Barron Trump is listed in public records as a director of a new beverage business based near Mar-a-Lago.
Filings submitted last month in Florida and Delaware show that Barron Trump is one of five directors of SOLLOS Yerba Mate Inc., described by one of its directors as a “yerba mate beverage company” and headquartered just minutes from the Trump family’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.
Yerba mate – a caffeinated herbal tea popular in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay – has gained traction in the U.S. as a coffee alternative.
FOX Business was unable to independently confirm that the Barron Trump named in the filings is the 19-year-old son of President Donald Trump.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings show the company raised $1 million through a private placement, as first reported by Newsweek.
In addition to Barron Trump, the documents list Spencer Bernstein, Rudolfo Castello, Stephen Hall and Valentino Gomez as directors – two of whom appear to have attended high school with the president’s son.
Bernstein, a Villanova University student who previously attended Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach with Barron Trump, described SOLLOS on LinkedIn as “a lifestyle beverage brand built around clean [and] functional ingredients.”

“I’ve decided to postpone my final semester at Villanova University to focus on something I’ve been building for the past 8 months,” Bernstein wrote last month. “Since the end of last school year I have been working alongside my co-founder, Stephen Hall, and a few close friends on SOLLOS Yerba Mate.”
Hall, now a student at the University of Notre Dame who also attended Oxbridge Academy, said the beverage company is preparing for a spring consumer launch.
An official launch date has not been announced.
The company marks the latest business venture tied to Barron Trump, a sophomore at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
