Donald Trump's oldest son is preparing for an overseas speaking tour – but not everybody is happy.

Read on to find out where he's going, and what residents are doing to keep him out. 

All dollar amounts in US dollars unless otherwise stated. 

Run by the non-profit Turning Point Australia, Donald Trump Jr's speaking tour will run from 9 to 11 July with stops in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. Turning Point Australia's website describes the events as "intimate" Q&As where the author of Triggered: How The Left Thrives On Hate And Wants To Silence Us and Liberal Privilege will provide a "truly unforgettable evening". 

According to the ticket page, "special guests" Nigel Farage, co-founder of the UK's United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), and controversial Australian Senator Alex Antic will also be making an appearance.

Prices for tickets start at AU$89 ($60.25/£47.45), but guests who want to purchase a 'VIP Meet & Greet' ticket – which includes a "1-on-1 professional photograph on Saturday 8th July plus allocated VIP seating at the show on Sunday 9th July" in Sydney – will need to part with AU$295 ($199/£157). 

The venue for the meet and greet won't be announced until 48 hours before the event. Perhaps this is due to security concerns: it's been reported that Donald Jr will have to spend his own money on the cost of security during his Australian tour, including paying for police protection in Melbourne to tackle expected protests. And that's not the only stumbling block facing the former president's son... 

A number of online petitions have been started to campaign against Donald Jr's visit. The most popular petition, according to SheKnows, is "Stop Donald Trump Jr getting an Australian Visa" on Change.org (pictured). 

With over 18,900 of its required 25,000 signatures at the time of writing, the founder of the petition Kris Eriksen argues that "Donald Trump Jr is an illegal drug-taking bigoted person who should not be allowed to enter Australia for the purpose of earning himself and possibly his father any "Campaign Contributions". 

"Ban him from this country."

It's not clear whether the Australian authorities will respond to the petition, even if it reaches 25,000 signatures. But it's clear thousands of Australians are determined not to let his speaking tour go smoothly, with respondents' reasons for signing ranging from "Donald Trump Jr supported an insurrection" to "We've got enough nut jobs in Australia".

It's not the first time Donald Jr has hit headlines in the last few months: a recent slip of the tongue in an episode of his podcast Triggered sparked ridicule when he accidentally claimed that his father "has the charisma of a mortician and the energy that makes Jeb Bush look like an Olympian". He'd intended to insult Florida governor Ron DeSantis.

Donald Jr's association with his father is making him plenty of enemies both at home and in Australia. But his sister Ivanka has raised eyebrows for the opposite reason: her refusal to endorse his latest presidential bid. In a statement back in November, when Trump announced his 2024 campaign, she said: "I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.

"While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena. I am grateful to have had the honor of serving the American people and will always be proud of many of our administration's accomplishments."

And Ivanka's attempts to distance herself didn't end there. Like her father and brothers Donald Jr and Eric, Ivanka is a defendant in an ongoing fraud investigation into the Trump Organization, spearheaded by New York Attorney General Letitia James. But in a letter to the presiding judge earlier this year, her lawyer Reid Figel argued that "the lawsuit does not contain a single allegation that Ms. Trump directly or indirectly created, prepared, reviewed, or certified any of her father's financial statements. Other individuals were responsible for those tasks."

Many people have read the reference to "other individuals" as an attempt by Ivanka to shift the blame onto her family members. She's since made moves to hire her own separate legal team, despite the fact she used to share lawyers with her brothers.

Critics have speculated that Ivanka – who notably, unlike her brothers, condemned the 6 January Capitol riots – has fallen out with her father, and is distancing herself from his presidential bid in an attempt to preserve her reputation.

Speaking to Fox News this week, Trump himself has now confirmed his children's previous involvement in his campaign has been "painful" for the family, adding: "My family has been through hell. Eric, my son, is a fine boy... A good student, good everything. Ivanka had a really successful line of clothing. I mean, making a fortune. When I [entered the White House] she was really – she closed it up."

One thing's for sure: the Trump children have definitely been "making a fortune" from their famous father.

