Melania Trump: what would she be entitled to in the event of a divorce from Donald?
As rumors of separation multiply around Melania and Donald Trump, a question now arises: how much would the former First Lady get in the event of a divorce?
Throughout her husband's presidential term, she intrigued. The mystery surrounding the person of Melania Trump seems to intensify. Discreet since the failure of Donald Trump in the American elections last November, the former First Lady never ceases to intrigue. To the point that rumors of separation are multiplying, while the Trump Organization is the subject of a criminal investigation. Indeed, the couple would no longer live under the same roof. From now on, one question predominates: what will happen to Melania Trump in the event of a divorce from the megalomaniac billionaire?
It seems that the former model has already planned everything. For her as for her son, Barron Trump. "If the former First Lady stays married long after leaving the White House, she could renegotiate her prenup to get more," divorce lawyer Jacqueline Newman told the Daily Mirror last January. Because the marriage of Melania and Donald Trump is above all "transactional", according to Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, the former adviser to Melania Trump. As confided by journalist Mary Jordan, author of The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump, the former First Lady would have renegotiated her contract before moving to the White House. Objective: to protect her and her son from a potential coup from her husband.
Several tens of millions of dollars at stake
"Worried about her finances", Melania Trump would have managed to negotiate a nice sum of 41 million dollars. Above all, in the event of a divorce, she would obtain custody of her son. A significant point for those who do not want to find themselves in the same situation as Marla Maples, one of the former wives of Donald Trump. The latter, mother of Tiffany Trump, had "only" $ 2 million and $ 100,000 in alimony per month when she divorced the real estate magnate.
Big loser, she had obtained much less than Ivana Trump, the mother of Ivanka, Donald Jr and Eric Trump, and especially first wife of Donald Trump. The former Czech model was able to negotiate a huge property in Connecticut and an apartment in Trump Plaza, Atlantic City, as well as $650,000 in child support a month. But it seems that in the art of discussion Melania Trump has won. Surely with a passage to the White House.
