Donald John "Don" Trump Jr. (born December 31, 1977) is an American businessman and former reality TV personality. He is the oldest child of real estate developer and President of the United States, Donald Trump, and his first wife, Czech model Ivana Trump. He currently works alongside his brother Eric as a trustee of The Trump Organization. A longtime company Executive VP and sole controller of the company’s commercial leasing operation, in his trustee role he and his brother will run the company during his father's presidency.

Trump was born on December 31, 1977 in Manhattan, New York City, to Ivana Marie (née Zelníčková) and Donald John Trump. He has two younger siblings, Ivanka and Eric. He also has two half siblings, Tiffany, from his father's marriage to Marla Maples, and Barron, from his father's current marriage to Melania Trump. Trump was particularly close to his maternal grandfather and claims he is fluent in Czech.

His parents' widely publicized divorce affected Trump, who as a child encountered reporters asking about his father's affair with Maples. To protect her children, Ivana Trump sent her children to boarding school. Trump was educated at The Hill School, a university-preparatory boarding school in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, followed by the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, where he earned a B.S. degree in Economics.
