- Barron Trump, the youngest son of the former U.S. president, is reported to have earned up to $40 million from his family’s cryptocurrency business, according to Forbes.
- He is listed as a co-founder of World Liberty Financial (WLF), a finance network that launched its own digital token, $WLFI, in late 2024.
- The Trump family reportedly owns 60% of WLF and is eligible to receive 75% of the proceeds from token sales.
- Official documents from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) do not mention Barron Trump as a named owner in the company.
- The Trump family business stated it had sold $550 million in cryptocurrency tokens, with $57 million in earnings reported by Donald Trump in a government ethics filing.
Barron Trump, son of the former U.S. president, is reported to have gained up to $40 million from the family’s recent venture into cryptocurrency. According to Forbes, this comes through his involvement in World Liberty Financial (WLF), a new decentralized finance company established nine months ago.
Forbes reports state that, after taxes, Barron Trump‘s earnings may reach $25 million from the sale of digital assets linked to WLF. The company, headquartered in Delaware, launched its own digital currency, $WLFI, and sold an estimated $550 million worth of tokens in March.
World Liberty Financial claims Donald Trump serves as its “Chief Crypto Advocate.” The Trump family reportedly owns 60% of WLF and is entitled to receive 75% of all token sales proceeds. In a previous interview, Donald Trump commented on his son’s crypto knowledge, stating: “Barron’s a young guy, but he knows it — he talks about his wallet. He’s got four wallets or something, and I’m saying, ‘What is a wallet?’” Cryptocurrency wallets are digital tools that allow users to store and manage their digital coins.
A report from Forbes indicated that Barron Trump holds a 7.5% share in the umbrella company, similar to his stake in a Trump Organization hotel. However, the only U.S. SEC filing from October 2024 does not name Barron as an owner. Instead, it lists Middle East diplomat Steve Witkoff and his son Zachary as business partners.
Last week, Donald Trump declared in an Office of Government Ethics report that he earned $57 million through token sales. The real estate company DT Marks DeFi LLC is owned 75% by Trump and 25% by unnamed third parties, according to official statements.
Recent estimates show that Donald Trump’s net worth has risen since the beginning of his 2024 campaign, now exceeding $5.4 billion, as cited by Bloomberg.
