Who is Tiffany Trump?
Tiffany Trump may be President Donald J. Trump's fourth daughter and his second wife, actress Marla Maples, but she is forging an identity of her own. No, she is not helping run her father's multi-million dollar company, as her older half-brothers Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump do, while her father handles the day-to-day duties as the leader of the world. free. And no, she did not accompany to the White House, like her older half-sister, Ivanka Trump, and her younger half-brother, Barron Trump. Instead, Tiffany finished college, started law school, and generally has been living exactly the kind of glamorous life that she would expect her to live as the son of one of the richest families in the world.
But despite all the instant fame that comes with just having the Trump last name, Tiffany has managed to stay relatively out of the limelight - until now. Take a look at these interesting facts about the lesser known member of the Trump family.
A fabulous namesake
Tiffany Trump, born October 13, 1993, is named after the famous New York City jewelry store Tiffany & Co., according to Donald Trump's ex-wife, Ivana Trump. How would she know? Good question. Ivana spoke to ABC News about it when she also dropped the detail that Donald really wanted to name her first daughter, Ivanka, until Ivana rejected that idea.
What was the fascination with Tiffany & Co.? Well, one of Donald's greatest achievements was the construction of Trump Tower, which is located right next to the famous boutique on the corner of 5th Avenue and 57th Street. To build his eponymous skyscraper, Donald had to secure "air rights" over Tiffany & Co., of which The Orlando Sentinel proudly boasted that he achieved with a handshake deal. So why was the name Tiffany so close and dear to Donald Trump? No, it wasn't those tantalizing blue boxes, but rather, the idea that a kid could become a living, breathable reminder of one of his best deals.
BFF mother-daughter
Tiffany Trump is Donald's only daughter with his second wife, Marla Maples, and according to an Oprah Winfrey Show interview, she is a mommy's girl. Raised in California, Tiffany said, "My mother and I have always been very close since she raised me as a single mother." She added, "My friends and everyone I know is like, 'Wow, you guys really have a really good relationship.' She is with me most of the time, so people find her shocking.
In fact, mother and daughter's best friends even go on vacation together, like their sun-kissed trip to Italy in July 2017. According to People, Marla posted envy-provoking photos of the couple relaxing on a yacht on Instagram. , go water skiing and enjoy a beautiful sunset during the trip. With that kind of fabulous life to share and enjoy, is it any wonder these two get along so well?
Abandoning the drama surrounding 'The Donald'
Despite growing up in the famous Calabasas, California neighborhood with a famous last name, no less, Tiffany Trump managed to stay out of the spotlight for much of her childhood, all thanks to her mother. "She moved us from New York to get out of the limelight and let me grow up and find my own identity instead of being in the shadow of a name or growing up very young with all that pressure," she said. Persons. So she wanted him to have the opportunity to have a normal childhood. As normal as possible. I think she did well at that.
Tiffany's mother, Marla Maples, told People in a separate piece that she even chose to remain single while she was raising Tiffany because she "didn't want anything to be taken from [her] relationship with Tiffany." Marla also claims that she took Tiffany on a trip to the Big Apple to visit her father, even though her time was always limited. " She would bring her to New York a couple of times a year and let her go see her. Dad in her office and let her go to dinner with him and Melania, "she said Marla, and she added," She wanted to create some consistency where she could see it. "
She has beauty and a brain
Tiffany Trump was a student at her father's alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, where she majored in sociology and urban studies. "She has all A's of hers at Penn, so we're proud of her," Donald Trump People said in 2014.
According to Vanity Fair, Tiffany also joined Penn's Kappa Alpha Theta chapter, after allegedly being rejected by the Tabard Society, an elite, non-female, Greek social society, fearing that "the presence of a Trump scare the kind of presentable, connected young women Tabard has typically attracted. (We should note here that a "person close to Tiffany" refuted this accusation). Vanity Fair also claimed that during her time at the Ivy League school, Tiffany lived on a budget of "no more than $ 500 a month," which her father provided for her.
