Barron Trump’s Stunning Net Worth Surpasses Melania’s at Just 19
Barron Trump’s astonishing net worth has now been revealed — and the president’s youngest son is officially wealthier than First Lady Melania Trump at just 19.
Rising Star at NYU
Barron, the son of Donald and Melania Trump, currently attends NYU’s Stern School of Business, one of America’s top business programs. He recently moved from Manhattan to the university’s Washington, D.C. campus to stay closer to his family in the White House.
Although he continues his studies, Barron already holds a massive financial cushion if college doesn’t go as planned.
How Barron Built His Wealth
President Trump often credits Barron for helping him connect with younger voters during the last election. The teen also introduced his father to the world of cryptocurrency.
In 2024, Barron co-founded World Liberty Financial with his father and older brothers. After Trump won the 2024 presidential election, the company soared — adding more than $1.5 billion to the Trump family’s finances. Barron owns 10 percent, giving him a personal net worth of $150 million.
Rapid Growth After Major Investments
Following the election, crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun pledged a massive $75 million investment, boosting sales even further. By August, World Liberty Financial had sold $675 million in tokens and secured several cross-industry deals, including one with healthcare group Alt5 Sigma.
According to Forbes, Barron’s net worth includes:
-
$38 million from the World Liberty Tokens deal
-
$34 million from the USD1 stablecoin
-
$41 million from the Alt5 Sigma partnership
-
$45 million in token assets
His total fortune now triples Melania’s estimated $50 million, earned largely from her modeling career.
Life Beyond the Money
Despite his financial success, reports earlier this year suggested Barron struggled to make new friends and occasionally came across as “awkward.” Still, President Trump insists his son is adjusting well at NYU.
During a recent golf outing, Trump responded instantly when asked how Barron was doing:
“Good — he’s doing good. He’s a good boy. He loves you.”
Trump added that Barron even asked him to pass along a hello to Kai, Donald Trump Jr.’s eldest daughter, calling her “so cute.”