Read on as we take a look inside the luxurious lives of Donald Jr, Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany, and Barron Trump...

As the eldest child from Donald’s marriage to Ivana, Donald Jr has a reported net worth of around $300 million (£249m) since his father signed over the family business to him and his younger brother Eric.

Prior to making his millions, the 45-year-old graduated with an economics degree from the prestigious Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania before joining his father's real estate empire, The Trump Organization. He's still an integral part of the business and is currently both executive vice president and a trustee.

However, the biggest boost to his bank balance came when his father formally signed over the Trump empire to him and Eric following his presidential inauguration in 2017.

The outspoken businessman has also recently added another string to his money-making bow: he’s signed up to Cameo, where he’s charging fans around $1,500 (£1.2k) for live video calls. 

As Turning Point Australia has promoted, Donald Jr has also written two books, including the 2019 New York Times bestseller Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us. This was followed by the self-published Liberal Privilege: Joe Biden and the Democrats' Defense of the Indefensible in 2020, which retailed at $29.99 (£24.85) a copy. And he's lately taken his interest in publishing to the next level, starting a publishing house with Republican operative Sergio Gor. They currently sell just six books, but the venture has proved quite the money-maker...

Besides Liberal Privilege and a couple of titles by notable Trump supporters, the only books published by Winning Team Publishing are Our Journey Together, the first post-presidential book by one Donald Trump, and his latest offering Letters To Trump.

Our Journey Together features exclusive photographs from Trump's presidency, with captions written by the former POTUS. The title was published quietly in late 2021 but sales proved explosive, netting $20 million (£24.1m) in just a few months. Gor and Donald Jr apparently "can't keep up with the customers" and ordered an extra 300,000 copies to be printed. It's likely Letters To Trump proved similarly successful, as the title was a best-seller on Amazon before it had even been released.

Donald Jr heads up the Trump real estate empire, but he also boasts his own property portfolio, including a 5,900-square-foot Manhattan apartment and a luxe New York cabin.

Alongside brother Eric, Donald Jr is also the co-owner of a 171-acre hunting reserve in NY. And let’s not forget about the $9.7 million (£8m) Florida mansion he bought last year with his partner Kimberly Guilfoyle. His purchase of the 11,000-square-foot property, which has six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, wasn't universally popular; some existing residents in the gated community of Admirals Cove in Jupiter protested their arrival due to Trump's association with the Capitol riots. 

Donald Jr has also spent a chunk of his wealth on a series of hit-and-miss investments, including MSMDF Agriculture LLC, a "hydroponic lettuce company". Another notable investment was his involvement in the purchase of an old Navy hospital in North Charleston, South Carolina. A group of investors bought the site for around $5 million (£4.1m) with plans to renovate the 10-storey building and its 24-acre surroundings. However, the project fell apart with the developers ultimately filing for bankruptcy and suing the county. An agreement was eventually reached, and the site was bought back by the county for $33 million (£27.4m).

Donald Jr has five children of his own with his ex-wife Vanessa Kay Haydon. After 12 years of marriage, Haydon filed for divorce in 2018 with child support and division of property both key parts of the ensuing court case. Having spoken before about his formative years at expensive private schools, it’s safe to assume that Donald Jr's own children are also being put through equally prestigious educations. 

Thanks to her fashion and jewellery lines, not to mention her marriage to real estate magnate Jared Kushner, eldest daughter Ivanka Trump, 41, is also astonishingly rich. According to reports, the couple is worth more than $1 billion (£829m).

Like Donald Jr, Ivanka attended the Wharton School, graduating with a degree in economics in 2004. She then began her career as a real estate manager at the now-defunct Forest City Realty Trust before joining her father’s business in 2005, in which she served as an executive vice president.

In 2007, Ivanka launched Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry with American diamond heir Moshe Lax. They opened a flagship Madison Avenue boutique, but the store eventually closed in 2015. Ivanka has also branched into fashion and beauty.

As well as her own fragrance, Ivanka launched a clothing line that was stocked in Macy's and Bloomingdale's and had affordable prices no higher than $200 (£166). According to Forbes, the label had made $100 million (£82.9m) by 2015. However, once her father began his presidential bid, interest waned. The Washington Post reported that sales had dropped by 55% in 2017.

