Ivanka Marie Trump (/iˈvɑːŋkə/; born October 30, 1981) is an American businesswoman who is an advisor to President Donald Trump. She is the daughter of the president and his first wife, former model Ivana Trump.
A fourth generation businessperson who followed in the footsteps of her great-grandmother Elizabeth Trump (who founded the company), grandfather Fred Trump, and father, Trump has been an executive vice president of the family owned Trump Organization – as well as serving as a boardroom judge on her father's TV show The Apprentice.[4] She moved to Washington, D.C. in January 2017 as her husband, Jared Kushner, was appointed as a Senior Advisor to the President of the United States by her father.
Starting in late March 2017, she began serving in her father's administration. She assumed this official, unpaid position after ethics concerns were raised about her access to material while not being held to the same restrictions as a federal employee.[5][6] Trump later became an official employee.
She is considered part of her father's inner circle
Ivana[2][3] (called "Ivanka") Marie Trump was born in Manhattan, New York City, and is the second child of Czech-American model Ivana Marie (née Zelníčková) and Donald John Trump, who in 2017 became the 45th President of the United States.[8] Her father has German[9] and Scottish ancestry.[10] The name Ivanka is a diminutive form of Ivana.[11] Trump's parents divorced in 1991, when she was ten years old.[8] She has two brothers, Donald Jr. and Eric; a half sister, Tiffany; and a half brother, Barron.
Trump attended the Chapin School in Manhattan until she was 15, when she transferred to Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut, where she characterized its "boarding-school life" as being like a "prison", while her "friends in New York were having fun".[12]
After graduating from Choate,[13] she attended Georgetown University for two years, then transferred to the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania, from which she graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in economics in 2004.[14][15]
Trump is bilingual, speaking English and French, and has an elementary knowledge of her mother's native language of Czec
