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.
