Ivanka and Jared decided to move away from the White House and start a new life in Miami. Eric is now in charge of the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is studying to become a strategist at NYU.

Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has remained the closest to his father, the president-elect.

At 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns several businesses catering to conservative audiences, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes calculated his current net worth to be approximately $50 million, primarily accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.

His colleagues believe that he has no intention of becoming part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some new administration officials when they tried to control access to his father. This is a risky political move.

While they assess potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is mainly interested in their appearance and communication skills, according to sources.
