On Monday, American businessman Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, marking his second term as the nation’s leader. Among the attendees at the historic inauguration were his wife, Melania Trump, and their son, Barron Trump.
Barron Trump, now 18 years old, has experienced significant changes since his father’s first presidency, including his education, residence, and the transition into adulthood.
Here’s everything you need to know about the youngest member of the Trump family as they return to the White House.
How Old Is Barron Trump?
Born on March 20, 2006, Barron Trump is 18 years old. As the only child of Donald and Melania Trump, Barron has garnered public attention, especially for his impressive height.
Barron has gone viral multiple times for his towering stature, with recent searches revealing he stands at an astonishing 6 feet, 9 inches tall. However, during his May 2024 graduation from Oxbridge Academy, reports listed him at 6 feet, 7 inches, suggesting he may still be growing.
Education: A Break from Family Tradition
Barron Trump graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, on May 17, 2024. He is currently a student at New York University (NYU), breaking away from the Trump family tradition of attending either the University of Pennsylvania or Georgetown University.
Barron’s half-siblings, including Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump, have strong ties to these prestigious schools. However, Barron’s brother-in-law, Jared Kushner, shares a connection to NYU, holding business and law degrees from the university.
Reports suggest Barron is now living in New York City, and his attendance at his father’s inauguration remained uncertain, as it coincided with the start of NYU’s spring semester.
Meet Barron’s Siblings
Barron Trump has four older half-siblings:
- Donald Trump Jr. (47)
- Ivanka Trump (43)
- Eric Trump (41)
- Tiffany Trump (31)
Barron spent much of his childhood at Trump Tower in Manhattan before moving to the White House in 2017 at age 11. The family relocated permanently to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2019.
Barron Trump’s Role Behind the Scenes
While Barron has kept a low profile during his father’s latest campaign, reports indicate he played an active role behind the scenes. He reportedly advised his father on strategies to connect with Gen Z voters and even encouraged Trump to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
As the Trump family steps back into the White House, Barron’s journey into adulthood continues to spark curiosity and intrigue.
