Forbes Puts Trump Family Wealth at $10 Billion After Crypto-Fueled Surge

Forbes credits cryptocurrency ventures as the main driver, with large sums tied to locked tokens whose real value remains uncertain.

Overview

  • Donald and Melania Trump’s combined fortune is estimated at $7.3 billion, up about $3 billion over the past year.
  • Forbes attributes much of the increase to ventures such as World Liberty Financial and a Trump-branded memecoin, alongside stakes in the American Bitcoin mining firm.
  • Barron Trump, 19, has reportedly earned about $80 million from token sales and holds additional locked tokens that Forbes heavily discounts but says could fetch at least $525 million if released.
  • Eric Trump’s wealth is estimated at roughly $750 million, with gains linked to the September listing of American Bitcoin and other licensing deals, while Donald Trump Jr. holds roles across several conservative-leaning businesses.
  • Coverage notes sizeable gains for Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump through Affinity Partners and Gulf-state investments, while raising ongoing questions about opaque valuations and potential conflicts of interest.
