After years of staying out of the spotlight, Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, 18, emerged as an unexpected online star earlier this year after he attended his father’s victory speech. Almost immediately following the appearance, the world became fiercely fascinated by the six-foot-nine teenager, as millions across the web scrambled to uncover every intimate detail about his personal life.

Barron's sudden thrust into the public eye was almost as quick as his retreat from fame in 2016 after his dad became president. Donald welcomed Barron with his third wife, Melania Trump, while he was in the midst of running his real estate empire and already a huge media star, which meant Barron was propelled into the spotlight from a young age.

At first, the youngster seemed to have a knack for cameras; he appeared on his dad’s show The Apprentice as a toddler and his adorable personal instantly captured viewers attention. Described as a 'little Donald,' Barron even once said that he wanted to grow up to be a business mogul like him, and between his natural ability to wow a crowd and his vivacious personality, many believed he had the makings to one day do just that.

But after his dad was elected as the President of the United States in 2016, everything changed. While the youngster was used to a spotlight being on his family, it reached new levels after Donald entered politics, and he seemed to struggle with the added attention - most of which was negative.