In May 2016, Tiffany graduated from her with her mother, her father, her older half-sister Ivanka, and her younger half-brother Barron to celebrate. She even celebrated the day with a montage of family photos (above) that she posted on Instagram with the caption “Graduation! Congratulations to the Class of 2016! »
Pop star on hold
Before Tiffany Trump changed her focus to college, she tried her hand at pop stardom. At just 17 years old in 2011, she released her first single, "Like a Bird," featuring Sprite and Logic, which HuffPost later reviewed saying "there's so much Auto-Tune, we can't honestly tell who's singing what." Other reviews were less gracious, such as this one from DJ Booth, who called the song "absolutely horrible," or this one from news.com.au, who suggested that the song "makes the music of Paris Hilton or Rebecca Black sound like Adele". Oof
The runway did not take off and became Tiffany's first and only launch. However, around the time she recorded that song, she told the Oprah Winfrey Show that it wasn't a serious search anyway. "I love music. She has always been very dear to me, "Tiffany said of her" great passion ", adding," It's more of a hobby right now, but we'll see in a couple of years if I want to take it. " to the next level as a professional «.
She is among the ‘Rich Kids of Instagram’
Tiffany Trump has been bundled into a social media Brat bundle commonly known as the "Rich Kids of Instagram." According to DuJour, “The photos they share on social media tell the story of an enviable set of intertwined lives, sipping rosé in infinity pools during the day, sipping rosé on balconies overlooking the Marais at night, a perfect gang of wealthy progeny. '

Kennedy, Jr; Andrew Warren, grandson of fashion designer David Warren; Gaia Matisse, the great-great-granddaughter of the iconic French painter Henri Matisse, and more. Want a small taste of what this elite social media clique regularly shares? Here's Kyra Kennedy with her room service order that looks like tip, since she probably costs more than one night at a Holiday Inn. Compared to the rest of the squad, Tiffany's social media image actually seemed the most accessible and realistic, which says a lot considering she still regularly posts amazing photos of places that would likely be once in a lifetime trips to. we normal people.
She went batting for her dad
As her father campaigned for the presidency, Tiffany Trump boldly defied the political heat. Although her father was angered by the comments he made about women, Tiffany painted a different portrait. Her dad has “the utmost faith that we [women] can achieve what we set out to do, just as well as men, if not better,” she told CNN's Anderson Cooper in April 2016, adding: “I really feel like my father is the best father, the best husband he could be. «.
Tiffany really put her loyalty on the line when she agreed to speak on her father's behalf at the 2016 Republican National Convention after he secured the president's nomination for the party. In her comments, Tiffany even noted how nervous she was about addressing the "more than ten million people who were watching her," but she defended herself to defend her father as "a man with natural charm and no facade, which is" so kind, so considerate, so funny and so real. She concluded her endorsement by saying, “I have admired my father all my life and love him with all my heart. God bless you and thank you. "
She has finished the track
Tiffany entered her first New York Fashion Week show in February 2016. According to People, she graced the runway of designer Andrew Warren (a member of the aforementioned "Insta-Famous" club) in a stunning navy blue ensemble. Tiffany also starred in editorials and several commercials for her Just Drew line and is known for wearing Warren's designs on nights out on the town.
But like her brief foray into the music world, modeling is more of a hobby than a professional career. In fact, Tiffany Page Six said, "I've never modeled before, but Andrew has been one of my best friends since I was 3, so I came to support him." Why did Warren choose Tiffany for that particular show? "The inspiration for the collection was 'New York City It Girl' based on my friends and girls I see at parties," said Andrew Page Six. Nice to have friends in trendy places, huh?
Ivanka big sister like her!
Tiffany Trump and her half-sister, Ivanka Trump, are reportedly very close. "We saw each other every public holiday and talked frequently," Ivanka said. Persons. She is my little sister! I've been around Tiffany her whole life, and I really love her. Their relationship became even tighter when Tiffany graduated from college and moved to the Big Apple. "It's wonderful because she's here in New York," Ivanka said. “She will come with [me and husband Jared Kushner to our country house] on the weekends sometimes, and she is always with my children. She is a very good person.
According to Vanity Fair Ivanka essentially taught Tiffany how to be famous, teaching her important things like "this is the color that looks best on camera" and "make sure you cross your legs when you sit down." It is also said that Ivanka gave Tiffany a Moda internship, as well as a Donald-funded credit card in her undergraduate days.
