Barron Trump: College, gap year, other plans for ‘nepo babies’ with a Florida tie

Now that high school graduations are over, next up for class of 2024? College, a gap year or neither.

Like thousands of children across the U.S., Barron Trump, the only child of former president Donald Trump and former first lady Melania Trump, received his high school diploma and was branded part of the class of 2024. Barron Trump graduated May 17, 2024, from Oxbridge Academy near West Palm Beach, Florida, and both parents attended.

Will Barron Trump go to college? Will the 6-foot-7 former first son take a gap year? The former first couple has not said much. One possibility could be New York University in Manhattan, where Barron Trump spent much of his childhood — and lived until his father was sworn in as the 45th president in early 2017.

As of Saturday, June 29, it has not been announced where Barron Trump will attend college, but, like many other celebrity children or "nepo babies" − a shortened slang term (aka "nepotism baby") used to describe children or relatives of celebrities or famous people − people are curious about their future and whether they'll follow in their famous parents' footsteps.

Here's a look at other class of 2024 celebrity high school and college graduates with a Florida tie.
