Barron Trump, son of President Donald Trump, has now earned almost $40 million from cryptocurrency before his 20th birthday.
Barron is left with about $25 million after taxes from a very clever investment, according to Forbes.
This whopping amount is said to far exceed what some of his older siblings made when they were his age.
“Barron knows so much about this,” the president noted, after the Trump family announced a crypto enterprise called World Liberty Financial.
“Barron’s a young guy, but he knows it — he talks about his wallet.”
Barron’s influence in both the public — and private — sector continues to grow, as he’s plugged in with some of the biggest power players in the country.
This included an inaugural luncheon where he spoke with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and then-Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio for over 30 minutes.
Barron, who is currently studying business at New York University, has been ahead of the curve on issues that helped his father recapture the presidency.
Notably, Barron encouraged his father to sit down with Joe Rogan and other influencers for podcast interviews ahead of the 2024 election.
That move ultimately highlighted Kamala Harris and her team’s refusal to sit with Rogan, giving a major advantage to Trump.
President Trump also said he has benefited from Barron telling him about people he had not heard of, helping him connect with younger voters.
Nathan Pearce, the CEO of custom clothing franchise Pearce Bespoke, had nothing but praise for Barron.
“He’s this super-bright kid,” Pearce told Women’s Wear Daily.
“He’s well beyond his years in terms of experience, knowledge, history. He’s just very fascinating to talk to.”
Pearce added, “You know what is another word I would say [about him]? Hospitable. He is down-to-earth, nice as can be, and hospitable.”
It should come as no surprise that there’s already speculation about Barron’s bright future.
Time will tell if he follows in his father’s footsteps.
I've noticed that is a major difference between many well to do families and poor families.
The well to do openly discussing finances and business among family and close friends, giving one another helpful info and ideas.
Among the not so well off, finances, business and the making of money is a big secret.
Often they are jealous of anyone who gets ahead and try to tear down a successful friend or relative.
You even see that behavior on Free Republic.
"Poor people should take rich people to lunch" is an old saying for a good reason.
You learn nothing from the whining of fellow poor people.
You can learn a great deal hanging around rich folks who are actively involved in getting richer, they are often very happy to share knowledge.

?????
The whole Trump Token thing was just a money grab. And it was a classic “pump and dump.” Such an obvious scheme left a sour taste in the mouths of a lot of crypto supporters.
This was clearly Barron’s baby. Eric was just the face of it. In that sense, good for him. Everyone is an adult and they can do with their money whatever they want.
*Young, money, and powerful family can sticky. It can be easy to get in to unethical or illegal business investments and crypto is full of that sort of thing.
Why is there no edit function on this site?
He can now afford a good tax attorney.
Lol.
Time will tell if he follows in his father’s footsteps.
Before 20 making $40million he certainly is ahead of the pace of his fathers business acumen.
Not sure if a laugh or a sigh is called for.

True. A guy I know who became very successful told me that the advice given to him was to “hang around with rich productive business people and listen”. That’s what he did.
He learned to play golf and scrounged up the money to go to the golf course on weekends whenever he could. Businessmen became used to seeing him there and soon included him in their conversations and golf rounds. He said he talked very little but listened to the others.
By his mid-30s he owned his own very successful business.
Barron is not going to have a problem attracting girls. The first Mrs. Barron is going to be a lucky girl.
It must drive young single (liberal) women crazy to know that one of the riches (in their own right) eligible bachelor in Washington DC is a Republican and a Trump.
IF you want to EARN wealth then investing in whatever is the “investment de jour” makes good sense. If you are only interested in protecting your wealth then stable stocks are the way to go. Apparently Barron is in the EARNING stage and betting some of that goes to a stable stocks or two. Interesting how people who don’t have anything because they didn’t DO anything are always jealous and insulting of those who have something because THEY DID!
Democrats will impeach Barron over this in 30 years when he is President.
I really don’t understand cryptocurrency. To me, it seems like a Granfalloon.

What if AI figures out how to create crypto?
Now I foresee a possible future where there are more viable cryptocurrencies than people, each optimized for specific financial functions and niches. I can imagine where AI will automatically generate cryptocurrencies for specific temporary functions such that the cryptocurrency will be created and traded and then closed out at the appropriate time, potentially without a human ever being involved.
“Poor people should take rich people to lunch” is an old saying for a good reason.”
Absolutely amazing results. High knowledge people shared ideas, helped me hone my ideas, and they liked to see others succeed. Also, they were always looking for prospective partners with various skills depending on project needs.
Lunch, golf, fishing, hiking, all good for business!
Lmao, that’s a good one.
