Barron Trump, the 19-year-old son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, has emerged as an unexpected new figure in the cryptocurrency world, amassing a personal fortune estimated at over $150 million (approximately ₩200 billion) through his family’s digital asset venture.
Much of Barron’s wealth stems from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Trump family’s cryptocurrency company. His rapid accumulation of assets has reportedly pushed his net worth beyond that of his mother, Melania Trump, placing him among the youngest wealthy figures within the Trump family.
WLFI was quietly co-founded in late 2024 but gained attention rapidly after the 2024 presidential election. Momentum built quickly when Justin Sun, a high-profile tech billionaire, invested $75 million(approximately ₩100 billion) into the project. By August 2025, WLFI reported more than $675 million(approximately ₩900 billion) in token sales.
Barron holds 2.25 billion WLFI tokens, equivalent to 10% of the Trump family’s allocation.
His stake alone is valued at around $45 million(approximately ₩60 billion), though some estimates suggest it could be higher depending on market fluctuation.
In addition to his token holdings, Barron reportedly earned about $38 million after taxes (approximately ₩50 billion) through early token sales and equity-related trades. His involvement in the crypto space extends further. In March 2025, WLFI launched a stablecoin, USD1, which has since grown to an estimated market capitalization of $2.5 billion (approximately ₩3.3 trillion). Barron’s share in the stablecoin project is estimated to be worth roughly $34 million (approximately ₩45 billion).
According to individuals familiar with the project, Barron was the first member of the Trump family to actively advocate for cryptocurrency adoption. He is said to have introduced the concept of digital wallets to his father and played a key role in persuading the family to support WLFI during its early stages.
With these developments, Barron Trump is no longer viewed solely as the youngest child of a former president, but as a rising figure within the Trump family’s evolving business portfolio and the broader cryptocurrency market.
