The Donald Trump Jr. net worth figure of $123 million is right on track for a Trump son or daughter. Donald Trump Sr.’s net worth of $5.18 billion is 43 times bigger than son Donald Jr.’s net worth. Donald Jr.’s net worth is 50% bigger than brother Eric Trump’s $80 million. That checks out, since Eric Trump started work for the Trump Organization in 2006, six years after Donald Junior. Sister Ivanka Trump began working for the organization in 2005, but her net worth independent of her husband is about the same as her older brother’s thanks to one important factor. Namely, Ivanka maintains her own luxury jewelry business on the side and has done so since 2007. She also worked successfully as a high fashion model starting in 1997.

Tiffany Trump and Barron Trump aren’t yet old enough to hold official positions with the Trump Organization, so the calculated net worth of each is considerably lower.

Donald Jr.’s wealth started at an estimated $4.6 million in 2000. It has grown significantly since then. Estimates place his average salary at $11.76 million per year.

Donald Trump Jr. graduated from UPenn’s Wharton School of Business with a B.S. in Economics. He married model Vanessa Kay Haydon in 2005 at his father’s Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Florida. Haydon studied psychology at Marymount Manhattan College. Donald Trump Jr. and his wife aren’t distinguishable from tens of millions of middle class Americans in terms of education.
