Barron Trump, 18, has been attending NYU’s Stern Business School for about six months and is already drawing attention—both for his high-profile status and how he navigates it. Accompanied daily by Secret Service agents, Barron tries to maintain a low profile. He reportedly carries a modest $88 black backpack, which some believe reflects a desire to appear more relatable despite his wealthy background. According to students, he’s known for being “chill,” “popular with the ladies,” and somewhat of an “oddity” on campus.
Though his presence divides opinion—some students are intrigued, others skeptical—Barron has found ways to connect, even inviting peers to play video games with him on Discord.
