Life and career

Peter Mark Brant Jr. was born December 30, 1993, and raised in Greenwich, Connecticut.[1] He is the son of art collector Peter M. Brant and model Stephanie Seymour.[2] His paternal grandparents were Bulgarian Jewish immigrants.[3][4]

In 2011, Brant publicly came out as gay.[2][5][6]

In 2014, Brant was quoted in a Harper's Bazaar profile of him, his brother Harry and mother, Stephanie, about enjoying his clan's notoriety, "We had to do a report about our parents: where they were born, what they did, and all that. Everyone else had to do theirs as homework, but I finished mine before class ended using Wikipedia."[7]

Brant attended Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.[8]

In 2015, Peter along with his younger brother Harry, in collaboration with Mac Cosmetics, launched a unisex cosmetics line aimed at the gender fluid youth movement.[9][10][11]

In March 2016, Brant was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport after a "drunken ruckus", during which he assaulted a police officer.[12] Brant's lawyer referred to him as an "idiot."[13]
