Barron Trump is living a “reclusive” life amid threats from Iran — including a $10 million bounty, according to a new report from the New York Post.
A “longtime Trumpworld figure” told The Post that President Donald Trump’s 20-year-old son, his only child with wife Melania Trump, “doesn’t go out.”
Another source told the paper, “The kid’s pretty reclusive.”
“You don’t see him hanging around,” yet another source said, describing Trump’s son as moving quickly in public spaces wherever he is staying.
According to the sources, he sticks to “avoiding public areas and heading straight to his private retreats.”
Barron Trump, who runs an energy drink business and just finished his sophomore year at New York University, was last seen in July, watching the World Cup with his family.
Trump’s son was reportedly “deeply affected” by the September 2025 assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, with whom he was close.
Barron Trump has also faced threats amid the ongoing Iran war.
Iranian state TV recently broadcast a three-minute video from Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-linked media that asked, “Where and how should we kill Barron Trump?” according to a translation from Euronews.
The video claimed to track Barron Trump’s movements and put a $10 million bounty on his head. A similar video threatening both him and First Lady Melania Trump also aired in July.
The first lady reportedly asked for an extension to Barron Trump’s Secret Service detail in 2022, which was granted by then-President Joe Biden.
The Office of the First Lady urged privacy for Barron Trump amid “recent threats” and said that “any details concerning his private life be excluded from all coverage.”
