Barron Trump, the youngest son of Donald Trump and Melania Trump, turned 20 on Friday and is being described by insiders as a 'loner' with a strong entrepreneurial drive, distinct from his father's brashness. Sources close to the family say he is preparing for his 'next phase of life', focusing on projects that will 'make him a lot of money'.
According to a source who spoke to People, Barron has inherited his father's interest in making money and building a name for himself, but differs from Donald Trump's other children in that he is 'sort of a loner'. The source added that growing up in the public eye has made him stronger and driven his ambition.
A political source described Barron as a 'carbon copy of his father' but 'blessed without the elder’s brashness', noting that he is more like his mother, with a 'European aloof and quiet sophistication'. Barron began his studies at New York University's Manhattan campus in 2024 before transferring to its Washington, DC campus for his sophomore year.
Earlier this year, Barron made headlines after he called UK police to report witnessing a friend being assaulted during a video call. The call led to the conviction of Matvei Rumiantsev for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and perverting the course of justice at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
