Barron Trump looks to be following in his presidential father’s footsteps,
but not regarding politics, according to a report on Tuesday. Newsweek reports
that Barron, 18, has incorporated a real estate business and will look to build on his father’s successes, though on his own.
Business records reviewed by Newsweek reveal that Barron Trump established a real
estate business in July 2024. That same month, his older brother, Eric Trump,also
launched a previously undisclosed company. Barron Trump’s firm was dissolved in
November following Donald Trump’s presidential election victory, but a partner told Newsweek there are plans to relaunch the business.
In 1971, Donald Trump, in his mid-twenties, took over his father’s residential real estate
company, marking the start of a business empire that would expand into homes, luxury hotels,
casinos, and golf courses both in the United States and abroad. The enterprise not
only made Trump a global household name but also laid the foundation for his political career, Newsweek noted.
As Trump returned to the White House on Monday, the business dealings of his close family
members across hundreds of companies—spanning real estate, hotels, and golf clubs,many
managed under the Trump Organization—are expected to come under increased scrutiny,
fueled in part by concerns over potential political influence. But like during his
first term, Trump turned the businesses over to his sons and has taken a hands-off approach while in office.
Barron played a key role in advising his father on strategies to engage younger voters,
according to media reports. Meanwhile, Eric Trump, 41, remains integral to his father’s
business interests, serving as executive vice president of the Trump Organization alongside his brother, Donald Trump Jr., 47.
The company linked to Barron Trump, Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc.,was a real
estate firm incorporated on July 15, 2024. It was dissolved on November 14,shortly
after Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, Newsweek reported.
Cameron Roxburgh, one of Barron’s partners and a classmate from the $40,000-a-year Oxbridge Academy
in Palm Beach, told Newsweek that the team dissolved their company to avoid media
scrutiny during the election but plans to relaunch it in the spring.
