He is always looking for areas that interest him and is quite ambitious for such a young age.”\nThe college student was reportedly the motivating force behind the Trump family's multiple cryptocurrency ventures, which have\nearned them billions\nover the last few years, according to\nForbes\n. As of September 2025, the publication reported that Barron alone was already believed to be worth a staggering $150 million, plus millions more in locked-up tokens that can't yet be traded.\n“He has been actively pursuing successful ventures for several years,” the source says. “Turning 20 is indeed a turning point for him as he gets older and wants to engage with projects that not only interest him, but will make him a lot of money.\"\nFirst son Barron Trump at his father's 2025 inauguration.\nChip Somodevilla\/Getty\nAs the youngest and least public-facing Trump, Barron is reportedly motivated to prove himself amid the successes of his father and siblings.\n\"This is how to impress his family,\" the source notes. \"He wants to make his own mark.”\n\"He has always thought about business and truly is interested in it like his father. A lot of this ambition has to do with his desire to look good to Donald, as well as to his mother. He is more gung-ho than most.”\nA political source tells PEOPLE that it's Barron's close relationship with his mother, first lady\nMelania Trump\n, however, that truly sets him apart from the rest of his family.\n“Barron is a carbon copy of his father, yet he is blessed without the elder’s brashness,” the source says. “He is more like his mother with a European aloof and quiet sophistication.\"\nBarron is also 12 years younger than his closest half-sibling in age,\nTiffany\n, and grew up like an only child.\n\"He is different from the other Trump children in the sense that he is sort of a loner,\" the source adds. \"Growing up in the public eye and not necessarily feeling comfortable in it has made him stronger within himself, and at the same time, is driving his ambition. It’s an interesting combination.”\nFront row: Tiffany, Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Barron and Melania Trump at the State of the Union address on Feb. 24, 2026.\nMandel NGAN \/ AFP via Getty \nBarron attended classes on New York University's Manhattan campus for his first year of post-high school studies in 2024; however, at the start of his sophomore year last fall, he transferred to NYU's Washington, D.C., campus.\n“He has been happy in Washington, where he has access to his family and to different options for his own future as a businessman and young entrepreneur,” the political source says.\nA second political source believes the youngest Trump son will remain in D.C. for the foreseeable future, because he has \"mental security\" and \"a comfortable life with people looking up to him.\"\n“He also has super safety security right there, and is privy to business deals he may not know about if he were living in New York at school,\" the source adds.\nAs far as completing his business degree, the second political source admits, “While he probably doesn’t need to finish to move on with his life, my feeling at this time is that he will graduate, and if nothing changes will likely do it from where he is.\"\nRemaining in Washington also keeps Barron close to Melania, which elicits mixed opinions from sources close to the family — especially a second social source who worries about Barron remaining \"tied to his mother's apron strings.\"\n“I understand he is in an unusual situation, but he should enjoy a normal college life,\" the source says. \"He is a lovely boy with manners. He is kind to others. I just hope he will be able to live an independent life at some point. His 20th birthday is a good time to review this.”\nMelania and Barron Trump at a 2024 election night event.\n Chip Somodevilla\/Getty\nThe second social source does note, however, that Barron's business decisions \"for the most part are his. He has exhibited independence in business more than socially.”\nBusiness is where he will likely stick closer to his father's footsteps, the first social source says.\n“Barron is interested in developing real estate in areas where he sees growth, especially keeping up with trends of younger buyers,” the source notes. “I think the next phase of his life will include property development as well as other projects that he has researched enough to know they will be profitable.”\nNever miss a story — sign up for\nPEOPLE's free daily newsletter\nto stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.\nHe's also applying his Gen Z sensibilities to other projects with young entrepreneurs his age, like\nSOLLOS Yerba Mate drinks\n. Barron raised a reported $1 million to help start the company, where he is a co-founder and director. The social source says he got involved through his father's contacts; the project involves two grandchildren of a friend and donor of the president named Jay Weitzman.\n\"[Barron] is not immune to moving ahead with projects he has been lucky enough to have come his way because of who he is,\" the source notes. \"This is an opportunity that someone ambitious like Barron would jump on because of the other influential young people involved.\"","attrs_markdown":"\n\n[Skip to content](https:\/\/people.com\/barron-trump-20th-birthday-next-phase-11929076#main)\n\n[PEOPLE](https:\/\/people.com\/)\n\n**0**\n\n- Please fill out this field.\n- [Log In](https:\/\/people.com\/authentication\/login?regSource=26075&relativeRedirectUrl=%2Fbarron-trump-20th-birthday-next-phase-11929076)\n- My Account\n  -

