Before becoming a mom, Ivanka Trump would work as a model, appear on The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice, and help her father Donald Trump in his 2016 presidential campaign.
Ivanka's excellent business sense and beauty were so tremendous that even her father couldn't help but take notice. Her terrific talent and very close relationship with Donald led to her playing a huge role in his presidential campaign.
Many people think that Donald Trump's secret weapon is his daughter. Ivanka became an executive in her father's real estate business and the founder of her own classy lifestyle brand, a published writer, and these are just a few of her many accomplishments.
Ivanka's Childhood
Ivanka Trump grew up in the lap of luxury, the daughter of real estate mogul Donald Trump and his ex-wife, former athlete, and model Ivana Trump. Born the same year as Paris Hilton, Ivanka could easily choose the lifestyle of a sex tape leaking party wealthy.
But instead, she chose a different path and image for herself. Ivanka studied at Georgetown as well as her father's alma mater Wharton and has worked as a model, a businesswoman, and an entrepreneur before joining the Trump organization as VP of development and acquisitions.
Her excellent work ethic even won over some of her father's haters like Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly.
Young Ivanka attended an all-girls private school in Manhattan known as Chapman School until she was 15. She then moved to Wallingford, Connecticut, to attend Choate Rosemary Hall, an elite private boarding school where one year's tuition now cost more than fifty thousand dollars, but they could afford it.
Modeling Career
When she was 14 years old, Ivanka decided to get into the world of modeling, and soon she signed with Elite Model Management. By 16, she had already walked runways for Thierry Mugler, Marc Bouwer, and Versace. She was featured in Elle, co-hosted Miss Teen USA, and appeared on Seventeen Magazine's cover.
The Truth About Ivanka Trump's Husband
In 2007, Ivanka started dating American investor Jared Kushner. Kushner's fortune, like Donald Trump's, comes from real estate. His company's headquarters are just across the road from his father-in-law's. Both families were outsiders to Manhattan big time.
The Kushner's are from a small town in New Jersey. Jared's grandparents were holocaust survivors. The local school proudly bears its name: Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy. But the family name was tarnished 16 years ago in a scandal involving Jared's father, according to The New Yorker. Amid a family feud, he was sent to jail for tax evasion and witness tampering. He'd hired a prostitute for his bro-in-law and had him secretly firmed as he tried to stop him from speaking to prosecutors. Just 24, Jared found himself running the family business and ambitiously bought one of the city's newspapers.
Who Is Ivanka Trump's Son, Theodore James Kushner?
The couple married in a Jewish ceremony on October 25, 2009, and have three children: daughter Arabella Rose Kushner and sons Joseph Frederick Kushner and Theodore James Kushner.
Ivanka shared an adorable photo of wild-haired baby Theodore smiling and happy. The five-year-old grinned widely as he rode a stuffed elephant. Little Theodore has been the star of his mother's Instagram with his adorable smile. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Theodore is a very healthy and happy child.
