What’s the most extravagant gift Barron Trump has received over the years? Ellen DeGeneres gave Donald and Melania’s son a golden stroller, while Vladimir Putin presented him with a soccer ball
Not many teenagers can say their parents’ jobs come with major perks. Barron Trump may have grown up with the pressure of being in the White House spotlight, but Melania and Donald Trump’s young son has managed to bag some pretty cool gifts to date, too. But just who is showering him with such extravagance?
Most newborns might receive clothes, toys or other supplies that parents require for their care, but babies born into billionaire families can expect plenty more. When Barron was born, Ellen DeGeneres gave him a chandelier. The talk show host didn’t buy baby Barron the luxury lighting fixture for his nursery in Trump Tower, where he had an entire floor above his parents’ bedroom with its own kitchen and nanny quarters. The ceiling bling was, in fact, for the inside of a golden stroller she had also given him. Seems about right for a Trump.
"Trumps’ $100 million triplex penthouse, gifts from friends – including a golden stroller complete with its own chandelier (courtesy of Ellen DeGeneres) and gazillions of onesies – greeted Barron’s arrival. “It’s fun,” says Melania of the stroller. “It makes you laugh.” - People
Last week, Ellen DeGeneres fraudulently used false copyright claims to censor my critique of her erasing Bush's Iraqi victims.

The stroller also matched the gold interiors of the Trumps’ US$100 million penthouse in New York. According to People magazine, at the time Melania said of the gift, “It’s fun. It makes you laugh.”
However, DeGeneres was blasted after details of the one-month-old’s gift were made public, with netizens calling it “grotesque”.
She wasn’t the only celebrity showering gifts on baby Barron – many stars reportedly gave him onesies with his dad’s famous catchphrase from reality TV show The Apprentice, “You’re fired!”, emblazoned across the front.
Journalist and TV personality Barbara Walters gave him a giant stuffed dog toy, and fashion designer and furrier Dennis Basso got him a mink coverlet.

The public doesn’t know much about Barron, but it’s clear he’s an avid football fan, and his parents constantly referring to his love of sports has paid off. During a World Cup announcement in July 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the former US president a football, which Donald promptly handed to Melania, saying it was going straight to Barron.
But the most extravagant gift of all might have come from Khaltmaa Battulga, the president of Mongolia, who gave Barron a horse. The leader made the grand gesture during a visit to Washington when Barron was 13 years old. Donald called the animal, named Victory, “beautiful” after he was shown an image of it, while former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said the Trumps were “very grateful” for the gift.
It’s not the first time Mongolia has presented dignitaries with a horse as a symbolic gift. US President Joe Biden was given one when he visited the nation under Barack Obama’s administration, as were former US defence secretaries Chuck Hagel and Donald Rumsfeld. Like those horses, however, it’s unlikely Victory will actually get to travel to the United States.
