Barron Trump, the 19-year-old son of President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, recently shut down an entire floor of Trump Tower in Manhattan for a private romantic evening, according to multiple reports published September 29, 2025.
A source briefed on the matter told Page Six that the decision to close off the floor was strictly for security reasons rather than showing off the family’s real estate empire. The towering 6-foot-7 college student hosted what sources described as a romantic meet-up at the Fifth Avenue skyscraper bearing his family’s name.
While bringing a date to a building with one’s surname might appear to be an ultimate display of wealth, sources emphasized that security concerns drove the location choice. The young Trump scion requires extensive protection, necessitating the floor closure to ensure privacy and safety during the evening.
Barron currently resides at the White House while attending classes at New York University’s Washington campus, where the fall semester began September 2. The elite program offers courses in politics, public policy, history, economics, and journalism at the university’s capital city outpost.
During his freshman year at NYU’s main Greenwich Village campus, the president’s youngest son attracted considerable attention from female students. A fellow student described his campus presence, noting that despite being tall and awkward, sources indicated “he had a lot of girls running after him.”
A source told People magazine in December that Barron, who attends NYU’s Stern School of Business, is studying business and has developed a reputation as a ladies’ man. The source characterized him as really popular with female students, describing him as tall and handsome, with many people finding him attractive, including those with liberal political views.
The young Trump’s social life operates under unique constraints due to security concerns. Sources revealed in April that he cannot distribute his personal phone number to new college friends due to fears it might leak to the public. Instead, he communicates with classmates through Xbox gaming console chat platforms and Discord messaging services.
A source explained that sharing his personal number creates more trouble than it’s worth, as recipients might distribute it widely, resulting in constant calls from strangers. This would necessitate frequent number changes, creating what sources described as a continuous cycle of communication disruption.
Despite his imposing stature, Barron has maintained a relatively low public profile recently. He was photographed in March arriving at Trump Tower with his mother while wearing a Rolex watch valued at approximately $50,000.
Forbes recently estimated Barron’s net worth at $150 million, attributing this wealth primarily to strategic investments in cryptocurrency. This substantial fortune sets him apart from typical college students who attend university hoping to secure future financial success.
As the child of a sitting president, Barron receives Secret Service protection, which significantly impacts his ability to maintain a normal college social life. His mother previously acknowledged that it would be unlikely for him to have a typical college experience, noting that his university life differs substantially from that of other students.
The Washington campus, where Barron currently studies, enrolls approximately 60 to 100 students each semester. The program emphasizes deep engagement with politics, policy, business, journalism, and leadership through both coursework and experiential learning opportunities in the nation’s capital.
The Trump Tower incident highlights the extraordinary security measures required for the president’s family members, even during private social activities. The building closure demonstrates how normal college experiences like dating require extensive logistical planning when Secret Service protection is involved.
