FORMER President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron, was spotted looking stoic among a sea of smiling students as he attended a pricey prom held by his swanky private Palm Beach school.
On Saturday, students at Oxbridge Academy dressed in their finest dresses and suits and coughed up $170 to attend the Monte Carlo-themed dance.

Dubbed “Monte Carlo Nights,” the prom was hosted at the Wyndham Grand Jupiter Hotel, around 20 minutes north of Mar-A-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
On Sunday, Oxbridge Academy shared several photos of the glamorous event on Instagram.
“Luck was in the air, and elegance was the game at Oxbridge Academy’s 2024 Prom,” the school wrote in the caption.
“Swipe through to relive a bit of the magic from that unforgettable evening, and keep an eye out for the full photo gallery coming soon.”

One of the images featured dozens of smiling students posing for the camera.
Barron Trump, 18, can be seen standing far in the back, yet still towering over the other students at 6 feet and 7 inches tall.
Unlike his classmates, the son of the former president appeared to be wearing a very serious expression on his face.
Behind him, a sign reading “A Night in Monte Carlo” can be seen on a wall.
He did not appear in the other images shared online by the private school, which revealed it would be sharing a complete photo album of the exclusive event at a later date.
Students were able to attend the prom by purchasing a ticket for the event – one of which cost a whopping $170.
It was not immediately clear how much cheaper the tickets may have been at an earlier date as the school detailed that its price “increased again on April 12.”
A PRETTY PENNY
Barron Trump has attended Oxbridge Academy since the fall of 2021 and is set to graduate with the 2024 class later this spring.
The private school was founded by William I. Koch, a member of the Koch family, and costs tens of thousands of dollars to attend each year.
For the 2024-2025 school year, it will cost parents $34,500 to send their child to middle school at the academy.
Families with students enrolled in the “upper school” will have to pay $41,500 for the year.
At the time of his enrollment, the private school informed parents that Barron Trump would be attending and Secret Service personnel would be present on the 54-acre campus.
However, the school insisted the Secret Service wanted to have “little impact on our day-to-day operations.”
“They’ve done this for other former presidents’ kids. They’re fantastic,” the school wrote.
Barron celebrated his 18th birthday in late March.

FAMILY TROUBLES
Barron Trump’s night at prom comes just two days before his father appeared in court for the start of jury selection in his criminal hush money trial.
The historic trial marks the first time that any former US president will be tried on criminal charges, as Donald Trump, 77, has been accused of falsifying business records.
The 34 criminal charges are connected to a $130,000 payment allegedly made to adult film star Stormy Daniels approximately one month before the 2015 presidential election.
The payment was allegedly made by Donald Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen in an attempt to keep Daniels from speaking out about her alleged affair with Donald Trump.
The former president has been accused of repaying Cohen for the payment in installments while marking them as legal fees.
He has denied having a sexual encounter with Daniels.
During his appearance in court on Monday, Trump called the trial an “assault on America.”
In the coming months, the former president also faces legal troubles over mishandling classified documents and storing them at Mar-A-Lago after leaving office.
He has also been accused of illegally subverting election results leading up to the January 6 riot as well as attempting to alter the outcome of the 2020 election in Georgia.