In 2018, as her father recently noted to Fox News, Ivanka announced she had closed her fashion label to focus on her budding career in public policy. She also left her role as executive VP at The Trump Organization. She worked as a senior adviser to her father’s administration, as did her husband, and was also hired as the director of the Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship. According to Business Insider, Ivanka and Jared made an estimated $83 million (£59m) in 2017, despite not being paid for their political work.

As well as her fashion business and political work, Ivanka has also written two books. The Trump Card: Playing To Win In Work and Life was released in 2009 to questionable reviews, while Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success hit shelves in 2017.

The latter title, published by Penguin, made its debut on The New York Times bestseller list and Ivanka received a colossal advance of $787,500 (£652.4k). But it wasn't quite the success it was expected to be. According to a report in Bustle, the title is believed to have lost Penguin $220,000 (£182.3k) because it simply didn't sell.

Ivanka married real estate heir Jared Kushner in 2009. He brought his own mighty fortune to the table as he’s worth a reported $800 million (£663m). Outside of his family’s property empire, Jared has established himself as a real estate developer and investor.

Purchases of note include his acquisition of 50.1% of the Times Square Building in 2015 for $295 million (£244.5m), as well as The New York Observer, which he snapped up for $10 million (£8.3m) in 2006. He also launched RealCadre LLC, an online real estate platform. His stake in the business is worth an estimated $25-$50 million (£20.7m-£41.4m). 

With their real estate backgrounds, Ivanka and Jared’s property portfolio is naturally impressive. Their most recent acquisition was a $33 million (£27.3m) home on Indian Creek, an exclusive island in Florida. Other residents in the tight-knit community include Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady; Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar; and aviation billionaire Rakesh Gangwal.

The couple also has impressive art investments. Their favoured pieces are predominantly by up-and-coming talent, predominantly men, and their collection is believed to be worth over $25 million (£20.7m).

Ivanka and Jared love jetting off on holidays with their three children and have checked in to everywhere from luxe ski resorts to tropical retreats in the Bahamas. According to Ivanka's Instagram, one recent trip was to Morocco. And naturally, as someone who once ran her own fashion line, Ivanka also has a penchant for exquisite style – she’s been spotted in pieces by high-end designers including Roland Mouret, Oscar de la Renta and Monique Lhuillier. 

As the middle Trump child, Eric, 39, has also pursued a range of business opportunities. With a reported fortune between $150-$300 million (£124m-£249m), how has he made his money? After finishing his degree in finance and management at Georgetown University, Eric joined The Trump Organization, where he is currently a trustee and vice executive president.

In 2006, Eric launched the Eric Trump Foundation, a charity for patients at St Jude’s Children’s Hospital. According to the organisation's website, it raised more than $16 million (£13.3m) for the Memphis-based hospital, although the operations of the charity weren’t without controversy, according to Forbes...

Eric closed the organisation in 2016 after facing questions about whether donors would have political access to his father. But problems first arose in 2014. Speaking after the Foundation's annual charity golf tournament, Eric said: "We just raised an inordinate amount of money, and it all obviously goes to the children of St. Jude." However, further investigation revealed that while an impressive $1.8 million (£1.5m) was raised at the tournament, only $1.2 million (£994.7k) went to the hospital. Of the remaining $600,000 (£497k), around $200,000 reportedly went to organisations with links to the Trump family.

In 2011, Eric launched Trump Winery in Virginia, purchasing the 1,300-acre estate for $8.5 million (£7m). The winery sells around 40,000 cases annually and has even won several awards. As well as wine, customers can purchase everything from apparel to novelty pet merchandise like a Trump Winery dog bandana, with "celebration bundles" and gift vouchers also available. The vineyard also boasts a hotel that hosts everything from weddings to corporate events.

