Ivanka Trump

Background

Ivana Marie “Ivanka” Trump was born in Manhattan, New York City, on October 30, 1981, to Ivana and Donald Trump. In 1992, her parents divorced. Donald Jr. and Eric are her two siblings. She also has half-siblings, Barron and Tiffany. She went to the Chapin School until she was 15 years old, then to Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut. She then enrolled at Georgetown University before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania. She finished with a bachelor’s degree in economics in 2004.

Trump was destined to channel her skills in this direction because she was born into a family of successful businesspeople. In 2005, she joined her family’s business as Vice President of Development and Acquisitions at the Trump Organization. In 2006, she made her first television appearance, filling in for judge Carolyn Kepcher on her father’s reality show “The Apprentice 5.” When she created a relationship with Dynamic Diamond Corp. and launched Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry in 2007, her entrepreneurship skills really shone. She started her fashion line, which consists of designer clothing, shoes, and accessories. Her fashion company, on the other hand, has been frequently chastised for allegedly copying designs, being hazardous to animals, and failing to meet federal flammability regulations. Many stores later discontinued the brand, but it rebounded following the election. She also hosted the “Miss Teen USA Pageant,” which appeared in the documentary “Born Rich,” and appeared on “Saturday Night Live.” In 2009, she published “The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life,” a self-help book ghostwritten by Daniel Paisner.

In June 2015, she publicly endorsed her father’s presidential campaign. She began to feature in more advertising and was eventually called to speak alongside her father in some states. Her speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention was favorably received, and many praised her influence as a more patient person than Donald Trump. Following Donald Trump’s victory as President of the United States, there was speculation regarding her involvement in the administration. Melania Trump remained in New York to care for her son, thus some speculated that she would be the First Lady. Trump, on the other hand, declared that she had no such interests. She was designated as a Presidential Advisor on March 29, 2017. Trump began dating real estate entrepreneur Jared Kushner in 2005, but the couple split in 2008 after his parents disapproved. However, they returned later and married in a Jewish ceremony on October 25, 2009. They have three kids together.
