Multiple reports indicate that President Donald Trump’s youngest son has become a partner in a beverage startup company.
“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,” Fox Business reported, noting that it has not been able to “independently confirm” that it actually is the 19-year-old son of the president who is named.
The business has $1 million in capital through a private placement, according to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings. The business address listed is close to Trump’s Florida residence, and filings show other directors, Spencer Bernstein, Rudolfo Castello, Stephen Hall, and Valentino Gomez. Bernstein and Hall attended Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach along with Barron Trump, who is currently a sophomore at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
Yerba mate is described as a caffeinated herbal tea that has been popular in South America, and Bernstein depicted 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,” the Villanova University student 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.”
“Company registration data shows the business was initially called SOULSTICE, INC., but the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations rejected this name because it was ‘not available,'” Newsweek reported. “The business was also registered with the SEC with the same directors under the name SOULSTICE, INC., on January 23, 2026.”
Fellow director Hall also noted on LinkedIn that he has been working on the project with Bernstein, “and a few other close friends.”
“The work of everyone involved culminated in a successful pre-seed fundraising round that closed at the start of the year, marking the largest milestone of the company so far,” Hall added, noting that he would “need to momentarily step away” from his studies at Notre Dame.
Barron, the only son of the president with First Lady Melania Trump, has had other business ventures, including being listed as a co-founder of the cryptocurrency company, World Liberty Financial.
“In July 2024, Barron Trump and two partners – including a former classmate – incorporated a real estate firm, Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc., in Wyoming. The company was dissolved on Nov. 14, 2024, days after the presidential election,” Fox Business noted.
