President Donald Trump talked about his son Barron on his granddaughter's vlog, 1 on 1 with Kai, which was posted to YouTube on Saturday but was filmed in August on a day the president spent golfing with her.
When Kai asked how her uncle was doing at NYU, Trump said, “Good, he’s doing good. He’s a good boy. He loves you. He said, ‘Say hello to Kai, dad.'"
“I said, ‘Barron, why don’t you come out and watch?’ … he’s so cute.”
It's no secret that Barron doesn't share his dad's love of golf. He prefers tennis, and also played soccer in his younger years.
The vlog was filmed a few days before Barron started his sophomore year at NYU's Stern School of Business, but he is attending the smaller D.C. campus this year after spending his freshman year on the New York City campus while living in Trump Tower with his mom Melania.
According to a security officer at NYU's main campus, Barron would be spending a "semester" at the D.C. campus, but it wasn't confirmed whether it would be just a semester or longer than that.
The D.C. campus offers opportunities to do "experiential learning" and to apply for internships. Only 60 to 100 students are at that campus, compared with the 26,000 at the New York City campus.
In addition to attending school, Barron is already pursuing business interests including real estate and cryptocurrency.
The New York Post speculated that he "could have" earned $40 million from the sale of digital assets by World Liberty Financial, his family's crypto company.
Barron was the one who encouraged the family to get into the crypto business--something his dad admitted he didn't know much about.
“Barron knows so much about this,” Trump said after the launch in September. “Barron’s a young guy, but he knows it — he talks about his wallet. He’s got four wallets or something, and I’m saying, ‘What is a wallet?’”
The company has already sold $550 million in tokens, according to reports.
Barron is a co-founder of the company, and Forbes estimated that he would have a 7.5% stake in it.
That's certainly enough money to pay the estimated $32,000 in annual tuition for his studies, although at this point he could probably teach some of his professors a thing or two, it seems.
