The WLFI website shows that Barron founded the company with his dad, brothers Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. and five other co-founders.

WLFI launched a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar called USD1 in March of this year. Forbes reported that the market cap of the currency is worth somewhere around $2.6 billion. This means Barron’s share of USD1’s worth could be in the ballpark of $34 million.
His Company Made a Lucrative Business Deal
WLFI has continued to make moves that have helped boost Barron’s net worth. In August, WLFI made a deal with healthcare company Alt5 Sigma. According Forbes, Alt5 bought $717 million of WLFI tokens, which amounted to around $41 million (after taxes) going to Barron.
Is Barron Worth More Than His Mother?
Obviously, first lady Melania Trump and President Trump share their fortune now. 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.
