No contest: Barron Trump is the tallest member of the Trump family.
After his "proud mom" Melania Trump tweeted a viral photo of her very tall 18-year-old son voting on Election Day 2024, search engine queries about Donald Trump's youngest son's height spiked the morning after.
The Palm Beach Daily News, a Paste BN Network newspaper, reported early Tuesday, Nov. 5, that Donald and Melania Trump voted at the Mandel Recreation Center near Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. It wasn't known at the time whether Barron Trump cast a ballot there − until Melania Trump's tweet. As of 10 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 6, the tweet has already been viewed more than 11.6 million times. Its message? "Voted for the first time - for his dad! #18yearsold #presidentialelection #proud"
Though the photo of Barron Trump does not show his face, it is on the official X account (formerly known as Twitter) of Melania Trump, and it's a view of him from the back with very long legs.
How tall is Barron Trump, son of Donald and Melania Trump?
It's quite possible that Barron Trump, youngest son of former president Donald and Melania Trump, is apparently still growing.
While we can't confirm, if you Google "Barron Trump's height," search results show he is 6 feet, 9 inches tall. The Palm Beach Post first reported this in July 2024. During the 18-year-old’s graduation in May 2024 from Oxbridge Academy in suburban West Palm Beach, he was 6-foot, 7-inches tall, according to multiple reports.
Seems odd that he'd have a 2-inch growth spurt in a few months, but while most men stop growing at 18, after puberty, some may continue to grow into their early 20s.
If Barron Trump is now 6-foot, 9-inches tall, that puts him in rare company. Consider NBA legend LeBron James is 6-foot, 9-inches tall as are former NBA greats Karl Malone, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Also 6-foot, 9-inches is boxer Tyson Fury and “Jurassic Park” author Michael Crichton.
Is Barron Trump the tallest of the Trumps?
Even at 6-foot-7, Barron Trump was the tallest of the Trump siblings, and rises above his father, who is listed as 6 feet 3 inches, although some reports say he's actually 6-2. His mother, former model Melania Trump, is 5-11. Among his half-brothers, Eric Trump is 6-5, and Donald Trump Jr. is 6-1.
About how old was Barron Trump when he became taller than his mother, Melania Trump?
Barron Trump, who was born March 20, 2006, seemed to be as tall if not taller than his mother, Melania Trump, by 2017. Some photos in 2017 and 2018 show the pair walking side by side, almost eye to eye, and she in high heels.
Photos of Donald Trump’s youngest child show him to be as tall if not taller than his father by 2018.
Where does Barron Trump go to college?
Barron Trump is a freshman at New York University. And he's not the only celebrity Bobcat.
After graduating high school from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, the sole child of Donald and Melania Trump started fall 2024 classes at NYU. On Sept. 4, Donald Trump revealed Barron was a student at New York University's Stern School of Business.
The NYU campus is not far from Trump Tower in Manhattan, where Barron Trump spent much of his childhood and lived until his father was sworn in as the 45th president in early 2017. Barron Trump lived in the White House with his parents until 2019, when Donald and Melania Trump permanently relocated to Trump's private club, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
With Barron Trump attending college in New York, it is notable that he is breaking away from family tradition. Barron Trump is not attending the University of Pennsylvania or Georgetown University, which have strong ties to the Trump family. Donald Trump and his other children — Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump — have attended or graduated from the prestigious universities in Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., respectively.
There is, however, one Trump family member with ties to NYU.
The youngest Trump is following much of the family in pursuing a business degree, but forging a new path in choosing New York University’s Stern School of Business, known as NYU Stern. Barron Trump’s brother-in-law Jared Kushner, who is married to Barron’s half-sister Ivanka Trump, has an undergraduate degree from Harvard and business and law degrees from New York University. Kushner graduated from NYU Stern.
Barron Trump is now a “Sternie,” showing #VioletPride and living college life.
In addition to NYU Stern, other undergraduate schools include the Gallatin School, Steinhardt School and Tisch School of the Arts.
Each school has its share of celebrity students, with Barron Trump likely the most famous at NYU Stern.
