Crypto business boosted Trump's eldest son's net worth to approximately $300 million in one year.

Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of Donald Trump, has seen his personal wealth surge over the past year, jumping from approximately $50 million in 2024 to about $300 million currently, primarily driven by his various investments in the cryptocurrency sector. Reports indicate that World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project in which Trump Jr. and the family are deeply involved, has sold approximately $1.4 billion worth of tokens. According to public documents, the Trump family was initially entitled to a percentage of the related revenue; if calculated equally among family members, Donald Trump Jr. alone could receive approximately $80 million in after-tax cash gains from this project. Furthermore, World Liberty Financial's stablecoin business has also brought him an estimated increase in value of about $19 million, and his unvested token holdings are worth approximately $34 million after a discount. Another core asset is American Bitcoin, a Bitcoin mining company he co-founded with his brother Eric Trump in March of this year. While the specific shareholding percentage was not disclosed, analysts believe it ranges from 1% to 5%, and under higher assumptions, this portion of the assets could be worth close to $80 million. Besides the crypto space, Trump Jr. also has multiple gains in traditional and quasi-financial sectors, including approximately $20 million in book value from the IPO of his SPAC (Special Purchasing Company of the Americas), and equity investments in several politically related companies. Furthermore, his real estate, brand licensing businesses, and overseas licensing transactions continue to contribute revenue. Forbes points out that crypto assets have become a key engine for Donald Trump Jr.'s wealth growth, and he has repeatedly stated publicly that the family currently holds a long-term bullish stance on the crypto space, and related investments are still underway.
