BORN: March 20, 2006

PARENTS:
Donald Trump
and
Melania Trump
SIBLINGS:

ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Pisces
Parents, Half-Siblings, and Other Family
Barron William Trump was born on March 20, 2006, in New York City. His parents are President
Donald Trump
, who first gained fame as a real estate mogul, and First Lady
Melania Trump
, who was previously a model.
As the youngest of the former presidentâs five children from his three marriages, Barron has four half-siblings:
Don Jr
.,
Ivanka
,
Eric
, and,
Tiffany
. However, he was effectively raised as an only child because he is between 13 and 29 years younger than his siblings. Although he and Tiffany could have shared part of their childhoods, she was raised in the Los Angeles area after her mother,
Marla Maples
, and Donald Sr. divorced in 1999.
Barron became an uncle while himself still a baby. He has four nieces: Kai Trump, who is just one year his junior; Arabella Kushner; Chloe Trump; and Carolina Trump. Barron additionally has six nephews: Donald Trump III, Tristan Trump, Spencer Trump, Joseph Kushner, Theodore Kushner, and Eric Trump.
Early Life
Growing up, Barron learned to speak English and Slovene, the language of his motherâs home country, Slovenia. He is fluent in both tongues and also speaks French.
Barron was raised inside his fatherâs New York City high-rise Trump Tower, where he had an entire floor to himself. Accordingly, Barron has always known a life of luxury. In an interview with
Parenting
, Melania revealed Barron really liked planes and helicopters when he was little and that, as a hands-on mom, she cooked his breakfast and prepared his lunches. She also believed in encouraging his creativityâeven when he would draw on the walls. âHis imagination is growing and important,â she said. âIf he draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over.â
Although itâs unclear if heâll follow his family into the real estate business, Barron did like to build cities and airports using
Lego bricks
and
Magna Tiles
growing up. He also has his own aesthetic. âHe likes clean and white,â Melania told
Parenting
. âHe builds big projects. He has a big imagination, and itâs very impressive. He loves to build something and tear it down and build something else. He is very detailed at drawing. We travel often, and he remembers everything he sees.â
Melania also told the magazine she calls Barron âLittle Donaldâ because his personality is so similar to that of his father. âHe is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy. He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants,â she said.
She also noted that Barron spent a lot quality time with his father, mostly at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, where they played golf, ate dinner together, and enjoyed family time.
Living at the White House
Donald Trumpâs election to the
U.S. presidency
in 2016 brought a new level of exposure to the family, already well-known for Donaldâs real estate holdings, reality TV series, and other business ventures. But Barron didnât immediate follow his father to Washington D.C. after the inauguration. Instead, the boy stayed at Trump Tower with his mother for almost the first five months of his fatherâs presidency in order to finish his studies at the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on the Upper West Side. He and his mother moved into the White House on June 11, 2017, and Barron began attending St. Andrewâs Episcopal, a prep school in Maryland.
Barron became the first son of a president to reside in the White House since
John F. Kennedy Jr.
in 1963. Although he stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, he did turn up for some of the White Houseâs holiday-themed events in 2017, including the annual Easter Egg Roll in April, where he joined his parents in signing cards for members of the American Armed Forces. He also supported his fatherâs pardoning of the turkeys before Thanksgiving and, soon after, stepped out with his mom on the North Portico to receive the official Christmas tree from Wisconsin, which went up on display in the White Houseâs Blue Room.

