One of them, Kai, Donald Jr.’s eldest, is quickly becoming popular among her peers and reportedly already has a massive net worth before she’s even reached adulthood.
However, Kai’s net worth isn’t measured in the same way as her grandfather’s is, who is currently worth $6.1 billion, and is measured in NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) stock, as per Daily Mail. So how exactly has the 17-year-old amassed a net worth?
Kai Trump’s worth $1.2 million in NIL deals
As mentioned above, Kai Trump’s net worth isn’t measured the same way as celebrities. According to On3, a website that lists all news about college and high school sports, as well as recruiting and NIL deals, Kai is estimated to be worth $1.2 million in NIL deals.
This estimation is measured through three factors: performance, influence, and exposure. Kai Trump seems to have taken after her paternal grandfather as a golf enthusiast. Indeed, she won the ladies' club championship at her grandfather's golf course in Palm Beach, Florida, and has played with top players.
Per On3’s ranking, the 17-year-old is ranked number one in women's high school golf and number 81 in On3's NIL ranking of the top 100 high school and college athletes.
As reported by Daily Mail, Kai signed her first NIL deal in January with Leaf Trading Cards, with each pack of cards allegedly retailing for $199.99 and each containing one random autograph card.
Once Kai finishes high school at the Benjamin School, a prestigious $37,000-per-year high school in Palm Beach, she plans to attend the University of Miami. Speaking about her commitment to the university, she thanked her grandfather for his support:
I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support.
Aside from the net worth she's racked up in NIL deals, Kai is also thriving online.
Kai Trump has amassed a following on social media
As with many young celebrities, social media is the place to gather a following. Kai Trump currently has over five million social media followers across TikTok, Instagram, and X.
Moreover, in the autumn of 2024, the golf enthusiast launched a YouTube channel, focusing mainly on golf content. She shared her first video, A Regular Day In The Life Of Kai Trump, on October 22, 2024. The video now has over 3.1 million views, and her account has 1 million subscribers.
Some of her content strays away from golf. On January 22, 2025, she posted a video about her grandfather, Donald Trump, becoming President again, which has 4.1 million views.
More recently, she shared a video with her father, Donald Jr. In the video, she briefly talks about what it’s like being a teenager growing up in the limelight.
The father and daughter are playing golf, and he asks what it’s like for her to be surrounded by secret services again. She explained that it’s ‘tough’ as she’s in high school and wants her privacy, but she knows that she will ‘never’ have the same level of privacy as other people her age. But she also says:
I wouldn't trade my life for anything. I wouldn't switch it, you know? It is what it is. You try to deal with it.
