Kai Trump, the granddaughter of former President Donald Trump, has announced her latest name, image, and likeness (NIL) partnership with the energy drink brand Accelerator Active Energy. The University of Miami golf commit joins the company as an equity partner, aligning herself with a roster that includes LSU gymnastics star Olivia “Livvy” Dunne and NFL standout Travis Kelce.
Trump, 18, brings significant social media clout to the deal, boasting more than 6 million followers across her platforms. She is represented by GSE Worldwide, the same agency that manages professional athletes like Bryson DeChambeau and Lexi Thompson.
To promote the announcement, Kai filmed a video titled “Kai’s Announcement” at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. She appeared on Fox & Friends Monday morning to discuss the partnership, her golf career, and the influence of her grandfather.
“He really just taught me to keep on fighting and keep on practicing,” Kai said. “I’ve loved playing golf with him my whole life. It’s the reason that we share a special bond together.”
Earlier this year, she also signed a sponsorship deal with TaylorMade, further cementing her growing presence in the golf and influencer space.
A rising senior at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida, Kai is a member of the school’s girls’ golf team. Her popular YouTube channel, with 1.7 million subscribers, features cooking segments with her mother, golf tutorials with friends, and exclusive behind-the-scenes looks at the White House.
