Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump, is making headlines again—not for politics, but for a potential future role at TikTok. Now 19 and in his second year at NYU’s Stern Business School, Barron has reportedly made millions from cryptocurrency investments, but his earnings might soon come from a high-profile position at the popular social media company.
A former TikTok producer, Jack Advent, who played a key role in Donald Trump’s social media strategy, has suggested that Barron could be appointed to TikTok’s board to help the platform maintain its appeal among young users. TikTok’s user base is overwhelmingly Gen Z, and Barron’s involvement could strengthen its connection with this critical demographic.
Despite Barron’s low public profile during his childhood, his influence on his father’s second presidential campaign became clear. Donald Trump credited Barron with helping him engage younger voters through influencers and podcasts, including pushing appearances on popular platforms like Joe Rogan’s podcast.
TikTok had faced an uncertain future in the US due to security concerns, but President Trump’s executive order ensured it could keep operating once its US assets were handed to American investors. If Barron joins the TikTok board, it would represent a significant step in the app’s ongoing transition and Trump family involvement.
