Barron Trump is already worth $150 million at age 19 — here's why

Barron Trump, President Donald Trump's youngest son, is only 19. But his net worth, according to Nasdaq, is already $150 million.

In an article published by Nasdaq.com on December 14, reporter Brooke Barley lays out some things that have pushed Barron Trump's net worth to that amount. His father, meanwhile, has a net worth of $6 billion at 79.

"President Trump's son, Barron, is barely out of high school," Barley explains. "It makes sense how (President) Trump made his money, but why does his 19-year-old son Barron have a net worth of $150 million?"

According to Barley, things that have increased Barron Trump's net worth include: (1) "he co-founded a cryptocurrency company," (2) he has "a stake in a valuable company product" — the stablecoin USD1 — and (3) a "lucrative business deal" with the health care company Alt5 Sigma."

Barley notes that Barron Trump's net worth has surpassed that of his mother, First Lady Melania Trump.

"Obviously, First Lady Melania Trump and President Trump share their fortune now," Barley reports. "But, how much is Melania worth on her own? Before she was first lady, Melania was a model. She then went on to launch a jewelry line on QVC. As for what she is worth now, Celebrity Net Worth reported that Melania is worth $50 million. That would make her worth $100 million less than her son Barron."

Barron William Trump is the youngest child of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. Born on March 20, 2006, he is significantly younger than his half-siblings from his father's previous marriages.

Barron grew up primarily in New York City, residing in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. He spent much of his childhood in the public eye due to his father's prominence in business and media. Unlike his older siblings, Barron maintained a relatively low public profile during his father's first presidency (2017-2021).

Barron attended private schools in New York, including Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School. He later transferred to St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Delaware. In 2024, he enrolled at New York University, marking his transition to higher education
