Melania Trump "richer than you think": zoom on the exorbitant price of her wardrobe ... and the amount of her fortune
If Melania Trump is not very popular because of the political ideas of her illustrious husband, she nevertheless remains a true fashion icon. Always dressed to the nines and perched on high heels, every day she honors her status as the first lady of the United States ... And this, not thanks to the fortune of her husband or that of the Americans, but indeed thanks to her personal fortune.
Meghan Markle just have to beware! Though less appreciated because of her husband's political choices and actions, Melania Trump is now one of the best dressed women on the planet. And obviously, this extremely sharp style comes at a price! According to estimates from our British colleagues in L’Express magazine, the 49-year-old Slovenian bombshell spent more than € 170,000 on her wardrobe in 2019. An astronomical sum that only includes the outfits spotted during her public appearances. We must therefore add the amounts of his outfits worn during his days off at the White House, during private stays with her husband Donald Trump and all other unidentified.
His favorite brands
And to think that a few years ago some designers refused to dress Donald Trump's wife! Some are now very proud to see the First Lady of the United States wearing their creations. This year, Melania Trump has once again bet on safe values. We have often seen it in Michael Kors, Chanel, Gucci but also in Valentino and Givenchy! We remember, for example, the sumptuous Givenchy dress at € 5,000 that she wore in June 2019 for dinner with Prince Charles in London, but also on September 30, with her very, very, chic suit set since this piece of the Dolce & Gabbana brand was worth no less than $ 3,340.
Her husband pays with his personal fortune
What to push public opinion to wonder about the expenses of the White House… Obviously, these expenses are not regulated by the State but thanks to the personal fortune of her husband Donald Trump who, it is recalled, was already a billionaire before becoming president. Although he is on the outs with his wife, the President of the United States offers him an unlimited budget for shopping. Melania Trump therefore spends, on average, € 14,300 per month on her clothes.
Her personal fortune
Is Melania Trump "richer than you think"? Well yes. According to the political journalist, Laurence Haïm, the first lady would be at the head of a pretty little fortune. Thanks to her former profession as a model, the latter has managed to build up some reserves. But ... the First Lday has also and above all found the best way to make money by being a celebrity: the lawsuits against the press. Indeed, Melania Trump has turned against several newspapers which "said things about her" she told our colleagues from PurePeople. "She notably attacked an English newspaper and claimed 150 million dollars in damages and she won more than 2 million dollars. She is a woman who is rich"; Without counting on the lawsuit against the Daily Mail which also brought him several million euros.