(1) Europeans as a whole aren’t aloof so there’s no “European aloof”. Maleficent’s English was poor when she was younger so she didn’t speak as much and that can seem aloof. She’s been picking up bits of sophistication as best she can from others over the years. She didn’t grow up with it, she’s from the wrong country, wrong time. (2) How does growing up in the public eye and not feeling comfortable in it make Barron stronger within himself?? (3) In the now-familiar SOTU photo, he has the flat affect he often does in photos and his arms are his sides during applause for his mother. He looks detached. (4) The 2nd political source stated in D.C. Trump has “a comfortable life with people looking up to him”. Looking UP to him…I find that odd. Anyone else find that odd?

However, if banks were smart they would only keep their doors a bit ajar. Once dad is gone, and hopefully gone to prison, praying that it's soon, he may not have as many doors opened for him. Yes, he may be brilliant when it comes to business, but that last name is not going to be a plus and it's because of what dad has done, especially in the world of construction. If I was him I would get my college education and then run, run fast, run far away. I am sure daddy's faves don't want you around sticking your nose into their business, dabbling in their inheritance.

He is reported to be smart and resourceful - that would indicate he could finish his college work with the Air Force and learn to fly missions in the new war zone. He could even spend 20 years in service and be only 40 when he retires and THEN could pursue real estate or crypto hoarding.

It was considered out of bounds. I find it so classless that People magazine puts Barron Trump in the spotlight when he is not involved in politics. Even worse, calling him essentially a \"mommy's boy\" because he is close to his Melania is tasteless. Almost all of the staff at People magazine are women, so I would expect a little bit of empathy towards children, but I guess People magazine's staff has an alternate agenda.\n    \n    10 replies\n    \n    9\n    \n    13\n    \n    share\n    \n    report\n    \n    9\n    \n    9 older replies\n    \n    show older replies\n    \n    - #### Reply by WestCoastRN.\n      We\n      \n      WestCoastRN\n      \n      8 days ago\n      \n      Reply to Danny@WDC\n      \n      “…close to his Melania”???\n      \n      1\n      \n      0\n      \n      share\n      \n      report\n\nLoad more comments\n\n## Active Conversations\nThe following is a list of the most commented articles in the last 7 days.\n\n- [A trending article titled \"Pam Bondi Says She Is 'Thrilled' About Job Change After Being Fired by Trump\" with 190 comments.Pam Bondi Says She Is 'Thrilled' About Job Change After Being Fired by Trump 190](https:\/\/people.com\/pam-bondi-speaks-out-after-being-fired-by-trump-11941691?__vfz=medium%3Dconversations_top_pages)\n- [A trending article titled \"Meghan Markle Shares Video of Prince Archie Learning to Ski Alongside Prince Harry: 'So Proud!'\" with 21 comments.Meghan Markle Shares Video of Prince Archie Learning to Ski Alongside Prince Harry: 'So Proud!' 21](https:\/\/people.com\/meghan-markle-shares-video-of-prince-archie-learning-to-ski-alongside-prince-harry-11942014?__vfz=medium%3Dconversations_top_pages)\n\nPowered by\n\n## Related Articles\n[![Barron Trump attends the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol on January 20, 2025 in Washington, DC.

