Despite her tender age of 18, Kai Trump’s staggering net worth easily surpasses the presidential salary of her grandfather, United States President Donald Trump.
The young social media sensation and amateur golfer is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump; the latter is currently in a relationship with Tiger Woods, who has sunk to a new low in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Currently a student at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida, Kai recently committed to playing college golf at the prestigious University of Miami. The teenager will be teeing it up at the same LPGA Tour event as WNBA sensation Caitlin Clark next month.

With a combined following of 4.5 million across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, Kai has certainly made a name for herself online. Her content varies from golf tutorials to glimpses into her family life, and it’s proven to be a lucrative venture.
As per CEO Today, as of February 2025, Kai’s net worth sits at an astounding $21 million, far exceeding her grandfather’s $400,000 presidential salary. It’s reported that a significant chunk of this figure – $16 million – comes from a trust fund set up by her family. However, she’s also raked in millions through her own efforts.
Modeling contracts, endorsement deals, and social media partnerships have reportedly earned Kai an annual income of $2.5 million. Additionally, thanks to her budding golf career, sports valuation website On3 estimates her name, image, and likeness (NIL) earnings at $1.2 million.

The substantial sum puts Kai in an elite circle, regarding the most marketable female college athletes in the NIL rankings. During her assessment period, she ranked just behind former collegiate stars Paige Bueckers, Olivia Dunne, and LSU sensation Flau’Jae Johnson.
She’s definitely demonstrated her talent on the course, having participated in six tournaments throughout her amateur journey. While taking part in the Medalist Tour junior golf circuit, Kai secured a seventh-place showing at Martin Downs, along with 14th-place finishes at Fazio and Lost Lake Golf Club last year.
She’s poised to elevate her competitive level after revealing on Tuesday that she’s slated to make her LPGA Tour debut next month. Trump will tee off at the Pelican Golf Club in November to participate in The Annika Driven By Gainbridge.
Addressing her 910,000 X followers, she declared: “What’s up guys, I am thrilled to announce that I will be making my LPGA Tour debut in November at The Annika Driven By Gainbridge. The Annika is at the Pelican Golf Club.
“It has been a dream of mine to compete at the professional level, and I’d like to thank the Pelican Golf Club for the invitation. I’m looking forward to teeing it up and competing with the best players in the world at one of the most premier venues on tour.
“I will see you guys Nov. 10-16 at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. I’ll see you guys there.”
Ricki Lasky, the chief tour business and operations officer at the LPGA, believes Trump’s participation will only enhance the sport of golf due to her extensive fan base.
“Sponsor invitations are an important way to spotlight emerging talent and bring new attention to our tournaments and the LPGA,” she said. “Kai’s broad following and reach are helping introduce golf to new audiences, especially among younger fans. We’re excited to see her take this next step in her journey.”
