Barron Trump's Crypto Fortune Surpasses Mother's Net Worth
Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump, has built a $150 million crypto fortune at just 20 years old. This makes him wealthier than his mother, First Lady Melania Trump, who is estimated to be worth around $20 million.
The majority of Barron's fortune comes from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency venture started by the Trump family that has added over $1.5 billion to their net worth. As a co-founder and 'DeFi visionary' of WLFI, Barron holds a 10% stake in the project, valued at approximately $150 million.
The Trumps licensed the family name for their cryptocurrency ventures rather than investing their own capital, promoted them through social media and public appearances, and collected revenue as investors piled in. The windfall from these ventures netted the Trumps over $1 billion in 2025, with over $520 million coming from the sale of WLFI tokens and more than $635 million in royalties from the Official Trump memecoin.
