WASHINGTON, DC: Eric​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Trump, the son of Donald Trump, has basically become very wealthy, if not quite, in the wake of his father's return to power, and his fortune is said to have multiplied by a factor of ten, as per Forbes. ​‍​‌‍​‍‌

For​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ the past nine years, Eric has been running his father's business, but he is not a shareholder in any of the properties that the Trump Organization is famous for.

However, the 41-year-old is now estimated to be worth around $400 million, which is more than that of any of his brothers and ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌sisters.

Cryptocurrency ventures behind Eric Trump's booming wealth

Eric​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Trump's biggest wealth gain is from his role at American Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency-mining company he helped co-found, which is where most of his money is.

According to Forbes, as of the end of September 2025, American Bitcoin was in possession of 3,418 Bitcoin, which is approximately worth $320 million at the present market prices; therefore, just his 7.3% share is valued at around $160 million.

Just by adding his share in another Trump family project, World Liberty Financial, the figures become even more staggering.

Forbes reckons that the combination of his stakes in various crypto ventures and other assets has elevated his net worth to something of the order of 10 times what it was at the time of his father's return to the White ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌House.

Eric Trump's fortune looked very different before Trump's return to power

Eric’s​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ American Bitcoin fortune was initially spun from American Data Centers, which was a mysterious company that he started with his elder brother, Donald Trump Jr, in February. Shortly after, ADC merged with Hut 8, a Bitcoin mining operation, to create American Bitcoin.



In May, American Bitcoin revealed a deal, which was finalized in early September, with Gryphon, a publicly traded crypto mining company.

Eric, Don Jr, and Barron Trump are all listed as cofounders. As per Forbes, the POTUS' second-oldest son would have received about $80 million in cash after taxes from sales of the coins, along with $36 million of his own tokens and $19 million of USD1, World Liberty’s stablecoin business.

His​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ fortune was very different before the crypto boom. In fact, most of his money was from his job at the Trump Organization, where he got a salary, and he had some small investments in real estate as late as 2024.

He's got a few residences, a house in Florida, a penthouse apartment in Manhattan, and two other properties in New York. 



Reached for comment by Forbes about his current net worth, Eric disputed the valuation but declined to explain why.
