Barron Trump just completed his freshman year of university.
Within just a year of taking introductory business classes at NYU, President Donald Trump’s youngest son managed to accumulate a substantial cryptocurrency fortune that could make even some Silicon Valley executives envious.
At 19, Barron is said to have amassed up to $40 million, primarily due to his involvement with a family-affiliated crypto company known as World Liberty Financial.
The venture, co-founded by Trump and his three adult sons, has quickly exploded in value, selling at least $550 million of tokens.
After the first $30 million in sales, the money flowed directly from investors and into the Trump family members’ bank accounts.
Barron is considered one of the primary beneficiaries of this financial flow and holds the executive position of ‘Web3 ambassador,’ sharing this status with his half-brothers Don Jr. and Eric.
Each of Trump’s sons is believed to hold a 7.5 percent stake in the company. There are some disclosure and partial interest sales that could complicate the overall take-home pay from the venture.
But at just 19 years old, he appears to have earned far more than his older siblings did at the same age — thanks to a digital gold rush that’s become the centerpiece of the Trump family’s modern empire.
Barron Trump, the President’s youngest son, reportedly raked in an impressive sum in digital earnings
The college student may have raked in $25 million after taxes while his father returned to the White House, according to Forbes.
Barron, who reportedly introduced his father to the concept of digital wallets, has been credited by Trump as the family’s crypto brain.
‘Barron’s a young guy, but he knows it — he talks about his wallet,” Trump said in a previous interview.
‘He’s got four wallets or something, and I’m saying, “What is a wallet?”‘
President Trump is also making a healthy sum, too.
A newly released 234-page financial disclosure revealed the President raked in more than $57 million last year from cryptocurrency ventures.
Trump himself owns a 52.5 percent stake in the company, per his disclosure.
He also made millions off retail offerings, like gold-plated shoes, high-end watches, collectible coffee table books, and electric guitars.
Trump watches are another retail avenue of revenue for the Trump empire
President Trump had long railed against the Biden administration for allegedly allowing the the then-President’s son, Hunter, to profit off his White House proximity
But the cryptocurrency is ruffling the feathers of White House watchdogs.
Investments in the currency are shielded from public view, making skeptics nervous about potential foreign investment or unseen lobbying via trades in the Trump-branded coin.
In May, the President hosted a lavish dinner with some of the biggest investors in his crypto empire.
The White House has long argued that President Trump remains walled off from political corruption because he ceded financial power of his profit-making organizations to his sons.
But that argument also came after President Trump railed against the Biden administration for allowing the former President’s son, Hunter, 55, to allegedly profit from his closeness to the White House.
‘Ultimately, no matter what it is, I always put the country way ahead of the business,’ President Trump said, adding ‘You can’t say that about Hunter.’
World Liberty Financial didn’t immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
