For the Trump children, being born with a silver spoon in their mouths has afforded
them the best opportunities and possessions money can buy. Here's a look into the Trump
children's lavish lives, from their privileged childhoods to the present day.
In high school, Ivanka Trump got gigs as a fashion model due to her father's ties to
Elite Model Management Corporation, according to Vanity Fair, walking the runways of prominent
90’s designers. Her face also graced the cover of Seventeen magazine, and she was a
part of ads for brands like Tommy Hilfiger.
Therefore, it came as no surprise that, for her wedding to Jared Kushner in 2009, she
made high-end sartorial choices. On the day she tied the knot, she wore a custom-made
Vera Wang wedding gown that is estimated to have cost $50,000, according to The Cut. The
lacey dress was said to have been inspired by style icon Grace Kelly. Ivanka told Brides,
"I would say I am a traditional/classic bride. This style is translated in my dress and jewelry
choice."
To accessorize, she donned jewelry handpicked from her own brand, Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry,
which included a diamond hair piece priced at $45,000, a platinum diamond bracelet retailing
for $90,000, and $130,000 earrings. As for her custom-made diamond engagement ring, Express
reported that it is worth more than $500,000.
Donald Trump and wife Melania Trump welcomed their son Barron Trump in 2006. His first
home was a penthouse in Trump Tower, a 68-story skyscraper located in the heart of Manhattan.
As People reported at the time, his digs included an entire floor above his parents' bedroom,
with not only a nursery but a kitchen, living room, and nanny's quarters. The building Barron
spent his childhood in, which is located on the world-famous Fifth Avenue, boasts three
restaurants, a 60-foot waterfall, and a shopping atrium.
It should come as no surprise that Barron was reportedly in no rush to move into the
White House. After Donald's inauguration, Melania and Barron waited months to relocate
to their new D.C residence so Barron could finish the school year in New York. In June
of 2017, they finally made the move, with Melania tweeting:
"Looking forward to the memories we'll make in our new home!"
Back when he called New York home, Barron Trump attended an elite New York City academic
institution: Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School. According to the school's website,
tuition for students in kindergarten through the eighth grade is an eye-popping, bank-breaking
$54,640 a year. BuzzFeed News also learned in 2016 that Donald Trump's foundation donated
$150,000 to his son's school.
Following Donald Trump's inauguration in January 2017, but prior to his family's moving in
to the White House, TMZ reported that Barron and his mother, Melania Trump, were escorted
via motorcade to the school each morning. Streets in New York were also blocked in order
to get them to their destination quickly and safely.
After settling into the White House over the summer of 2017, Barron began his studies that
fall at Maryland's St. Andrew's Episcopal School. According to USA Today, Melania praised
the pricey school, whose yearly tuition is up to $44,590, saying, quote, "It is known
for its diverse community and commitment to academic excellence."
From an early age, Ivanka Trump has been getting pampered on a level most people only dream
of. In an interview with New Beauty, she dished on her first experience at a spa:
"My mother took me for my first manicure at age 7 at the Ritz in Paris, prior to attending
the couture shows. I remember feeling so grown up and incredibly proud and chic."
The hotel's famed salon, the Ritz Club Paris, is considered one of the most luxurious in
the entire city.
As an adult, Ivanka still prioritizes her looks and even employs a makeup artist, who
has been doing her hair and makeup since 2005, according to Refinery29. The first daughter
also opts for top shelf bath and beauty products for her offspring. On Instagram, Ivanka shared
a video of her children washing their hands with imported soap priced at $39 a bar. The
Daily Mail spotted the high-end cleanser in the shot, and recognized the brand as Aesop,
an Australian body care company.
As for the second Trump daughter, Tiffany Trump also indulges in the finest hand care.
She once posted nail polish on social media from celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann
that sells for $20 a bottle.
Donald Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League university
in Philadelphia. He studied at their prestigious Wharton School, which U.S. News and World
Report ranked as the No. 1 business school in the nation. Never one to avoid a chance
to boast, Donald Trump is known to name-drop the institution every chance he gets.
“Highly educated. I went to the Wharton School of Finance.”
Therefore, it's only fitting that he made sure the Trump children followed in his educational
footsteps.
Donald Trump Jr. also attended Wharton, and The Daily Pennsylvanian claimed that the senior
Donald donated $100,000 to the Penn Club of New York during his son's freshman year. It's
no secret that, during his time there, Donald Jr. had a reputation for excessive partying,
and he told New York Magazine:
"To be fairly candid, I used to drink a lot and party pretty hard."
Ivanka Trump also spent her college years at Wharton. In 2019, at the age of 33, she
was honored by the school for her professional accomplishments on the Wharton Magazine's
40 under 40 list.
In 2016, Tiffany Trump graduated from UPenn and commemorated the happy occasion on Instagram.
To continue her education, she went on to study Georgetown Law, becoming the first of
the Trump clan to do so. Upon her graduation, her father tweeted:
"Great student, great school. Just what I need is a lawyer in the family."