Barron Trump was at his fatherâs side for the presidential turkey pardoning in November 2017.
On October 14, 2020, Melania confirmed that, like her and Donald, Barron tested positive for COVID-19. Although Barron initially tested negative, the
first lady
revealed that her âfear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive.â Melania continued: âLuckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms. In one way, I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together. He has since tested negative.â
High School and College
After leaving the White House in 2021, Barron moved with his mother and father to Mar-a-Lago. In August 2021, it was announced that Barron had enrolled in private school at the Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. Both of his parents attended his graduation in May 2024.
Soon after, his father said in an interview that Barron was still considering multiple schools to obtain his undergraduate degree. âHeâs applied to colleges and gets into everywhere he goes. Heâs very sought after from standpoint,â
Donald said
.
According to
People
, a source said itâs possible that his mother, Melania, âwill follow him wherever he goes to school.â ï»żBarron ultimately selected ï»żNew York University and is studying in the ï»żï»żStern School of Business. He began classes there in September 2024 and reportedly lives off-campus. He commutes to campus from nearby Trump Tower.ï»ż
How Tall Is Barron Trump?
Getty Images
At 6-foot-7, Barron Trump is significantly taller than his parents.
Barron towers over both of his famous parents and,
according to his father
, stands at 6 feet, 7 inches tall.
Donald has attributed Barronâs impressive frame to all the food his late grandmother Amalija Knavs cooked for him. He has also remarked about Barronâs potential future in sports. âI said youâre gonna be a basketball player. He said, âWell, I like soccer, dad, actually,ââ
he said
at a 2024 campaign event. âI thought... at your height, I like basketball better, but you canât talk them into everything.â
Political Presenceï»ż
Barronâs 18
th
birthday in March 2024 led to debate about how the media should cover him now that he is a legal adult. However,
Chelsea Clinton
, the daughter of former President
Bill Clinton
and
Hillary Clinton
, has defended Barron, saying he has a right to privacy. âI think heâs a private citizen. I feel so strongly that if you are a private citizen, you have an unimpeachable right to privacy, and I think the media should leave him alone,â
she said
.
In May 2024, news broke that Barron had been
selected to serve as an at-large delegate for the state of Florida
at the Republican National Convention later in July, which would have marked his first foray into the political realm. However, the office of Melania Trump
announced two days later
that he âregretfully declines to participateâ at the convention because of prior commitments.ï»ż

## Parents, Half-Siblings, and Other Family
Barron William Trump was born on March 20, 2006, in New York City. His parents are President [Donald Trump](https://www.biography.com/political-figures/donald-trump), who first gained fame as a real estate mogul, and First Lady [Melania Trump](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/melania-trump), who was previously a model.
As the youngest of the former presidentâs five children from his three marriages, Barron has four half-siblings: [Don Jr](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/donald-trump-jr)., [Ivanka](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/ivanka-trump), [Eric](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/eric-trump), and, [Tiffany](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/tiffany-trump). However, he was effectively raised as an only child because he is between 13 and 29 years younger than his siblings. Although he and Tiffany could have shared part of their childhoods, she was raised in the Los Angeles area after her mother, [Marla Maples](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/marla-maples), and Donald Sr. divorced in 1999.
Barron became an uncle while himself still a baby. He has four nieces: Kai Trump, who is just one year his junior; Arabella Kushner; Chloe Trump; and Carolina Trump. Barron additionally has six nephews: Donald Trump III, Tristan Trump, Spencer Trump, Joseph Kushner, Theodore Kushner, and Eric Trump.
## Early Life
Growing up, Barron learned to speak English and Slovene, the language of his motherâs home country, Slovenia. He is fluent in both tongues and also speaks French.
Barron was raised inside his fatherâs New York City high-rise Trump Tower, where he had an entire floor to himself. Accordingly, Barron has always known a life of luxury. In an interview with *Parenting*, Melania revealed Barron really liked planes and helicopters when he was little and that, as a hands-on mom, she cooked his breakfast and prepared his lunches. She also believed in encouraging his creativityâeven when he would draw on the walls. âHis imagination is growing and important,â she said. âIf he draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over.â
Although itâs unclear if heâll follow his family into the real estate business, Barron did like to build cities and airports using [Lego bricks](https://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/g38687321/biggest-lego-sets/) and [Magna Tiles](https://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/g38726763/best-magnetic-toys/) growing up. He also has his own aesthetic. âHe likes clean and white,â Melania told *Parenting*. âHe builds big projects. He has a big imagination, and itâs very impressive. He loves to build something and tear it down and build something else. He is very detailed at drawing. We travel often, and he remembers everything he sees.â
Melania also told the magazine she calls Barron âLittle Donaldâ because his personality is so similar to that of his father. âHe is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy. He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants,â she said.
She also noted that Barron spent a lot quality time with his father, mostly at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, where they played golf, ate dinner together, and enjoyed family time.
## Living at the White House
Donald Trumpâs election to the [U.S. presidency](https://www.biography.com/us-presidents) in 2016 brought a new level of exposure to the family, already well-known for Donaldâs real estate holdings, reality TV series, and other business ventures. But Barron didnât immediate follow his father to Washington D.C. after the inauguration. Instead, the boy stayed at Trump Tower with his mother for almost the first five months of his fatherâs presidency in order to finish his studies at the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on the Upper West Side. He and his mother moved into the White House on June 11, 2017, and Barron began attending St. Andrewâs Episcopal, a prep school in Maryland.
Barron became the first son of a president to reside in the White House since [John F. Kennedy Jr.](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/john-f-kennedy-jr) in 1963. Although he stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, he did turn up for some of the White Houseâs holiday-themed events in 2017, including the annual Easter Egg Roll in April, where he joined his parents in signing cards for members of the American Armed Forces. He also supported his fatherâs pardoning of the turkeys before Thanksgiving and, soon after, stepped out with his mom on the North Portico to receive the official Christmas tree from Wisconsin, which went up on display in the White Houseâs Blue Room.

