(NewsNation) — Barron Trump’s net worth has skyrocketed to over $150 million since his father took office earlier this year, according to a recent report by Forbes.
Born in 2006 to Donald and Melania Trump, 19-year-old Barron is a sophomore in college at New York University’s Stern School of Business. A source told People Magazine that Barron spent this past summer “meeting with business partners” and “striking deals.”
President Donald Trump’s youngest son’s financial success is primarily attributed to his involvement with a Trump family cryptocurrency venture.
