Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron, whom he shares with wife Melania Trump, turned 20 on March 20, and he’s becoming more like his father every day. In particular, insiders reported that the “smart” and “focused” young adult is following in his dad’s footsteps in one specific way.
“Barron has inherited his father’s interest in making money and a name for himself, and is well on the way to becoming an entrepreneur,” a source told People on March 20. “He is smart, focused and resourceful. He is always looking for areas that interest him and is quite ambitious for such a young age.”
The insider added, “He has been actively pursuing successful ventures for several years. Turning 20 is indeed a turning point for him as he gets older and wants to engage with projects that not only interest him, but will make him a lot of money.”

Donald is famously an entrepreneur and business owner himself, as the Trump Organization has Trump Hotels, Trump Golf, Trump Realty, and more. It seems like Barron is just as passionate about working for himself (and making money).
In February, Barron became a partner in a new beverage company called Sollos Yerba Mate Inc. In Sept. 2025, Forbes estimated that Barron was worth $150 million on his own, and is poised to make even more as he helped his family co-found World Liberty Financial and has an estimated 2.3 billion in locked-up tokens.
The college sophomore attends New York University for business, where he will learn even more tricks of the trade for a successful career. “He has always thought about business and truly is interested in it like his father,” the source told People. “A lot of this ambition has to do with his desire to look good to Donald, as well as to his mother. He is more gung-ho than most.”
They added that Barron will likely also follow his father’s lead when it comes to real estate decisions. “Barron is interested in developing real estate in areas where he sees growth, especially keeping up with trends of younger buyers,” the source said. “I think the next phase of his life will include property development as well as other projects that he has researched enough to know they will be profitable.”
If he’s doing all this while still in college, we can only imagine what the future holds for Barron.
