Donald Trumps granddaughter soared to fame after making stealing the spotlight at the RNC in July to become the stand-out star of the Trump dynasty.
But behind the scenes, she is still a schoolgirl, sharing her mall outings with friends, homecoming prep and passion for golf with more than half a million new followers.
Kai, still only 17, is set to rake in her own fortune as she starts to share her unique perspective on the Trump family with fans - all the while pursuing a professional career in golf, a hobby she shares with her grandfather.
While Kai is often seen at major political events alongside the rich and famous, she still spends her time making brunch at home, getting Starbucks and going to the gym like a normal 17-year-old American.
And although she remains committed to a future in sport, speculation has grown since her first foray into the public sphere that she could one day take over the reins, launching a third generation of the Trump political dynasty.

Kai Trump quickly amassed a following of over 500,000 people after taking to the stage at the RNC on July 17 in the wake of Trumps assassination attempt.
While she continues to make golf-related content, her channels through the election shared rare insight into intimate moments on the couches of Trumps Mar-a-Lago home through the intense build-up to the results.
She returned to the stage last Wednesday for Trumps victory speech, joining her father, Donald Trump Jr, and the extended family in a moment of celebration.
No one works harder or cares more about the American people. Congratulations Grandpa, I love you! she wrote after Trump earned big wins in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Since then, Kai has been pictured out with X owner and Trump ally Elon Musk on the green, writing that he was achieving uncle status.
But for the part, Kai reveals she lives a fairly ordinary life.
The teenager, who is in her junior year at the Benjamin School, made her YouTube debut with a diary-style video on YouTube two weeks ago.
Over 12 minutes, she documented her journey from a Starbucks to the gym, before buying groceries and making food at home.
One user remarked: You would never know what family shes from! Shes so regular! She goes to the gym, wears ppp hoodies, gets coffee with her friends and goes to the mall.
I love seeing this side of her and her family! Its not often that we see anything but the picture of perfection from anyone remotely close to politics. Keep it up Kai!
Kai later took a Tesla Cybertruck to a golf course where she practiced her skills and trick shots - even leaving in the cuts where she made mistakes.
The confident teenager carried on to the mall with their best friend to pick out outfits and tech before talking food and hair in the car.
The video ended with Kai getting ready for homecoming before shooting hoops in the garden and thanking viewers for their time.
The rare glimpse into the life of the Trumps was viewed 1.4million times in the first two weeks.
Users praised Kai on her manners, commending Don. Jr and his ex-wife for their rearing.
In the weeks since, Kai has amassed a considerable following centering around golfing, a passion she shares with her grandfather.
Shes good at it, too; in March, Kai won the ladies club championship at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach.
Her impressive swing, nearly 260-year drive and dedication to the sport helped earn her the Varsity Captain position at her school.
Her longest drive is said to be 275 yards. Only 14 players on the LPGA averaged longer in 2023.
She is, now, reportedly being recruited to play at the collegiate level and says her goal is ultimately to go pro.
Golf has always been a massive part of my life and is my biggest passion, she wrote on her website, which features a video highlight reel of her on-course play.

I would also like to thank my entire family for always encouraging and pushing me to be the best person I can possibly be. I would like to thank my friends for always cheering me on, she continued.
Last but not least I would love to thank Coach Janice and Coach Jim for giving me this opportunity. I am supper excited to be a cane and represent the University of Miami. Gooo Canes!
Kai has already met Tiger Woods and his fellow major winners Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed.
And she has played with big-hitting Bryson DeChambeau, Swedish professional Daniela Holmqvist, two-time world long drive champion Kyle Berkshire and other promising youngsters.
Kai kept out of politics until July, but has stood by her grandfathers side through the course of the election.
In response to the July 13 Pennsylvania shooting, she broke from her usual content, sharing an image of her wounded grandfather with the caption, ‘We love you Grandpa. Never stop fighting!’
She reportedly asked her grandfather if she could speak at the Republican National Convention soon after.
Kais parents walked her through proceedings ahead of her speech, her first major foray into the public sphere.
She used the opportunity to praise her grandfather and talk of him as a normal grandpa.
A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell, and hes still standing, she told thousands of cheering GOP delegates.
Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you.
To me, hes just a normal grandpa, Kai went on.
He gives us candy and soda when our parents are not looking. He always wants to know how were doing in school.
When I made the high honor roll, he printed it out to his friends how proud he was of me.
Her Instagram following grew by 60,000 after the event, up to 185,000. Today, it sits at 571,000.

I havent seen my grandpa in a while because hes been campaigning, she told the camera as she drove to his massive Florida estate.
Obviously with the last few days its been really hard to see him because hes been traveling.
Im super excited to see him again. Hes been calling me almost every other day. Im ready to party it up tonight and hopefully we [win], fingers crossed.
Kai confessed that she was very nervous but added that she felt hopeful her grandfather would bring it home.
I think hes going to do amazing for this country. He works so hard and I dont know anyone who is more hardworking and driven than him, she gushed.
Kai joined the extended family on couches as they watched the results roll in.
Don Jr., Eric Trump, and Barron Trump and daughters Tiffany Trump and Ivanka Trump were joined by Ivankas husband, Jared Kushner, and billionaire Tesla founder Elon Musk, amongst others.
Unfortunately, the teenager explained that she didnt get to film the end of the night because she was busy celebrating, but spoke out about what went down.
It was just a really special moment for all of us. Im extremely proud of him, I think he deserves it more than anyone in the whole world.
He really has worked his butt off every single day for the past eight years for this country.
The election night was really special for our whole family because we fought to the very end, she added. He really deserves it after what everyone has put him through.
Kai called her grandfather such an incredible and unique person who fights every single day for America.

He always encourages me to be the most successful person I can be, Kai said of her grandfather.
Obviously he sets the bar pretty high. But who knows, maybe one day Ill catch him.
