THIS IS HOW TIFFANY LIVES, THE MOST UNKNOWN OF TRUMP'S CHILDREN: RAISED WITH HER MOTHER, THREE CAREERS AND IN LOVE WITH A LEBANESE MILLIONAIRE
She always lived with her mother in Los Angeles, far from the fame of her father whom she only saw on vacation, but now, she wants to support him in the presidential race.
She does not have the charisma of her older sister or has shown (for now) her facility for the business world, but Tiffany Trump (27) has jumped to the front line this year to support her father one hundred percent in the race for the Presidency of the United States (the elections will be held on November 3). The young woman, the fourth daughter of Donald Trump (74), is the first lawyer in the family and her father was very proud of that achievement just five months ago at his graduation (via video call due to the coronavirus crisis) from Georgetown.
Tiffany Trump's mother is Marla Maples (57), daughter of Lura Ann Locklear –model and housewife– and Stanley Edward Maples, real estate agent. Marla was Miss Georgia in 1984, she has participated in some movies such as Richie Rich: White Christmas and Loving Annabelle, and in 1991 she was invited to WWE Wrestlemania and was in charge of the timer in the match between Hulk Hogan and the world title holder, Sgt. Slaughter. Marla and Donald Trump met in 1989 while walking down Madison Avenue in New York when he had just divorced his first wife, Ivana. They dated for several years and in October 1993, in West Palm Beach (Florida), Tiffany was born, the fourth daughter for the tycoon who already had Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric.
An ‘unexpected’ birth for Trump
The arrival of the girl was a surprise for the businessman (they say that he was in labor and cut the umbilical cord, something he had not done with his other three children), as he himself has assured on several occasions, since in his plans did not come in having more offspring. The name of the little girl was chosen by Donald, after obtaining the aerial rights of the famous jewelry Tiffany & Co. and thus being able to build his famous Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in NY. A month after Tiffany's birth and after signing a prenuptial agreement, Marla and Donald said 'yes, I do' in a grand ceremony at the Plaza Hotel in New York, attended by more than a thousand guests, including Howard Stern, OJ Simpson or actress Rosie O'Donnell.
The couple divorced six years later after a major legal battle in which Maples finally accepted the divorce in 1999 for which she received a million dollars, another million to buy a house and custody of her daughter. The prenuptial agreement they had made the amount received by Trump's second wife had nothing to do with the 14 million that his first wife Ivanka had received. Marla then left to live in Los Angeles and there she was part of the television series The Ex-Wives Club. Today she is considered a great expert in wellness, healthy lifestyle and spirituality, and she gives talks at different conventions.
A 'normal' life in LA
After the divorce of her parents, Tiffany, at the age of six, moved to California with her mother, to whom she has always been very close. There, Maples tried to get the girl to live away from the media noise and the fame of her father, who lived on the other side of the country in New York. Marla took her daughter to school every day and cooked for her at night. On the weekends they liked to go out to eat together at a Japanese restaurant or prepare choreography and cinnamon cookies at home.
Tiffany went to Viewpoint College in Calabasas - which costs about $ 30,000 per course - and her studies were paid for by her father until she was 21 years old. “Her father is a good provider in the field of education, but in the end, he has not been in the day-to-day life of her daughter, I have raised her alone. He loves his children, there is no doubt about that, but everything for him is like a negotiation, "Marla Maples told People in 2018." He is not the father who would take me to the beach and we would go swimming, but he is a person very motivating, ”Tiffany commented in 2016.
While still a child, Tiffany would see her father on Spring Break holidays, around Easter, and she would spend a season each summer with him at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's Florida mansion. The relationship with her older siblings was not always as seamless as it seems to be now, even Donald himself hinted in an interview on Howard Stern's radio show in 2005 that both Ivanka and Donald Jr tried to remove Tiffany from the paternal heritage, something they didn't get.
At the age of 15, the young woman obtained her first credit card, although they say she never asked her father for more money than he gave her annually (about $ 100,000). Two years later, Tiffany, who always went to acting classes at school, wanted to try her luck in the world of song and released a single, Like a bird, without much success. She also tried to be a model and although she walked a couple of times at New York Fashion Week, she preferred to focus on her studies.
