Justin Sun, the crypto billionaire behind Tron and BitTorrent, has become one of the richest “crypto bro” even as the crypto winter continues.
Data compiled by Bloomberg shows that Sun has a net worth of over $10.3 billion, down by over $3.16 billion from where he started the year.
Forbes, another publication, places his net worth at $8.5 billion, making him the fifth-richest self-made under-40 person globally.
Justin Sun derives most of his fortune from Tron, the cryptocurrency giant valued at over $26 billion. Tron is a layer-1 network best known for handling most of the USDT transactions, which makes it the most profitable chain in crypto.

Data compiled by TokenTerminal shows that Tron has over 16.5 million active addresses and made over $3.6 billion in fees in 2025. It uses most of the network fees to repurchase TRX tokens, which make it a highly deflationary coin.
According to Bloomberg, Sun owns 60 billion TRX tokens, currently worth over $16.8 billion. It then applies a 75% discount in calculating his net worth.
More data shows that Sun also owns other tokens worth billions. Data compiled by Arkham shows that his crypto portfolio is worth over $1.6 billion. It includes over 4,000 Bitcoin,s currently valued at over $353 million, 577 million WLFI tokens worth $77 million, and Ethereum tokens worth over $500 million.
Justin Sun has also made other large investments in the crypto industry. For example, he owns large stakes in crypto exchanges Poloniex and HTX, which handle bilions in transactions a day.
Sun is part of a small group of crypto billionaires. Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, is the wealthiest people in the industry with a net worth of over $50 billion, making him the 34th richest people in the world.
The other wealthiest people in the crypto industry are Ripple Labs Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb, Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong, and Gemini’s Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.
