Indeed, his parents have gone to great lengths to protect his privacy, ensuring he grew up away from the media spotlight... well, as much as one can when your dad is a celebrity and president of the United States.

So, what's the scoop on Donald and Melania Trump's youngest?

At first glance, Barron Trump's life could seem a bit like Macaulay Culkin's in 'Richie Rich'—lavish and full of extravagance.

A fun tidbit: reportedly, when Barron was five, he walked into his room one morning and told the family butler, Anthony Senecal, "Anthony, you're fired," mimicking his dad on 'The Apprentice'.

He's Donald Trump's fifth child (his older siblings are Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric from Trump's first marriage to Ivana Zelníčková, and Tiffany from his second marriage to actress Marla Maples).

And, he's Melania Trump's only child, who, according to U.S. tabloids, has been hands-on in raising him without the help of nannies.

Yep, his name was chosen by Donald Trump himself. As he shared on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show:' “It’s a name I’ve always loved but I never had the courage to use,” he said.“I gave the idea to Melania and then I was going to take it away at the very end and she said, ‘You can’t take it away! I’ve been calling him Barron while he’s been in my stomach and you just can’t take it away!’”

Sources close to the family have reportedly told People magazine that his mother has always been incredibly protective of her son.

Bit by bit, we've watched him grow up through the public appearances he's made with his parents.

One of the standout moments was attending his father's inauguration as the 45th President of the United States. At that time, he was just 10 years old.

Barron Trump has grown up, and the physical changes are undeniable. He's left his boyish looks behind and has shot up, now towering over his parents.

There have been times when the media focused on him, like a 2017 article from The Daily Caller that critiqued his attire, prompting other children of former U.S. Presidents to defend him: "It's high time the media & everyone leave Barron Trump alone & let him have the private childhood he deserves," Chelsea Clinton tweeted.

American media report that in recent years, he has been studying at Oxbridge Academy, an exclusive private school in Palm Beach, Florida.

After graduating, People reported that the youngest Trump child will be looking for a university to continue his education.

According to reports, Melania's primary job is looking after Barron, and she might move to wherever he chooses to study. Barron is shy and reserved, and she has been a hands-on mom throughout these years.

His mother has always been there for him. When Donald Trump took office in January 2017, Melania stayed with her son in Manhattan so he could finish his school year. Afterwards, they moved to the White House and enrolled Barron in St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Maryland.

Having been educated at some of the finest private institutions in the United States, there are hints from his mother in interviews that he might follow in his father's footsteps into the world of business and entrepreneurship.

Besides being fluent in English, he also speaks French and Slovenian, the latter with his maternal grandparents, showcasing a diverse linguistic background from a young age.

Publicly known is his love for golf, a passion he shares with his father.

Until now, Barron Trump has been known as "the son of," but gradually, he'll start to take steps to forge his own life, aiming to be known as Barron Trump.
