Barron Trump is a member of one of the most famous families in the world, but that doesn't mean he wants to be in the spotlight.
The 20-year-old son of President Donald Trump prefers to stay out of the limelight since becoming aware of the growing "interest" in him, according to his sister-in-law, Lara Trump.
Lara, who is married to Barron's half-brother Eric Trump, shared an insight into her brother-in-law while answering questions from listeners on her The Right View with Lara Trump podcast.
When one listener asked, "What is Barron Trump like? Does he like that the entire internet is obsessed with him?" Lara hinted that Barron would much prefer to stay in the background.
"I feel like he's the sleeper," she said. "You want to hear more about Barron 'cause you see less of him. And I think that's kind of cool."
While she isn't sure if Barron knows that the internet is "obsessed" with him, she revealed that he "knows that there's a lot of interest," which is "why he likes to lay low."
"That's why he likes to play it cool. That's why you don't see him all the time," she explained. "It's crazy because I've seen Barron grow up, which means I'm 160 years old. ... But he's turned out to be a really great kid."

"I think he's got two years left of college, but he's excited to finish college and get out and work, which I love," she said.
And just because Barron prefers to stay in the shadows, it doesn't mean he isn't fully aware of "what's going on out there" in the world.

"And Barron and I were the only two that said, 'That's AI. You guys are all wrong. It's AI.' We were right. Proved it that night."
Barron returned to Washington, D.C. for his sophomore year in 2025 after spending his freshman year living in Trump Tower in Midtown, where he was raised for the first decade of his life before moving to the White House.

Before he began his college education, his dad admitted that they had considered his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, before deciding on the Stern School of Business.

I've known NYU for a long time. It's one of the highest rated." Donald didn't express any disappointment over Barron's decision to attend Stern instead of Wharton.
