How Tall Is Barron Trump?

By BRANDON BOMBAY, F.T.

Barron Trump, the sixteen-year-old son of Donald and Melania Trump, gets a little less media attention than his grown-up siblings (not to mention his parents). Photos published by the Daily Mail of Barron and his mom leaving Trump Tower shocked the public due to the teen's unexpected height.

Melania Trump stands at 5-foot-11 and was wearing heels in the photos, yet Barron towers over her at 6-foot-7. Some shocked Twitter users joked about the teenager's chances of making the NBA, with one netizen writing, "Fast forward to 2025. Starting at center for the New York Knicks, Barron Trump".

Melania has said that Barron is "all into sports," so from a purely physical standpoint, it wouldn't be shocking to see him on an NBA court. Barron is not only taller than other boys his age, who have an average height of 5-foot-6; he also towers over most young adults, as most men over 20 average out around 5-foot-9.