"This is how to impress his family," the source notes. "He wants to make his own mark.” "He has always thought about business and truly is interested in it like his father. A lot of this ambition has to do with his desire to look good to Donald, as well as to his mother. He is more gung-ho than most.” ## Related Stories [Japanese Prime Minister Shouts Out Barron Trump's Birthday at White House Dinner: 'Donald, It's Very Clear Where He Got It' ![ Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi listens as U.S. President Donald Trump speaks before a state dinner in the State Dining Room of the White House on March 19, 2026 in Washington, DC.](https://people.com/thmb/Z0IhRgdBJr6epYjVZkFjKp85AqM=/300x200/filters:no_upscale:max_bytes$150000$:strip_icc/japan-prime-minister-sanae-takaichi-031926-ca3f8683b9ea4e50ba1624faac88a85e.jpg) ![ Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi listens as U.S. President Donald Trump speaks before a state dinner in the State Dining Room of the White House on March 19, 2026 in Washington, DC.](https://people.com/thmb/Z0IhRgdBJr6epYjVZkFjKp85AqM=/300x200/filters:no_upscale:max_bytes$150000$:strip_icc/japan-prime-minister-sanae-takaichi-031926-ca3f8683b9ea4e50ba1624faac88a85e.jpg)](https://people.com/japanese-prime-minister-shouts-out-barron-trump-birthday-at-white-house-dinner-11930514) [Donald and Melania Trump's Holidays at Mar-a-Lago Reflected the Club's Unwritten Rule: 'Don't Bother Barron' (Exclusive Sources) ![Barron Trump attends the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol on January 20, 2025 in Washington, DC., President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump arrive for a New Year’s Eve event at his Mar-a-Lago home on December 31, 2025 in Palm Beach, Florida.](https://people.com/thmb/y5DKYdDFptrVLBczPNCJ5LRqdok=/300x200/filters:no_upscale:max_bytes$150000$:strip_icc/Barron-Trump-inauguration-2025-Donald-Trump-Melania-Trump-New-Years-Eve-Mar-A-Lago-Club-010626-90669a5d926a451fb24cc6b1cdab5610.jpg) ![Barron Trump attends the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol on January 20, 2025 in Washington, DC., President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump arrive for a New Year’s Eve event at his Mar-a-Lago home on December 31, 2025 in Palm Beach, Florida.](https://people.com/thmb/y5DKYdDFptrVLBczPNCJ5LRqdok=/300x200/filters:no_upscale:max_bytes$150000$:strip_icc/Barron-Trump-inauguration-2025-Donald-Trump-Melania-Trump-New-Years-Eve-Mar-A-Lago-Club-010626-90669a5d926a451fb24cc6b1cdab5610.jpg)](https://people.com/trumps-holidays-mar-a-lago-reflect-unwritten-barron-rule-exclusive-11880103) A political source tells PEOPLE that it's Barron's close relationship with his mother, first lady [Melania Trump](https://people.com/tag/melania-trump/), however, that truly sets him apart from the rest of his family. “Barron is a carbon copy of his father, yet he is blessed without the elder’s brashness,” the source says. “He is more like his mother with a European aloof and quiet sophistication." Barron is also 12 years younger than his closest half-sibling in age, [Tiffany](https://people.com/tag/tiffany-trump/), and grew up like an only child. "He is different from the other Trump children in the sense that he is sort of a loner," the source adds. "Growing up in the public eye and not necessarily feeling comfortable in it has made him stronger within himself, and at the same time, is driving his ambition. It’s an interesting combination.” ![Donald Trump Jr Eric Trump Jared Kushner Tiffany Trump in an audience setting part of a group applauding](https://people.com/thmb/cIyKAUCNVLIX9GPM0pIu1-HwyrA=/4000x0/filters:no_upscale:max_bytes$150000$:strip_icc:focal$749x0:751x2$/donald-trump-state-of-the-union-35-02242026-085936c2b5194f87b4e19add8fa0da3c.jpg) ![Donald Trump Jr Eric Trump Jared Kushner Tiffany Trump in an audience setting part of a group applauding](https://people.com/thmb/cIyKAUCNVLIX9GPM0pIu1-HwyrA=/4000x0/filters:no_upscale:max_bytes$150000$:strip_icc:focal$749x0:751x2$/donald-trump-state-of-the-union-35-02242026-085936c2b5194f87b4e19add8fa0da3c.jpg) Front row: Tiffany, Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Barron and Melania Trump at the State of the Union address on Feb. 24, 2026. Mandel NGAN / AFP via Getty Barron attended classes on New York University's Manhattan campus for his first year of post-high school studies in 2024; however, at the start of his sophomore year last fall, he transferred to NYU's Washington, D.C., campus. “He has been happy in Washington, where he has access to his family and to different options for his own future as a businessman and young entrepreneur,” the political source says. A second political source believes the youngest Trump son will remain in D.C. for the foreseeable future, because he has "mental security" and "a comfortable life with people looking up to him." “He also has super safety security right there, and is privy to business deals he may not know about if he were living in New York at school," the source adds. As far as completing his business degree, the second political source admits, “While he probably doesn’t need to finish to move on with his life, my feeling at this time is that he will graduate, and if nothing changes will likely do it from where he is." ## Related Stories [Barron Trump Gets in on the Latest Beverage Craze with New Business Venture ![Donald Trump's son, Barron Trump (C), attends the United States Capitol on January 20, 2025 in Washington, DC.

