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 Dad’s new crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, racking up an estimated $39 million pre-tax (around $25 million after taxes). A recent disclosure shows Donald holds 52.5% of the project while 22.5% is split among his kids—if Don Jr., Eric and Barron each own 7.5%, token sales beyond the first $30 million (the venture moved about $550 million total) translate to roughly $39 million apiece.

Barron’s now listed as a “web3 ambassador” and cofounder, joining his siblings in the Trump family biz but at a much faster clip. Even with a partial stake sale in early 2025 potentially tweaking the final haul, this crypto payday already dwarfs what his older brothers and sister made at the same age—and should cover his NYU Stern tuition (nearly $100 K a year) with spare change.
