Barron Trump is kicking off his sophomore year at NYU’s Stern School of Business. It’s a top-notch program that’s churned out tons of big-shot business folks, but honestly, we don’t know much about what his day-to-day life looks like on campus.
The youngest Trump kid apparently spent his summer hustling on some future business ideas, but when the fall semester rolled around, the 19-year-old was a total no-show.
Turns out, there’s a pretty straightforward explanation for why he’s MIA, and it’s not the drama you might be imagining.
Barron’s wrapped up his freshman year at Stern, and he keeps things pretty low-key, staying out of the headlines. We don’t have the scoop on his grades or anything like that.
From what we’ve heard, though, he just wants to blend in like any other student. Back earlier this year, there were stories floating around about how he pulls off this normal-guy vibe.
Word is, he slings a simple black backpack to class. Sure, it’s practical for stashing books, pens, and his laptop, but there might be more to it. Some TikTok user spilled the beans on why he sticks with this $88 bag no matter what.
Inside Barron Trump’s College World
“As the son of Trump and basically the next in line, Barron’s sitting on a fortune worth hundreds of millions, but he rocks this cheap black backpack everywhere,” the user posted, according to Express.
“Growing up, Barron had it all—raised by Melania in total luxury from day one. But get this: under his dad’s influence, he’s super frugal behind the scenes. Ever since starting college, he’s been toting that $88 bag, which helps him look like just another student.
“It keeps him under the radar, makes him easier to chat with, and lets him join in on stuff without sticking out. Plus, since Trump got back in office, he’s all about cutting out waste and even donates to charities sometimes.”
The TikToker added: “Barron’s following suit, staying humble. At 19, he’s never splurged on fancy stuff. In a way, this builds up his good-guy image, sets him up as the future heir, and boosts the whole Trump family’s rep.”
We still don’t know what Barron’s got lined up long-term. Maybe he’ll dive into the family biz or try his hand at politics like his dad—who knows?
Barron’s All About His Schoolwork Right Now
Now that he’s deep into college, the rumor mill’s been churning about his dating life. Some say he’s got a girlfriend, but true or not, it doesn’t seem like romance is on his radar these days.
While his dad was tied up with White House stuff over the summer, Barron wasn’t just chilling—he was grinding on his own projects and family time, per People Magazine.
An insider dished to People: “Barron’s been building up his own money-making ventures and hanging out a lot with the fam.”
Even with all the gossip from random sightings, the source made it clear that dating’s on the back burner.
“He’s not sweating the dating scene at the moment. School comes first, along with his tight-knit family and kickstarting his career,” they said.
Fall classes are in full swing, and campuses everywhere are buzzing with students again. But at Stern, Barron hasn’t popped up once.
The Real Reason Barron’s Not at NYU’s Main Campus
So, what’s the deal with him skipping the start of the semester? Well, he hasn’t really—he’s just switched spots. According to People, chatting with some campus security folks, the 19-year-old isn’t on the main NYU grounds but is studying somewhere else under their umbrella.
“One of the guards told me he’s doing the semester at a different NYU location,” they shared.
Where exactly? NYU’s got full-on campuses in places like Brooklyn, Abu Dhabi, London, Paris, and Shanghai where you can earn degrees. They’ve also got study spots in LA and DC.
Hello Magazine mentioned that security’s keeping mum on the exact spot for obvious reasons.
