Trump was born in New York City. He has two full siblings, Donald Jr. and Ivanka, and two half-siblings, Tiffany, from his father's marriage to Marla Maples, as well as a younger half-brother, Barron, from his father's current marriage to Melania Knauss-Trump.
In 2002, Trump graduated from The Hill School, where he remains an active board member.[2] He joined The Trump Organization in 2006, after graduating with honors from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., with a degree in finance and management and minor in psychology.[3]
[edit] Career
[edit] The Trump Organization
As Executive Vice President of Development and Acquisitions, Trump is actively involved in all aspects of real estate development, both nationally and internationally. From acquisition and development to sales and marketing functions, he plays a pivotal role in more than 70 active real estate Trump projects around the world.
Most recently, Trump oversaw the acquisition of the Kluge Winery and Vineyard in Charlottesville, Virginia, resulting in the development of Eric Trump Wine Manufacturing, LLC.
Alongside his father, Trump is also responsible for the expansion of the Trump National Golf Club portfolio of properties and is involved in all construction, design, membership marketing and daily operations to ensure Trump's brand standards are met. Currently, Trump directly oversees Trump Golf properties in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida and California.
Trump is a prominent fixture in business and has appeared as a speaker for international business and real estate conferences, as well as media outlets such as NBC, CNBC, FOX, Fox Business and The New York Post to analyze or comment on economic and development matters affecting the global economy.
Trump is also a task advisor and boardroom judge on The Apprentice and The Celebrity Apprentice and was prominently featured this season on Donald J. Trump's Fabulous World of Golf, which documents the "behind-the-scenes" workings of the Trump Organization and Trump Golf.
[edit] The Eric Trump Foundation
Five years ago, Trump and his friends created The Eric Trump Foundation (ETF) with the idea that young adults can do more for the community. The foundation strives to improve the lives of children battling life-threatening diseases at Saint Jude Children's Hospital. To date, ETF has nearly $3 million toward this mission and has established itself as a leading global philanthropy by maintaining a lean infrastructure that has allowed ETF to sustain an annual expense ratio of less than 4%. Trump picked Saint Jude Children's Hospital as his beneficiary because no child is ever denied treatment due to their inability to pay.
The main fundraiser for the foundation is the annual golf invitational held at Trump National Golf Club, Westchester, New York, every September. Here 30 golf foursomes compete for one-of-a-kind prizes, including Trump Golf and Hotel packages, as well as A-list celebrity experiences, NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA and NASCAR packages, high-end automobiles and exclusive vacations, followed by an evening dinner and live auction. Notable hosts have included Jimmy Fallon and Bret Michaels.
With plans to expand this Golf Invitational to all Trump National properties within the coming years, ETF aims to raise even more money for Saint Jude Children's Hospital. The foundation also generates donations from a permanent online Charity Buzz auction site.
