• President Donald Trump’s children have enjoyed a bigger spotlight thanks to their father’s political success.
  • While Ivanka, Eric, and Donald Jr. have all seemingly reveled in their semi-newfound fame, Tiffany Trump has kept a lower profile.
  • Here’s a look at the 25-year-old’s life, as Tiffany is coming under fire for taking a trip to Serbia that cost taxpayers at least $23,000.

President Donald Trump’s family make up some of the top members of his administration and frequently voice their opinions to an eager media.

It’s not uncommon to see Ivanka, Eric, and Donald Jr. flash across your TV screen or splashed across the pages of international newspapers.

But Tiffany Trump, 25, who has been called Trump’s “wild-card” daughter, has kept a lower profile than her older siblings.

Here’s a look at the life of the president’s most elusive adult child:

An October 2016 "Saturday Night Live" sketch poked fun at Tiffany's less formalized role in the campaign, as cast member Vanessa Bayer, playing Tiffany, sang that she "killed that convention speech, no lie, but I'll never be Ivanka in your eyes."

Her close proximity to her father's administration in the public eye has sometimes put some of her suspected political beliefs under a microscope.
