One of Donald Trump’s youngest children finally stepped into the spotlight on Tuesday by speaking in support of her father, now one of the most famous men in the world, at the Republican National Convention.

Tiffany Trump's name was top of Google’s trending searches after her effusive speech about Mr Trump's suitability for the role of US President as people scoured the web for information on one of the Republican nominee's lesser-known children.

The 22-year-old is Mr Trump’s only daughter from his second marriage to Marla Maples, which officially ended in 1999, and the billionaire's second youngest child after his son Barron, 10.

In her RNC programme profile, Tiffany’s description used language more suited to that of a celebrity: she is referred to as a “model, singer and influential presence on social media".

She does have a relatively strong following on social media with 170,000 followers on Instagram. But with 34,000 followers, her Twitter count is much lower than those of her social media-savvy brothers and sister. Ivanka Trump has 1.3 million, Donald Trump Jr has 521,000 and Eric Trump has 360,000 followers. Of course, all of the Trump offsprings’ followings are dwarfed by the patriarch himself, whose personal newspaper, as he once referred to it, has 9.9 million readers.

She was raised separately from her siblings

Tiffany moved to California at the age of five and was brought up by her mother while her father and siblings were based in New York. In a 2011 segment filmed for the Oprah Show, Tiffany explained how she developed a close relationship with her mother because she raised her “as a single mom”.

In the same segment, she described her close relationship with her siblings and her pride in their success, while being more vague about her own ambitions. “I’m 17 so I’m just growing and learning and I have a strong head on my shoulders. Since I have grown up on the west coast it definitely is different than all of them growing up on the east coast."

In an 2015 interview with Dujour magazine, Tiffany said of her father: “I don’t know what it’s like to have a typical father figure. He’s not the dad who’s going to take me to the beach and go swimming, but he’s such a motivational person.”

She has dipped her toes into fashion and music

Tiffany has interned at Vogue and expressed a keen interest in fashion.

She also released a pop song in 2011, “Like a Bird” and recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, the same institution attended by her father. Whether she has any intention to pursue her pop ambitions remains to be seen.

She is ambitious

It is not clear what Tiffany plans to do next after graduating, but she has voiced a desire to follow the path set by her family and attend either a business or law school.

Her friends are from incredibly privileged stock

Tiffany has been spotted spending time with members of the so-called “rich kids of Instagram” and children of prominent wealthy American investors such as her close friend Andrew Warren, Harry Brant, Peter Brant Jr and Gaia Matisse, the great-great granddaughter of Henri Matisse. Her gaggle of wealthy heir and heiresses were recently dubbed ‘the Snap Pack’, the next Brat and Rat Pack, by The New York Times.