We WestCoastRN 12 days ago My comments are more about the article itself. (1) Europeans as a whole aren’t aloof so there’s no “European aloof”. Maleficent’s English was poor when she was younger so she didn’t speak as much and that can seem aloof. She’s been picking up bits of sophistication as best she can from others over the years. She didn’t grow up with it, she’s from the wrong country, wrong time. (2) How does growing up in the public eye and not feeling comfortable in it make Barron stronger within himself?? (3) In the now-familiar SOTU photo, he has the flat affect he often does in photos and his arms are his sides during applause for his mother. He looks detached. (4) The 2nd political source stated in D.C. Trump has “a comfortable life with people looking up to him”. Looking UP to him…I find that odd. Anyone else find that odd?

Ra Rad 13 days ago I know his last name will open up far too many doors. However, if banks were smart they would only keep their doors a bit ajar. Once dad is gone, and hopefully gone to prison, praying that it's soon, he may not have as many doors opened for him. Yes, he may be brilliant when it comes to business, but that last name is not going to be a plus and it's because of what dad has done, especially in the world of construction. If I was him I would get my college education and then run, run fast, run far away. I am sure daddy's faves don't want you around sticking your nose into their business, dabbling in their inheritance. If he is compassionate and kind, run!!!!\!

He is reported to be smart and resourceful - that would indicate he could finish his college work with the Air Force and learn to fly missions in the new war zone. He could even spend 20 years in service and be only 40 when he retires and THEN could pursue real estate or crypto hoarding. Melania should be supporting a military service commitment from her son.

Da Danny@WDC 11 days ago Once upon a time the press left children of presidents out of the media. It was considered out of bounds. I find it so classless that People magazine puts Barron Trump in the spotlight when he is not involved in politics. Even worse, calling him essentially a "mommy's boy" because he is close to his Melania is tasteless. Almost all of the staff at People magazine are women, so I would expect a little bit of empathy towards children, but I guess People magazine's staff has an alternate agenda. 10 replies 9 13 share report 9 9 older replies show older replies - #### Reply by WestCoastRN.

