Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, has recently stepped into the public eye as he begins his adult life. Born on March 20, 2006, in New York City, Barron is the only child of Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump. Despite his young age, Barron has already experienced a unique childhood, growing up in the spotlight of his father’s presidency.
Throughout his childhood, Barron lived in Trump Tower in New York City, where he had an entire floor to himself. He attended Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on the Upper West Side of Manhattan before his father was elected president. When Donald Trump won the presidency, Barron and his mother Melania waited five months before moving into the White House. Barron finished up fifth grade at Columbia Grammar and then joined his father in Washington, D.C., where he enrolled at St. Andrew’s Episcopal, a prep school in Maryland.
After leaving the White House, Barron moved with his family to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, where he attended Oxbridge Academy for high school. Barron graduated from Oxbridge Academy in May 2024, with his father taking a break from his hush-money trial to attend the ceremony. At 18 years old, Barron is now a freshman at New York University’s Stern School of Business. While he is not living on campus, Barron commutes to school from Trump Tower and is accompanied by Secret Service agents.
Despite living much of his life out of the political spotlight, Barron has recently begun to dip his toes into the world of politics. In May 2024, he was chosen as an at-large delegate for Florida at the Republican National Convention, although he ultimately did not participate due to a previous engagement. Barron attended his first campaign rally in July 2024 in Doral, Florida, where he was seen smiling and waving to supporters.
As Barron navigates his young adulthood, many are curious about his personal life and future aspirations. He is reportedly fluent in Slovenian, his mother’s first language, and has recently joined social media to engage with his father’s supporters. With his unique upbringing and emerging role in the public eye, Barron Trump’s journey is sure to be one filled with intrigue and speculation.
