Barron Trump's net worth has been revealed, and people are not too happy about it.
The 19-year-old, who is reportedly 'very close' to revealing his faith, is said to have a whopping bank balance which has ruffled more than a few feathers.
Currently a sophomore at NYU, Barron has much more money than your average student, and we doubt he's spending his university days living off instant ramen.
According to Forbes, his dad has a staggering $6.3 million net worth, meanwhile Barron is reportedly worth a whopping $150 million, with the majority coming from the Trump family cryptocurrency business.

Donald Trump often proudly shows off his youngest son - who stands at around 6ft 9in - and has bragged about how he taught him about crypto.
Barron apparently taught his dad what a crypto 'wallet' is, before going on to set up a cryptocurrency company called World Liberty Financial alongside his father and older brothers last year.
It was founded just months before the 2024 US election, where Trump would go on to claim victory.
Popularity of the company exploded following Trump's win, and according to Forbes, the firm added more than $1.5 billion to the family fund.
Barron is reported to earn 10 percent of the company, worth $150 million, an amount that's only set to increase.
According to the financial disclosures Trump had to file when he became president, he owns 70 percent of Trump Marks Defi LLC, the company which holds the family's stakes in World Liberty Financial.
By August of 2024, World Liberty had sold a reported $675 million worth of tokens.
Critics have hit out at reports of the 19-year-old's net worth, calling it a 'scam' that he has so much money.
One user wrote: "I wonder how soon it'll be before people start attributing his wealth & success to a strong work ethic, intelligence, and keen business acumen?"
A second claimed: "Never worked a day in his life."
A third penned: "Thanks to his father."
Others praised Barron, claiming he could be the future president as one user said: "You’re looking at the President in waiting right there. He will continue the Trump Presidential dynasty when he is anointed number 49."
Another fan insisted: "He's a brilliant businessman and everyone is just jealous."
Meanwhile, someone else pointed out: "He was born with a billionaire father. Obviously he has money."
Either way, that amount is sure to just keep increasing.