Eric’s other main money-makers relate to the family business. As well as his stake in the Trump International Hotel in Washington DC, the Trump empire was formally signed over to him, along with brother Donald Jr, when his dad became the US president in 2017. While he’s yet to follow in his older siblings’ footsteps by writing a book, Eric did follow their lead by acting as a judge on his father’s TV show The Apprentice for six seasons.

So what does Eric like to do with his reported nine-figure fortune? Together with his wife Lara and their two children, he has a family home in Westchester, NY and a $2 million (£1.7m) apartment in New York City. In May 2021, Eric also purchased a $3.2 million (£2.7m) property in Florida close to the waterfront mansion that Donald Jr and Kimberly Guilfoyle had snapped up earlier that year.

Eric and Lara's new five-bedroom home covers a sprawling 9,982 square feet and is said to be the largest property in the exclusive Trump National Golf Club gated community.

Eric’s past spending hasn’t been without controversy. Eric and Donald Jr have a shared passion for big game hunting, with one particular trip to Zimbabwe sparking outcry from organisations such as PETA. Such hunting trips can cost tens of thousands of dollars and the brothers’ opinion-dividing hobby is backed by their father.

So what about Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump's youngest daughter through his marriage to Marla Maples? Tiffany, 29, has an estimated net worth of around $10 million (£8.3m) but still has plenty of time to catch up with her older siblings. Graduating in 2016 from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in sociology, Tiffany chose to continue her studies with a three-year law course at Georgetown, which reportedly costs $60,000 (£49.7k) a year. Having graduated in 2020, she's currently a research assistant there. 

Although she's largely been overshadowed in the media by her older sister Ivanka, insider reports have sparked rumours that Tiffany is "angling" for a bigger role in her father's re-election campaign. Watch this space...

In terms of money-making ventures, Tiffany released her debut single in 2011. Despite getting a primetime slot on The Oprah Show, the track, Like A Bird, hardly sold, although it enjoyed a brief revival during her father's presidential campaign.

In 2016, Tiffany hinted she might one day join The Trump Organization, suggesting her legal studies would allow her to bring a different skill set to the business. One of the so-called "rich kids of Instagram", Tiffany has amassed 1.3 million followers on the social platform, though she isn't using it to make money yet.

A quick scroll through her Instagram account reveals Tiffany’s love of fashion and travel. Pre-COVID, she shared snaps of herself enjoying everything from pool parties to yacht trips to getaways around Europe and the Bahamas. Her first post-COVID holiday picture, posted on 1 February 2022, shows her walking through the streets of Paris.

In January 2021, Tiffany got engaged to her partner Michael Boulos, a graduate of City, University of London. The pair reportedly met in Mykonos where Tiffany was holidaying with actor Lindsay Lohan. The heir to the billionaire business Boulos Enterprises, which is based in Nigeria, Boulos reportedly boasts his own net worth of $20 million (£16.6m).

Although the cost of the November 2022 wedding wasn't made public, it's likely that no expense was spared when planning the Mar-a-Lago ceremony and its 500-strong guest list... 

At just 17, Barron Trump is the youngest of Donald Trump's five children. Technically still a minor by law, he might not have access to the mammoth Trump family bank accounts yet, but his mother Melania has reportedly ensured through a prenup that her son will receive an equal portion of his father’s fortune when he’s older. 

According to Melania, Barron isn't on social media. Little is known about what he spends his money on, although he's apparently a keen sports player. We also know that he attended Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School before enrolling at St Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland. Both establishments cost a substantial $40,000 (£33.1k) a year.

Prior to his father’s presidency, Barron occupied an entire floor of his parents' Trump Tower penthouse. Town & Country wryly observed at the time that his move from the penthouse to the White House was, technically speaking, a downgrade for the lucky teen. 

Barron is mainly seen accompanying his parents on trips, often travelling by his father's private jet Trump Force One. It’s worth noting that the Trump children have all been criticised for the expensive taxpayer-funded security teams that have accompanied their jaunts during Donald’s political career.

The total cost of protecting the Trump family has proved astronomical; according to CNN, over $1 million (£828k) of New York City money was spent on security for Trump, his children and grandchildren after he was elected president in 2016.

Now see how Donald Trump makes and spends his money
