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

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: Barron Trump, just 19, has quietly become one of the biggest beneficiaries of his dad’s new crypto play, World Liberty Financial. A recent disclosure shows Donald holds 52.5% of the venture and “family members” another 22.5%. If that stake was split equally among Barron, Don Jr. and Eric, each would’ve pocketed roughly $39 million (about $25 million after taxes) from token sales so far—far outpacing what his older siblings made at the same age.

What’s next? There’s some wiggle room because the Trumps apparently sold part of their stake earlier this year, so final tallies could shift. Either way, Barron’s cash windfall comes just as he’s headed to NYU Stern, ensuring tuition (and then some) isn’t an issue.
