron. Do SOMETHING with that hair. What the hell is THAT supposed to be? You are 18, not 80. Save some grease for your Dad's French fries, will ya?
