Ivanka Trump (/ɪˈvɑːŋkə/; born October 30, 1981) is an American businesswoman who is the second child of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, and his first wife, Ivana, as well as the elder of his two daughters. She was a senior advisor in his administration (2017–2021), and also was the director of the Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship.[2][3][4]
Trump was an executive vice president of her family-owned Trump Organization. She was also a boardroom judge on her father's TV show, The Apprentice.[5][6][7] Starting in March 2017, Trump left the Trump Organization to become a senior adviser in her father's presidential administration alongside her husband Jared Kushner. While serving in the White House, she continued to operate her clothing brand business until July 2018, which raised ethics concerns, specifically conflicts of interest.[8] She was part of the president's inner circle prior to becoming an official employee in his administration.[9]
Early life and education
Ivana Marie Trump was born on October 30, 1981,[10] in Manhattan, New York City, as the second child and only daughter of Donald Trump and his first wife, Czech-American model Ivana (née Zelníčková).[11][12] Her father has German[13] and Scottish ancestry.[14] For most of her life, she has been nicknamed "Ivanka", a Slavic diminutive form of her first name Ivana.[15][16] Her parents divorced in 1990 when she was nine years old.[17] She has two brothers, Donald Jr. and Eric, a half-sister, Tiffany, and a half-brother, Barron.
Trump attended Christ Church and the Chapin School in Manhattan until age 15 when she switched to Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut.[18] When Trump was attending boarding school as a teenager, she began modeling "on weekends and holidays and absolutely not during the school year," according to her late mother, Ivana.[19] In May 1997, she was featured on the cover of Seventeen which ran a story on "celeb moms & daughters".[20][19]
After graduating from Choate in 2000,[21] Trump attended Georgetown University for two years before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania, from which she graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in economics in 2004.[22][23] She was the first Jewish member of a first family, having converted before marrying her husband, Jared Kushner, in 2009.[24][25][26]
Career
Business
After graduating from Wharton, her father's alma mater, Trump briefly worked for Forest City Ratner.[27] As Executive Vice President of Development & Acquisitions of The Trump Organization, she was charged with the domestic and global expansion of the company's real estate interests.[28] Trump led the Request for Proposal (RFP) with the GSA in February 2012, resulting in the final selection of The Trump Organization to develop the historic Old Post Office (Washington, D.C.).[29][30] She then oversaw the $200-million conversion of the historic building into a luxury hotel, which opened in 2016.[31][32][33] Soon after joining the Trump Organization in an executive position, she started her jewelry, shoe, and apparel lines which were covered in magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, Forbes Life, Golf Magazine, Town & Country, and Vogue.[34][35] She was featured on the cover of Stuff in August 2006 and again in September 2007.[36]
Independent of her family's real estate business, Trump also had her own line of Ivanka Trump fashion items, which included clothes, handbags, shoes, and accessories, available in U.S. and Canadian department stores including Macy's and Hudson's Bay.[37]
Trump in July 2007
Trump formed a partnership in 2007 with Dynamic Diamond Corp., the company of diamond vendor Moshe Lax, to create Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry, a line of diamond and gold jewelry sold at her first flagship retail store in Manhattan.[38][39] Her flagship moved from Madison Avenue to 109 Mercer Street, a larger space in the SoHo district in November 2011.[40][41] Celebrities were spotted wearing her jewelry including Jennifer Lopez on the