On October 14, 2020, Melania confirmed that, like her and Donald, Barron tested positive for COVID-19. Although Barron initially tested negative, the [first lady](https://www.biography.com/us-first-ladies) revealed that her âfear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive.â Melania continued: âLuckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms. In one way, I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together. He has since tested negative.â
## High School and College
After leaving the White House in 2021, Barron moved with his mother and father to Mar-a-Lago. In August 2021, it was announced that Barron had enrolled in private school at the Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. Both of his parents attended his graduation in May 2024.
Soon after, his father said in an interview that Barron was still considering multiple schools to obtain his undergraduate degree. âHeâs applied to colleges and gets into everywhere he goes. Heâs very sought after from standpoint,â [Donald said](https://www.newsweek.com/barron-trump-college-update-issued-donald-trump-1907206). [According to *People*](https://people.com/barron-trump-18th-birthday-college-search-8610932), a source said itâs possible that his mother, Melania, âwill follow him wherever he goes to school.â ï»żBarron ultimately selected ï»żNew York University and is studying in the ï»żï»żStern School of Business. He began classes there in September 2024 and reportedly lives off-campus. He commutes to campus from nearby Trump Tower.ï»ż

At 6-foot-7, Barron Trump is significantly taller than his parents.
Barron towers over both of his famous parents and, [according to his father](https://people.com/all-about-barron-trump-donald-trump-son-7507615), stands at 6 feet, 7 inches tall.
Donald has attributed Barronâs impressive frame to all the food his late grandmother Amalija Knavs cooked for him. He has also remarked about Barronâs potential future in sports. âI said youâre gonna be a basketball player. He said, âWell, I like soccer, dad, actually,ââ [he said](https://people.com/all-about-barron-trump-donald-trump-son-7507615) at a 2024 campaign event. âI thought... at your height, I like basketball better, but you canât talk them into everything.â
## Political Presenceï»ż
Barronâs 18th birthday in March 2024 led to debate about how the media should cover him now that he is a legal adult. However, [Chelsea Clinton](https://www.biography.com/history-culture/chelsea-clinton), the daughter of former President [Bill Clinton](https://www.biography.com/political-figures/bill-clinton) and [Hillary Clinton](https://www.biography.com/political-figures/hillary-clinton), has defended Barron, saying he has a right to privacy. âI think heâs a private citizen. I feel so strongly that if you are a private citizen, you have an unimpeachable right to privacy, and I think the media should leave him alone,â [she said](https://people.com/chelsea-clinton-barron-trump-unimpeachable-right-privacy-8619246).
In May 2024, news broke that Barron had been [selected to serve as an at-large delegate for the state of Florida](https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/09/politics/barron-trump-delegate-republican-national-convention/index.html) at the Republican National Convention later in July, which would have marked his first foray into the political realm. However, the office of Melania Trump [announced two days later](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/barron-trump-delegate-florida-republican-national-convention/) that he âregretfully declines to participateâ at the convention because of prior commitments.ï»ż
