Barron Trump may have made millions from family’s lucrative crypto firm: report

Barron Trump’s Potential $40 Million Windfall From Family’s Crypto Venture

Barron Trump, the youngest son of the 47th President, may have earned millions from the sale of crypto tokens linked to the family’s venture into digital assets. According to a report by Forbes, the 19-year-old New York University student could have received around $40 million, $25 million after taxes, from the sale of digital assets by World Liberty Financial.

World Liberty Financial, a Trump family firm launched nine months ago, has proven to be a financial success. The firm announced the sale of $550 million worth of tokens in March, with President Trump himself reporting $57 million in earnings from token sales. The real estate mogul holds a 75% stake in his umbrella company, DT Marks Defi LLC, with unnamed “third parties” holding the remaining 25%.

Barron Trump is listed as a “co-founder” of World Liberty Financial alongside the President, Eric, and Donald Trump Jr. Forbes speculates that Barron may own a 7.5% stake in the Delaware-based firm, similar to his stake in the Trump Organization’s Washington DC hotel.

Despite the lack of Barron Trump’s name in the company’s SEC filing, the venture also includes Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and his son, Zachary, as business partners. An analysis by Bloomberg estimates President Trump’s net worth has doubled to over $5.4 billion since the start of his 2024 campaign.
