Trump Financial Disclosures Reveal Barron Trump's Potential $40 Million Windfall From Crypto Project [View all]

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.
