World Liberty Financial (WLF), the cryptocurrency project of the Trump family might have made Barron Trump a multimillionaire at a very early age but the IRS has cut a significant portion of his income as taxes. WLF was announced back in September 2024 and Barron Trump along with Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were appointed as ‘Web3 ambassador.’
Upon turning 19 years, while Barron’s potential earning from WLF stands at $40 million, after the IRS tax, he might be left only with $25 million, as reported by Forbes. It should be noted here that the company mentions all three of Trump’s sons as co-founders.

Trump’s financial disclosure was filed on June 13, which hinted that he and his family members have 52.5% and 22.5% stakes in the company, respectively. If the stake is divided equally among all three of the brothers, that would mean that they have 7.5% ownership stake, similar to what they had with the Trump D.C. hotel.
As reported by The Wall, “WLF has sold at least $550 million in tokens, with revenue reportedly going directly to owners, after the first $30 million. A partial sale of the venture occurred in early 2025, which may have an impact on their total earnings.”
While Barron Trump is still a student at NYU, the income he had from WLF shows how his shares in the family business will give him access and insight to practical financial gain from a very early age. The only son of Donald Trump and Melania Trump, Barron likes to maintain a low profile and does not make much public appearance until it is important.
For instance, Trump’s presidential campaign saw Barron Trump participating and he was extremely well accepted by the public, showing the kind of hold he has on them since this very early age. According to Melania, he also helped his father with the presidential campaign and helped him win.
However, Barron skipped Trump’s much anticipated birthday parade, which raised questions about his present relationship with his father. Trump has always been a rather strict father with Barron and while the father-son duo have always maintained a good public appearance, skipping his father’s birthday has given rise to inevitable questions.

Moreover, Barron’s name also got dragged in a recent fiasco because of his father’s decision to go after Harvard. As the American President and the university authorities got into some serious legal battle, rumors of Barron being rejected started to swirl. Some claimed that Trump’s real anger against the institution came from the fact Harvard denied admission to his son.
However, Melania came forward and clarified that Barron had never applied to Harvard and therefore there was no question of being rejected. As Barron Trump keeps coming under the spotlight despite maintaining a low profile, it now remains to be seen if he has anything to say about the IRS tax cut of his money.
