- Forbes released a breakdown of how much several Trump family members are worth
- The president’s net worth grew by more than $3 billion over the last year, thanks mostly to cryptocurrency and licensing deals
- Trump’s youngest son, Barron, was the one to introduce his father to crypto and is reportedly out-earning some of his adult family members
President Donald Trump‘s net worth grew by more than $3 billion over the last year, but one of his children may have an even brighter financial future.
Forbes recently broke down the investments and earnings of most members of the president’s nuclear family, revealing how they each continue to line their pockets, mostly thanks to cryptocurrency and overseas business deals.
The family’s crypto investments seem to have started with Barron, who, as a 19-year-old NYU sophomore, already boasts a net worth of about $150 million, according to the outlet.
He’s the one who turned the rest of the family onto the value in token sales, Donald revealed while launching his World Liberty Financial crypto company last fall. “He’s got four wallets or something, and I’m saying, ‘What is a wallet?’ ” the president, 79, recalled with a laugh.

In addition to his estimated net worth, Barron also has billions of locked-up tokens, which Forbes only counts a fraction of because they can’t yet be traded. The publication estimates that, when they unlock, Barron could stand to gain as much as $525 million.
Crypto is also a major earner for Don Jr., 47, and Eric, 41, who are worth $500 million and $750 million, respectively. The brothers co-own the crypto mining venture American Bitcoin and are stakeholders in World Liberty Financial. They also traveled to the Middle East in May to close a deal to license a Trump golf course in Qatar.
While Barron has yet to out-earn his older brothers, he does have a leg up on his eldest sister, Ivanka, 43. Forbes lists her individual net worth at $100 million, however, Ivanka’s husband, Jared Kushner, is the second-richest on the Trump family list.
Jared, 44, broke the billion-dollar mark in 2025 thanks to his private equity firm, Affinity Partners; his family’s real estate firm, Kushner Companies; and Middle Eastern backers he formed relationships with during his time as a presidential adviser during Trump’s first term.

Barron also out-earned his mother this year, with Melania, 55, making around $20 million in what Forbes describes as “typical First Lady ways (books, speeches, a documentary),” as well as her own meme coin.
Barron’s 31-year-old sister, Tiffany, and her 28-year-old husband, Michael Boulos, were conspicuously left off of Forbes‘ list. Though Tiffany, a Georgetown Law graduate, has not been public about her career, Boulos himself is a business executive who hails from a wealthy family.
Of course, as the head of the family, Donald is at the top of the list with a soaring net worth of $7.3 billion. His $3 billion gain from the year prior put him at No. 201 on the Forbes 400 list, 118 spots higher than in 2024. His crypto efforts, split between World Liberty Financial and a meme coin, accounted for $2 billion, while his international licensing business added another large chunk.
It seems that Barron is off to a good start when it comes to following in their father’s financial footsteps.
A social source told PEOPLE in August that the young business student spent his summer break in meetings with partners, developing tech projects and setting up deals and plans to start his own business.
“Barron has been actively working on his own financial interests and has spent time with others who he is involved with in that area,” the source said of his summer agenda.

In January, a political source close to the Trump family told PEOPLE that Barron is “interested in business in general, developing properties, making money and being involved in successful projects.”
“He has his own ideas and understands what people of his age are looking for. He is quite entrepreneurial, bright and not shy about getting his own career in gear,” the source added.
