From rich girl to first daughter: the fabulous life of Ivanka Trump
She has studied in the best colleges and universities and the luxury of her has been a part of her life since she was born. However, she has wanted her name not to be linked to ostentation but to the hard-working character and that of a fighter woman.
"Trump's secret weapon", "the true first lady in the shadows" or "the only one capable of taming the beast." These are some of the headlines that the most important headlines of the American press have used to define Ivanka Trump (35 years old).
The older sister of the clan already has an office next to her father, but this time she will not be managing family businesses in Trump Tower, but she will do it as an advisor to the White House itself in the administration of the father of she. While her brothers have remained in charge of the leadership of the companies that bear her surname, Ivanka continues to make it clear that she is the "right eye" of the president.
The tycoon has always had a soft spot for the oldest of his daughters. In fact, when she was still little, Donald (70) boasted of her great intelligence in every meeting she had with the country's top leaders. It is precisely that trust that they have with each other that is the key that allows Ivanka to know how to influence the thinking of her father and calm her too radical aspirations.
So much so that there are media that present Ivanka as "the opposite of her father", because, as is not the case with Trump, the young woman has all the attributes to connect with people and attract the public thanks to her beauty, her position of powerful woman in business and her status as mother and wife. However, she did inherit a fundamental part of her progenitor: the tireless spirit of work and the gift of negotiation.
At 25 she had already bought a house and paid the mortgage with the salary she earned "working 13 hours a day." And it is that in 2005, just after graduating with honors in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania, she entered the family business. Less than two years later, after asserting her good nose for business in the Trump Organization, she created a company in her own name in which she designed fashion and accessories.
She was born in the heart of Manhattan, surrounded by people belonging to the New York elite, and thanks to the good economic position of her parents she was able to study at the Chaplin School, where she herself took classes Jackie Kennedy. Donald Trump's wife, Melania (46), was inspired by the styling of this former first lady, who has been relegated to the background before the overwhelming charisma of her first daughter.
Faced with the fragile character of Melania, Ivanka stomps and even dared to speak at several rallies of her father in the middle of the race for the White House while the Slovenian remained behind the scenes. The president's favorite daughter was already pointing out ways in the Trump campaign when she did not hesitate to demand equal pay for women and conciliation for mothers. It is that power of word that is very reminiscent of the weighty figure that Michelle Obama (53) created and that it seems that Ivanka is going to rescue. Something that does not happen with Melania, that the only time she was given prominence she needed to plagiarize a speech by the previous first lady to receive the applause of the public.
Ivanka never wanted to be a vase woman. That is why she shuns those who wanted to compare her with Paris Hilton (36) and she gets up every day at 5:30 in the morning to make sure she is ready to work an hour later. Unlike the daughter of the famous hotel owner, Ivanka does not go from party to party, but instead takes advantage of the recognition of her name to give a voice to charitable causes, including the New York Police Foundation or the sale of cookies in favor childhood cancer.
In addition, while Paris Hilton is dedicated to DJing in paradisiacal places, Ivanka writes books. The Trump Card was his first publication in which he explains how to achieve success both in personal and professional life according to his experiences, and next May his second book, Women who work, will be released, in which he highlights the importance of women's work and their necessary leadership.
Her obsession with demonstrating on the side of working women is something that, according to her own account at a rally, she inherited from her father since "her company is an example of equality and support for minorities" . But she is also a mother constantly concerned about the well-being of her three children - Arabella Rose (5), Joseph Frederick (3), and Theodore James (10 months) - and a woman happily married to the billionaire Jared Kushner. (36). Ivanka converted to Judaism for love in 2009, when she married the businessman. As a result of her religion, they try to save Saturdays to be with the family and even disconnect the electronic devices to focus solely on them.
It is precisely because of these kinds of decisions and acts of love that Ivanka has a more 'humanized' image than her father. Something that, according to the last steps taken by the Donald Trump administration when giving his daughter an office in the White House, has been a key point in the public image that the new president wants to show.