Three careers and an exemplary student
Before deciding on a college, Tiffany visited Harvard and Columbia, but ultimately opted for the University of Pennsylvania, which her father had also attended. There she obtained a double degree in Sociology and Urban Studies with a specialization in Law, and they say that during those years she lived with a salary of 500 euros per month that her father provided her. After finishing her studies in 2016, Tiffany enrolled in Georgetown University, in Washington, where she also studied her stepbrothers Ivanka and Donald, or faces as well known as King Felipe VI or actor Bradley Cooper. She there she graduated in Law in May of this year. “Congratulations to my daughter, Tiffany, for graduating from Georgetown Law School. Great student, great center. I just need a lawyer in the family. Very proud of you, Tiff, "wrote Donald Trump four days after her graduation.
During her years in Georgetown, Tiffany suffered rejection from many of her classmates. They complained of having to endure the great security that Secret Services protocol carried everywhere and, despite being a brilliant student, they ‘accused’ of being there for being the daughter of the already president of the United States. In 2017 she was invited to the New York fashion show of designer Philipp Plein and no one wanted to sit next to her. In college she was part of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and participated in various courses at the School of Art alongside Naomi, Joe Biden's granddaughter. In addition, she specialized in Criminal Justice and was president of the Cyberlaw Society, a university club on the security of digital platforms. A couple of years earlier, the young woman did a summer internship at the American edition of Vogue thanks to the help of her sister Ivanka.
Although she was always in the shadow of her sister, Trump's right eye, at the 2016 Republican convention Tiffany appeared to praise her father. “He always brings out the best version of me. Her passion for excellence is contagious. He is a friendly, considerate and funny man. I love him with all my heart, ”she said. “I have always had my feet on the ground. People don't believe it because of who I am, but I have always been brought up with many principles by my parents. I want to be given the opportunity to grow up and be simply Tiffany, not Tiffany Trump, ”the young woman confessed to Oprah Winfrey at just 17 years old.
She is part of the ‘Snap Pack’
Despite wanting to be different from the rest of her siblings, the truth is that Tiffany also leads a lifestyle full of luxury and glamor. She has a spectacular apartment in Mount Vernon Square, in Washington, and although she likes to order pizza on Friday nights and go to some of the places that the city's college students go to, The New York Times included her long ago in the Snap Pack group, in which the sons of the richest men in New York are cataloged and who most boast of their luxuries.
Among Tiffany's friends are from actress Lindsay Lohan to other "fine children" such as fashion designer Andrey Warren, son of a major New York real estate investor and with whom we have seen her at a Gay Pride parade; Gaia Matisse, great-great-granddaughter of the painter Henri Matisse, Ej Johnson, son of NBA player Magic Johnson; or the actress Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), who has had to put up with thousands of haters on her social networks after posting a photo of her with Tiffany Trump.
Wedding in sight?
Tiffany Trump has only known two partners. The first was Ross Mechanic, son of real estate attorney Jonathan Mechanic and a promising young American in the legal profession. She dated him for two years and they broke up in mid-2017. A year later, in the summer of 2018, Tiffany met Michael Charbel Boulos (23) in Greece. Their chance meeting occurred during a party hosted by actress Lindsay Lohan, a good friend of Trump's daughter, at a nightclub owned by the former Disney girl on the elite island of Mykonos.
Their love story began in secret and from a distance, as he was then finishing his studies in Finance in London, United Kingdom. In September of that year, the couple were first seen in an affectionate attitude at New York Fashion Week, although they made their love official two months later when she introduced her boyfriend to her family on Thanksgiving. thanks.
Michael Boulos was born in Houston, Texas, in August 1997. He is of Lebanese and French descent. The young man grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, where he graduated from the American International School in Lagos. He belongs to a wealthy family. His father is the Lebanese magnate Massad Boulos, owner of the multibillion dollar business conglomerate Boulos Enterprises and SCOA Nigeria (dedicated to the transport of vehicles, goods and services and construction) and his mother is Sarah Boulos, founder of the Society for de The Performing Arts in the same African country.
Michael has a degree in Global Business Management from London's Regent’s University and an MBA in Project Management, Finance and City Risk from the University of London. His assets, according to The Sun, could be around $ 20 million and in 2020 he has been involved in a $ 532 million deal with Greek luxury jewelry brand Folli Follie.
The Trump family has welcomed the young man as one more and some media have even affirmed that Tiffany and he would have been engaged a few months ago. Michael congratulated his father-in-law a few months ago on his anniversary: “Happy birthday, sir. Keep making America great ”, he wrote on his networks, where we can see that he is a great fan of sports and travel. Last summer, both Tiffany and her boyfriend generated a great controversy by posting a snapshot with a black background on their profiles in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, being the only ones from the President's family to do so. A few minutes later, they deleted the post.
