While Donald Trump may be the most famous member of the Trump household, he’s certainly not the only one who has made a name for themselves. From reality TV stars to fashion moguls, the Trump family tree is full of celebrities who have achieved fame and success. The eight individuals listed here represent some of the most prominent and influential members of the Trump family who have made names for themselves beyond their famous surname.
#1 Ivanka Trump
As the eldest daughter of Donald Trump, Ivanka has been in the spotlight since childhood. She’s a businesswoman, fashion designer, and former model who has appeared on numerous magazine covers such as Forbes Life, Vogue, and Marie Claire among others. Ivanka served as a senior advisor to her father during his presidency and has been a popular figure among his supporters. Ivanka even authored a self-help book back in 2009 titled The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life. She is married to Jared Kushner.
#2 Donald Trump Jr.
The eldest son of Donald Trump, Don Jr. is a businessman. He appeared alongside his father as a boardroom advisor on The Apprentice (2006 – 2015) and has been a vocal supporter of Trump’s political campaigns. As a trustee and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, Trump Jr. runs the company alongside his younger brother Eric. He is known for his controversial social media presence and has faced criticism for his hunting trips and meetings with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential campaign. His book Triggered (2019) topped the New York Times’ nonfiction bestseller list.
#3 Eric Trump
Much like his father and older brother, Eric Trump found his calling as a businessman and reality television personality. He has worked for the Trump Organization since 2006 and has made several appearances on The Apprentice, starring in a total of 23 episodes. Eric landed in hot water when Forbes wrote an exposé accusing the Trump Foundation, (a public charity he had set up back in 2007), of funneling funds intended for cancer patients into the Trump Organization. Eric is married to Lara Yunaska.
#4 Tiffany Trump
Tiffany Trump, the only child of Donald Trump and his former wife Marla Maples, is a socialite and social media influencer. Although she maintains a low profile (at least in comparison to her siblings), Tiffany has a large following on social media, with her Instagram account alone having 1.3 million followers. Tiffany has previously shown interest in the fashion world when she interned for Vogue in 2015 and appeared on the runway during 2016’s New York Fashion Week. Tiffany graduated from Georgetown Law School in 2020 and also holds a B.A. in psychology. She actively supported her father during his presidential runs in 2016 and 2020.
#5 Barron Trump
Barron is the youngest child of Donald Trump, and the only child he has with Melania Trump. He has already made headlines for his stylish fashion choices and public appearances, despite being a teenager. Barron attended a private school in Manhattan before moving to the White House with his parents in 2017. He is fluent in both English and Slovenian, the latter being his mother’s native tongue.
#6 Jared Kushner
Jared Kushner is the husband of Ivanka Trump. He played a key role in managing Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016. He served as a senior advisor to Donald Trump during his presidency and was involved in several high-profile initiatives, including the Middle East peace process. Kushner is also a long-time businessman, investor, and real estate developer.
#7 Lara Trump (née Yunaska)
Lara Trump is the wife of Eric Trump and a former TV producer who has been active in Republican politics. She worked as a senior consultant for her father-in-law’s 2020 re-election campaign and has been a frequent commentator on conservative media outlets, including Fox News. In 2023, Lara made her foray into the music industry with her cover of Tom Petty’s solo hit I Won’t Back Down. She has hinted at a possible run for political office in the future.
#8 Melania Trump
As Donald Trump’s wife and the First Lady of the United States from 2017 to 2021, Melania Trump played a key role in hosting foreign dignitaries at the White House and representing the United States on the world stage. Born in Slovenia, the former model, known for being elegant and fashionably attired, has appeared on the covers of numerous fashion magazines including Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Melania is also a businesswoman, having launched a jewelry line and a skincare collection.