Tiffany has not been as forthcoming about her relationship with her older sister in the press. However, she revealed to Oprah Winfrey that she was a bridesmaid at Ivanka's wedding, and Tiffany sent her thanks to Ivanka for the launch of her book and her birthday in October 2018.
Tiffany Trump, Esquire?
Tiffany defended her interest in law school when she spoke to People in July 2016, but she also said, “I'm really into fashion and technology and I just want to be in a new and innovative place, where I can really implement change and have a voice ». By August 2017, Tiffany was enrolled at Georgetown Law School in Washington, DC. She announced her achievement to the world on Instagram with a photo (above) of some books, flowers and a Hoyas hat, which would indicate that she wished.The intersection of fashion, technology and the law has already begun.
Jokes aside, as to how Tiffany is doing in school, The Washington Post reported that despite the rabid fascination of the rest of campus with her, she managed to keep a relatively low profile. In fact, the biggest news to come out of Tiffany's freshman year is that he worked as a "research assistant" during the summer of 2018 for Shon Hopwood, an infamous professor who became "a media darling" after "becoming in jail lawyer after serving time for bank robbery «. By the way, Hopwood also has close ties to the Trump administration.
She flies coach
Just because her last name is Trump doesn't mean that Tiffany's life is always first-class. In fact, according to a friend, you may find her in economy on your next flight. "Unless she is with her father, she is happy to fly by coach," the friend told her. The New York Times. "When we flew together from Philadelphia, we were in the middle seats at the back of the plane." That friend also said that the dress Tiffany wore to her speech at the Republican National Convention had been bought the day before from the sales shelf in Bloomingdale's.
But don't think that Tiffany is regularly plummeting. Her favorite designer, who, let's be honest, is something only the wealthy have, is Taoray Wang, whose bizarre pieces, like a version of the one Tiffany wore for the grand opening, can cost anywhere from $ 2,500 to $ 3,700, "according to WWD . Yes. That kind of scratch can buy a lot of coach tickets, and you might even be looking for those fancy "extra legroom" seats!
Is she the "Jan Brady" of Trump's kids?
Although her profile increased dramatically as her father's presidential campaign intensified, Tiffany Trump has often been described by the press as an outsider, an afterthought and the "Jan Brady" of Trump's children. According to an interview with Tiffany's mother in The New York Times, the recent college graduate “would like to get to know his father better and spend time with him like his other sons did: going to his office and watching him work. That office is now oval, and early reports show no sign that Tiffany has entered the inner circle. In fact, she is the only adult offspring of Donald who was not named to his White House transition team. "Daughter Ivanka and sons Eric and Donald Jr. and son-in-law Jared Kushner represented a quarter of the 16-member executive committee," reported Fortuna.
Although Tiffany has always been effusive towards her father, she has not always returned her favor, even if he was an inadvertent slight. We're talking, of course, about Donald's infamous gaffe while on Fox and Friends (via the New York Daily News) when he said, “I'm so proud of my kids. I mean, I'm looking at them right now, as an example for their show, but I'm very proud, because Don, Eric, and Ivanka and - you know, to a lesser extent because they just got out of school, out of college, but, uh , Tiffany, who has also been so excellent.
"To a lesser extent," eh? Yikes
Did Don Jr. and Ivanka do a play for their heritage?
Although there seems to be nothing but love between siblings these days, that wasn't always the case. Donald Trump recognized a tiff between Tiffany, Don Jr. and Ivanka in 2005 during an interview with Howard Stern, transcripts obtained by Newsweek show. The revelation came after Donald shared a story about "a friend who is also kind of a very rich guy" who told him that "his kids hate new kids coming and everything else." Donald agreed and said, "Yes, because every time you have a child, it is 20 percent less for people [Inaudible]" The athlete surprised by details, and finally made Donald accept that Don Jr. and Ivanka wanted »Kill a child«. The conversation returned to the topic of inheritance, when Donald revealed that both the now-scandalized and undercover Trump university and bottled water brand, Trump Ice, would be handed over to his children.
Of course, Donald has conducted many interviews with the self-proclaimed King of all media over the years, including salacious details and clearly humorous embellishments about the real estate mogul's love life, family dynamics, and vast wealth. Hopefully, the true truth of the inheritance situation is that Tiffany, Don Jr., Ivanka, and the rest of Donald's progeny will have no problem dividing up his supposed multi-million dollar fortune after he's gone.
