Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s youngest son, has lived a life of luxury from being pampered with caviar-enriched skincare to attending eye-wateringly expensive schools, and now he’s said to have his first girlfriend
Donald Trump’s son Barron Trump has enjoyed an exceptionally indulgent lifestyle from the moment he was born, and it appears he’s swiftly growing up with a rumoured new love interest.
The 19-year-old student is the only child of Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, while the US President also has four other children from two previous marriages. Barron, who is the youngest child of Trump, has remained largely out of the spotlight, but this week it was rumoured that he has a girlfriend, thought to be his first.
While the teen has yet to confirm a romance, any relationship of his will undoubtedly reap the benefits of his lavish lifestyle, which he’s been indulging in from a very young age. One of which saw him receive a seriously expensive golden pushchair courtesy of Ellen DeGeneres.
While most people are content with their own bedrooms, a single room simply wouldn’t suffice for Barron. When he was a baby, Baron had already claimed an entire floor of his parents’ Manhattan penthouse as his domain.

The suite, located in Trump’s notorious Fifth Avenue residence, featured a nursery, lounge, kitchen, and quarters for Melania and the childminders. He appeared to relish the space, with Melania telling People after his arrival that he was a “very good baby” and “not like a crybaby – he’s calm, and it’s fantastic.”
As a child, he didn’t just bask in the glow of his father’s fame; he also enjoyed the perks of Melania’s entrepreneurial venture when she launched her caviar-infused skincare line, Caviar Complexe C6, in 2013. At the tender age of seven, Barron had already adopted a posh skincare regimen.
Melania shared with ABC News that she applied the luxurious moisturiser to Barron every night after his bath. “I put it on him from head to toe,” she revealed. “He likes it!”
Upon Trump’s arrival at the White House in 2017, young Barron was swiftly allotted his own private quarters. His opulent lifestyle wasn’t confined to his residence; his education mirrored this extravagance, attending some of the most prestigious and costly schools.
Before his White House days, Barron attended Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School, nestled in Manhattan’s Upper West Side. In his last year there, he treated his entire fifth-grade class to a trip to Washington, where a contingent of 80 students, teachers, and Secret Service agents toured the White House.
His educational journey continued at St Andrew’s in Potomac, Maryland, where fees hit an eye-watering $50,000 (£39,000) annually. Following the Trumps’ move back to Mar-a-Lago in 2021, Barron switched to Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, where tuition fees stand at a hefty $38,000 (£29,000), as stated on the school’s website.
Despite his luxurious upbringing, Barron enjoyed quality time with his Slovenian grandparents, savouring traditional dishes from his late grandmother, Amalija Knavs. He was raised on Slovenian cuisine and is fluent in the language, thanks to his mother and grandparents’ tutelage – he’s also conversant in French.
Melania has consistently expressed her and Trump’s commitment to being present for Barron. In a 2015 conversation with People, Melania emphasised her parenting approach: “I like to be hands-on. I think it’s very important. Barron is nine years old. He needs somebody as a parent there, so I am with him all the time. As you know, my husband is travelling all the time.”
When Trump was at home, Melania praised his parenting skills, revealing how he’d spend his mornings chatting and bonding with Barron. Trump once confessed: “We keep it [nannies] down to a minimum. If you have too much help, you don’t get to know your children.”
Back in 2012, Melania also shared with Hip Mama magazine that Barron was “a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy” who is “independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants.”
Despite Barron’s lavish lifestyle and countless privileges, Melania treasured her maternal duties and devoted every spare moment to him. “I am a full-time mum; that is my first job. The most important job ever,” the first lady declared.
As Melania’s first and Trump’s fifth child and only child together, the news of Barron’s impending arrival appeared to have caught the president off guard. Melania recalled to People: “He came home [one day last August], and I told him he’d be a daddy. And his reaction was at first he needed to take it in.
“It was a real surprise. And then he was very happy.”
Trump confessed that while he anticipated having children with Melania, Barron’s swift arrival was unexpected. He previously remarked: “I expected we were going to have children, so I wasn’t totally surprised. But I was surprised by the speed of it. It happened very quickly.”
