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

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of Donald Trump, has seen his personal wealth increase significantly over the past year, jumping from approximately $50 million in 2024 to approximately $300 million currently, mainly driven by his various investments in the cryptocurrency field.

The report states that World Liberty Financial, a crypto project deeply involved with Trump Jr. and his family, 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 have received approximately $80 million in after-tax cash from this project. Furthermore, World Liberty Financial's stablecoin business has generated an estimated $19 million in added value, and its outstanding token holdings are valued at 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. Although the specific percentage of his shareholding has not been disclosed, analysts believe that his stake ranges from 1% to 5%, and under higher assumptions, this portion of the asset could be worth close to $80 million.

Beyond the crypto space, Trump Jr. has also generated revenue 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), as well as equity investments in several politically related companies. In addition, his real estate, brand licensing, and overseas licensing deals 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 his family currently holds a long-term bullish stance on the crypto space, and related investments are still underway. (Forbes)