Readable Markdown	### NEED TO KNOW - Barron Trump, the youngest child of President Donald Trump, turns 20 years old on Friday, March 20 - Sources close to the family tell PEOPLE that Barron has "inherited his father’s interest in making money and a name for himself," with one notable difference - The youngest Trump is already estimated to be worth roughly \$150 million thanks to cryptocurrency investments, Forbes reported last year [Barron Trump](https://people.com/tag/barron-trump/) turns 20 years old on Friday, March 20, and sources close to President [Donald Trump](https://people.com/tag/donald-trump/)'s youngest son tell PEOPLE how he's preparing for his "next phase" of life — which may involve treading over a few of his father's footsteps. “Barron has inherited his father’s interest in making money and a name for himself, and is well on the way to becoming an entrepreneur,” a social source tells PEOPLE. “He is smart, focused and resourceful. He is always looking for areas that interest him and is quite ambitious for such a young age.” The college student was reportedly the motivating force behind the Trump family's multiple cryptocurrency ventures, which have [earned them billions](https://people.com/forbes-reveals-barron-trump-net-worth-11816372) over the last few years, according to [Forbes](https://people.com/forbes-reveals-barron-trump-net-worth-11816372). As of September 2025, the publication reported that Barron alone was already believed to be worth a staggering \$150 million, plus millions more in locked-up tokens that can't yet be traded. “He has been actively pursuing successful ventures for several years,” the source says. “Turning 20 is indeed a turning point for him as he gets older and wants to engage with projects that not only interest him, but will make him a lot of money." First son Barron Trump at his father's 2025 inauguration. Chip Somodevilla/Getty As the youngest and least public-facing Trump, Barron is reportedly motivated to prove himself amid the successes of his father and siblings. "This is how to impress his family," the source notes. "He wants to make his own mark.” "He has always thought about business and truly is interested in it like his father. A lot of this ambition has to do with his desire to look good to Donald, as well as to his mother. He is more gung-ho than most.” A political source tells PEOPLE that it's Barron's close relationship with his mother, first lady [Melania Trump](https://people.com/tag/melania-trump/), however, that truly sets him apart from the rest of his family. “Barron is a carbon copy of his father, yet he is blessed without the elder’s brashness,” the source says. “He is more like his mother with a European aloof and quiet sophistication." Barron is also 12 years younger than his closest half-sibling in age, [Tiffany](https://people.com/tag/tiffany-trump/), and grew up like an only child. "He is different from the other Trump children in the sense that he is sort of a loner," the source adds. "Growing up in the public eye and not necessarily feeling comfortable in it has made him stronger within himself, and at the same time, is driving his ambition. It’s an interesting combination.” Front row: Tiffany, Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Barron and Melania Trump at the State of the Union address on Feb. 24, 2026. Mandel NGAN / AFP via Getty Barron attended classes on New York University's Manhattan campus for his first year of post-high school studies in 2024; however, at the start of his sophomore year last fall, he transferred to NYU's Washington, D.C., campus. “He has been happy in Washington, where he has access to his family and to different options for his own future as a businessman and young entrepreneur,” the political source says. A second political source believes the youngest Trump son will remain in D.C. for the foreseeable future, because he has "mental security" and "a comfortable life with people looking up to him." “He also has super safety security right there, and is privy to business deals he may not know about if he were living in New York at school," the source adds. As far as completing his business degree, the second political source admits, “While he probably doesn’t need to finish to move on with his life, my feeling at this time is that he will graduate, and if nothing changes will likely do it from where he is." Remaining in Washington also keeps Barron close to Melania, which elicits mixed opinions from sources close to the family — especially a second social source who worries about Barron remaining "tied to his mother's apron strings." “I understand he is in an unusual situation, but he should enjoy a normal college life," the source says. "He is a lovely boy with manners. He is kind to others. I just hope he will be able to live an independent life at some point. His 20th birthday is a good time to review this.” Melania and Barron Trump at a 2024 election night event. Chip Somodevilla/Getty The second social source does note, however, that Barron's business decisions "for the most part are his. He has exhibited independence in business more than socially.” Business is where he will likely stick closer to his father's footsteps, the first social source says. “Barron is interested in developing real estate in areas where he sees growth, especially keeping up with trends of younger buyers,” the source notes. “I think the next phase of his life will include property development as well as other projects that he has researched enough to know they will be profitable.” Never miss a story — sign up for [PEOPLE's free daily newsletter](https://people.com/people-news-daily-newsletter-sign-up-8692701) to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. He's also applying his Gen Z sensibilities to other projects with young entrepreneurs his age, like [SOLLOS Yerba Mate drinks](https://people.com/barron-trump-new-beverage-company-11901254). Barron raised a reported \$1 million to help start the company, where he is a co-founder and director. The social source says he got involved through his father's contacts; the project involves two grandchildren of a friend and donor of the president named Jay Weitzman. "\[Barron\] is not immune to moving ahead with projects he has been lucky enough to have come his way because of who he is," the source notes. "This is an opportunity that someone ambitious like Barron would jump on because of the other influential young people involved."
