at 18, he launched his business… in real estate

For the Trumps, real estate is a family affair. After Fred, the grandfather, Donald, the father, it is the turn of Barron, the youngest of the siblings, to launch his own business. According to Newsweek, the 18-year-old student launched a company specializing in luxury real estate development in July 2024. A company he launched with two high school friends called “Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc.”

The company was dissolved a few weeks later, on November 14, 2024, days after Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, to “avoid attracting media attention” during the transition period, according to Cameron Roxburgh, a former classmate of Palm Beach’s Oxbridge Academy (whose year costs $40,000) and Barron’s associate. The latter nevertheless told Newsweek that it would be relaunched “in the spring”, while Melania spoke of her fears about the possibility of Barron continuing his studies at the Stern School of Business at New York University for security reasons.

Helped by Donald Trump

Still according to this associate, Barron’s company should focus on properties and golf courses located in Utah, Arizona and Idaho and would have received advice from the “best”, namely Donald Trump. And if the president-elect would not have given money to launch the company, he would have already made it known that he hoped, eventually, that Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc. would become a subsidiary of the Trump Organization. The company’s headquarters is located at its property in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
