Forbes Puts Trump Family Wealth at $10 Billion After Year of Crypto-Fueled Gains

Forbes credits a rapid pivot to crypto, with WLFI activity delivering outsized paper gains.

Overview

  • The family’s combined fortune is now estimated at roughly $10 billion, nearly doubling since the 2024 election.
  • Donald Trump’s wealth stands at about $7.3 billion after a $3 billion annual jump, with roughly $2 billion tied to crypto and an additional $500 million boost from an appeals court vacating his civil-fraud penalty.
  • Crypto ventures dominate the gains, including World Liberty Financial and a Trump memecoin; Eric Trump’s stake in American Bitcoin briefly made him a billionaire before settling to an estimated $750 million with a cut of WLFI token sales.
  • Forbes’ individual tallies include Donald Trump Jr. at about $500 million, Barron Trump at roughly $150 million with large locked token holdings, Ivanka Trump at approximately $100 million, Melania Trump above $20 million, and Jared Kushner around $1 billion via Affinity Partners.
  • Reporting also highlights scrutiny of foreign ties, including a New York Times report of a $2 billion Emirati investment in WLFI, as well as questions about liquidity and the volatility of crypto-derived valuations.
