Trump's eldest son's net worth skyrocketed sixfold in one year, with crypto assets becoming the core driving force

On December 12, according to Fortune magazine, at this year’s Las Vegas Bitcoin Conference, Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of Donald Trump, publicly stated that “cryptocurrency has become a core part of our business.” The latest estimates reveal a clear wealth story behind this statement—his net worth has skyrocketed from approximately $50 million in 2024 to about $300 million, mainly thanks to a series of crypto asset ventures. The primary sources of his wealth growth include: World Liberty Financial (WLFI), WLFI stablecoin operations, unvested World Liberty tokens, and equity in American Bitcoin mining companies. Donald Trump Jr. has also benefited greatly from non-crypto businesses: his 2 million shares in SPAC company New America Acquisition I Corp. surged past $10 last week, instantly earning him over $20 million in unrealized gains. He also owns stocks worth about $10 million in several politically affiliated companies. Additionally, his two properties in New York and Jupiter, Florida, increased in value by approximately $500,000 each over the past year, with a total estimated value of $12 million. Meanwhile, following the appellate court’s reversal of the Trump Organization’s fraud fines, his net assets increased by about $5 million.
