By now, many are aware that former president Donald Trump’s youngest child, Barron Trump, stands at an impressive 6 feet 9 inches. However, there’s another celebrity child who is quickly catching up in height and making headlines—Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of music icons Beyoncé and Jay-Z, told Meaww.
On Sunday, August 25, the young fashionista was spotted at the Beverly Hills hotspot Cipriani, enjoying a chic lunch with friends. Dressed in a trendy tube top and cargo jeans, Blue Ivy exuded the effortless style of an A-lister. But what caught everyone’s attention was her height. At just 12 years old, Blue Ivy is already nearly as tall as her father, Jay-Z, who stands at 6 feet 2 inches.
Her impressive stature was also on display earlier this year when she joined her father on stage at the 2024 Grammys in February. “I used to say this was a sippy cup for Blue, but Blue’s grown up now. She doesn’t take sippy cups and has her own Grammy!” Jay-Z proudly declared while accepting the Dr. Dre Impact Award. His pride is well justified—Blue Ivy is not only tall for her age, but she’s also making history. In 2021, she became the second youngest artist to ever win a Grammy for her contribution to Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl” music video.
In a moment that solidified her rockstar status, Blue Ivy celebrated her Grammy win by sipping from her gold-plated Grammy statuette, echoing her father’s celebration with a cognac-filled Grammy back in 2013.
Blue Ivy’s height isn’t the only thing setting her apart from her peers. Her life has been filled with luxury and extravagance from the very beginning. After her birth, she left the private Lennox Hill hospital in Brooklyn and entered a world of opulence. One of her first possessions was a $600,000 golden rocking horse, designed exclusively for her by Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka.
For her first birthday, Jay-Z and Beyoncé went all out, gifting their daughter an $80,000 custom-made Barbie doll designed by Tiffany & Co. The doll was adorned with white gold and 160 diamonds, just a small addition to Blue Ivy’s $1 million private nursery at the Barclays Center, where she spent time while her father attended Brooklyn Nets games.
The birthday celebrations didn’t stop there. The power couple hosted a lavish princess-themed party in New York, complete with $95,000 worth of white and pink roses and a $2,000 cake. Blue Ivy’s young friends were treated to a treasure trove of goodies, including $30,000 worth of jewelry sets, princess costumes, and playhouses. Meanwhile, the adult guests received luxury goodie bags featuring personalized gold pens engraved with Blue Ivy’s name and exclusive concert tickets.
As the highest-paid celebrity couple in the world, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are certainly not shy about spoiling their daughter. A source close to the couple told the HuffPost, “Nothing’s been too big or expensive for their little princess. They wanted her first birthday to set the tone for the rest of her life. They work hard for their money, and the first thing they want to spend it on is their baby girl.”
Blue Ivy Carter is not only growing up fast but also making her mark as a young celebrity, both in stature and in influence.