The only sibling who did not attend their father's alma mater was Eric Trump, who instead
opted for Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
The only daughter of Donald Trump and Marla Maples, Tiffany Trump might seem less visible
than the older Trump children. As the only adult Trump sibling without a role in her
father’s White House, at least as of the making of this video, some Americans don’t
even know her name. However, Tiffany reportedly uses her time out of the spotlight to enjoy
the many nice things that being a Trump child brings.
As a member of what The New York Times refers to as "The Snap Pack" of young wealthy social
media influencers, Tiffany is famous for taking photos and videos for Instagram and Snapchat
during nights out in New York City. When she steps out in Manhattan, she gets a three-vehicle
convoy to accompany her.
Outside the country, Tiffany has racked up bills for extravagant escapades like a trip
to Berlin, that reportedly cost taxpayers $22,439 in hotel bills for the Secret Service,
as reported by CBS News, and another trip to Serbia that amounted to $23,000 in fees,
according to Quartz.
As for her boyfriend in 2020, Michael Boulos, he's no stranger to living the high life either.
With a net worth of $20 million, he's an heir to the fortune of his father, the owner of
several multibillion-dollar companies, according to Town & Country.
During their childhood, the Trump children spent their summers and weekends in a 50,000
square-foot mansion called Seven Springs in Westchester, New York. In an interview with
Forbes, Eric Trump reminisced about the memorable times he had there, saying:
"I've spent so much time learning the art of the deal here on this property. It's a
special place for me, and one that I'll always remember."
The grounds consist of 230 acres, and the house has 60 rooms. It even includes a bowling
alley and three pools, according to Town & Country.
Besides having this home as a retreat, the Trump children also have a tropical getaway
in Palm Beach, Florida, at their father's Mar-a-Lago estate. Their dad turned the house
into a private club, complete with a 20,000-square-foot ballroom, a library stacked with rare books,
and gold-plated sinks, according to Town & Country. When the Trumps vacation in this opulent oasis,
they stay in their own private wing.
According to Vanity Fair, this was the place that Ivana Trump and her children escaped
to during her husband's cheating scandal with Marla Maples.
The president is often criticized for playing golf, especially when the country falls on
hard times. In fact, Yahoo! News reported that, during the coronavirus pandemic, President
Donald Trump was found blowing off steam on the course a staggering 25 times by September
2020 — and not everyone was happy about it.
President Trump owns 19 golf clubs, and his chips off the old block are actively involved
in the acquisition of these sprawling properties. A month after their father took office, Donald
Trump Jr. and Eric Trump wasted no time in adding another club to their growing roster.
According to Golf magazine, the pair traveled to Dubai to open the Trump International Golf
Club there. The course reportedly covers a stretch of 7,300 yards, and includes a 30,000-square-foot
clubhouse, restaurant, lounge, fitness center, and pool. There are also reportedly plans
to open a second golf club in Dubai – called World Golf Club, Dubai – to be designed
by golf icon Tiger Woods.
Notably, on a trip the boys took to Dubai to check on the club and attend the wedding
of their business partner's daughter, they racked up $73,000 in security costs, according
to CBS News.
Eric Trump serves as the owner and president of Trump Winery, the largest winery on the
East Coast. Trump-branded whites, reds, and sparkling wines are all bottled on the Charlottesville,
Virginia grounds. The property is also home to a 26,000-square-foot, 45-room mansion that
serves as a hotel with a croquet lawn, card room, hot tubs, and a movie theater.
According to the company's website, Eric is at the helm of all aspects of winemaking,
overseeing sales, marketing, and global distribution at the property Donald Trump purchased in
2011.
Over the years, Eric has gotten into hot water for insensitively promoting the collection
at inopportune moments during the Trump administration. Not long before his father's impeachment trial,
he infamously tweeted:
"It is a perfect day for a nice bottle of this. These people are — insane...."
He included a photo of a bottle of 2016 vintage Trump Meritage Monticello red wine. According
to Salon, on the day that his dad put a temporary hold on the issuing of some green cards for
immigration, Eric Trump wrote in a since-deleted tweet:
"The team at @TrumpWinery has you covered if your quarantine wine supply is running
low! Check us out."
Not many children can claim to have ice skated on their very own public rinks. But, because
of their father, the Trump children glided over the ice in Central Park. In 1986, Donald
Trump took over the project of renovating the Wollman Rink in New York, with over $2
million dollars worth of work required. In an interview with The New York Times, he said:
"I don't want my name attached to losers. So far the Wollman Rink has been one of the
great losers. I'll make it a winner.”
Trump made that dream a reality, and has since been tied to two Central Park skating rinks,
including Lasker Rink. His children are proud to call the coveted landmarks their own. Ivanka
Trump posted a throwback photo on Instagram, fondly remembering ice skating with mom Ivana
"at The Trump Rink." In 2015, Ivanka took to Instagram to show a photo of daughter Arabella's
first time learning to ice skate there.