Being friends with Tiffany isn't always easy
In recent years, there have been some high-profile instances of Tiffany Trump's famous friends going to fight over her on social media. As a frequent target of comment hatred, Tiffany seems to stand out above all else, but it's another story entirely with her friends, like actress Abigail Breslin. That's right, the little star of Little Miss Sunshine is friends with Tiffany, and after she posted a photo of herself chilling out with the president's daughter, the haters rushed in. But Abigail backed off, posting a note on her Instagram that read, in part, “Honestly, it's disgusting for people to be so cruel to Tiff [[sic] who is a wonderful and kind person. If you are judging me for dating someone I have known for years at our friends' birthday party, you should reassess your life. Boom.
The aforementioned Tiffany fashion designer, hers BFF, Andrew Warren, mounted a similar defense of Tiffany after he got fed up with seeing her face mountains of hate and even death threats online. "She has never personally done anything to offend anyone, and she is one of the most beautiful and genuine people I know," Warren wrote in a lengthy Instagram post. He also instructed anyone who "continued to hate her personally" to stop following or delete him.
Thanks (Ross), next
Tiffany Trump's remarkable relationship with Ross Mechanic, her college sweetheart and the progeny of a wealthy Manhattan real estate attorney, ended sometime around late 2017. But it didn't take long for her to recover, and arguably change. . According to Page Six, by the summer of 2018, Trump teamed up with Michael Boulos, the "rich man" of a "well-connected family [that] owns a multi-million dollar conglomerate that deals in vehicles, equipment, retail and construction."
While their relationship is unconfirmed, as of this writing, and Tiffany has yet to post any selfies of fabulous places (as she used to), the tab reported that Trump met Boulos during his Greek summer vacation. Things were reportedly going so well that he even accompanied her to Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago several months later. Just to add another possibly sensational wrinkle to Trump and Boulos' cute reunion, their first performance reportedly overlapped with the time Tiffany spent that summer with none other than actress Lindsay Lohan, who is the co-owner of a club in the posh Greek city. , according to Vanity Fair. Wait. Are Lindsay Lohan and Tiffany Trump friends? ”Now they may be wondering. We're glad you asked ...
TiffLo is real and it's fabulous
Tiffany Trump's connection to the former Disney star became widely known when Lindsay Lohan referred to her in a June 2018 profile in The New York Times as “a very sweet girl. Good person". She also talked about plans to go out together in Greece. Though the predictable tabloid frenzy came at the thought of the president's daughter mixing him abroad with a wild Hollywood kid, The Washington Post (who surprisingly called the couple TiffLo) reported that "nothing really salacious happened." In fact, Lohan reportedly monitored not only her own social media accounts, but also those of other members of the wealthy crew who 'hung out on a yacht ... and then had dinner with the mayor of Mykonos, Konstantinos. Koukas ».
"Why are you posting this?" Lohan allegedly scolded her and Tiffany's mutual friend, fashion designer Andrew Warren, in a comment that was deleted from her. Warren apparently had the audacity to share a snapshot of the aforementioned yacht excursion on his Instagram. Although Lohan seems to have sidestepped her old party girl image of hers in recent years, we have to wonder if Tiffany's more sophisticated approach to living the high life has had any kind of impact.
California wildfires really affected her
In November 2018, two wildfires wreaked havoc and historic destruction in both Northern and Southern California. According to CBS, the Woolsey Fire, which broke out in the Los Angeles area, consumed nearly 100,000 acres, destroyed just under 1,500 "structures," and claimed the lives of three people. The Camp Fire, which spread north of Sacramento, became the deadliest fire in California history, killing 85 people, according to reports still in progress as of early December 2018.
Although Tiffany Trump was not personally affected by any of the disasters, she sympathized with those posted in an Instagram post in November 2018. “My heart goes out to my friends and everyone affected and they lost their homes to these fires foresters, "she wrote, noting that while growing up in Calabasas, California, she" had to evacuate three times from [her] home, "which was thankfully spared. She ended the long message by thanking the »firefighters, first responders and volunteers« who fought the flames, and asking for prayers for them.
