How Barron Trump earned $40 million from his dad’s crypto venture

While Trump’s oldest children earned a couple million working inside their father’s real-estate empire, Barron Trump earned much more.

TL;DR: At just 19, Barron Trump has quietly cashed in on the family crypto hustle. Forbes reports the Trump clan’s new venture, World Liberty Financial, sold about $550 million in tokens, and leaked filings show the president owns 52.5% of it while family members hold 22.5%. If that stake is split equally among Donald Jr., Eric and Barron (7.5% each), Barron’s cut would be roughly $39 million pre-tax—about $25 million after taxes—far outpacing what his older sibs made at the same age.

What’s wild is that Barron dove headfirst into crypto—and was dubbed a “web3 ambassador”—before his dad even knew what a “wallet” was. He’s now co-founder emeritus of the firm, enrolled at NYU Stern (tuition: $99k/year), and comfortably bankrolling his own future thanks to the digital gold rush.
