Ivana Trump, the ex-wife of former President Donald Trump, died on Thursday, July 14. She was 73 years old.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that his ex-wife had died. Ivana was the first wife of the former President, and she gave birth to Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka.
Ivana was found at the bottom of a flight of stairs. She may have had a heart attack. The official cause of death will be found by the city’s Medical Examiner’s Office. Police sources told the New York Post that they are looking into whether Ivana fell down the stairs at her home on East 64th Street.
Ivana went from being a poor Czech immigrant to a wealthy businesswoman thanks to a huge $14 million divorce settlement. She even had a small part in the movie “The First Wives Club” from 1996. In the movie, she is seen giving advice to three divorced people in Manhattan. “Don’t get mad, get everything.”
How much money did Ivana Trump have?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ivana was an Olympian, a socialite, and a fashion model. When she died, she was worth $100 million. Ivana was born in the Czech city of Zlin in 1949. Her father was an electrical engineer and her mother worked as a telephone operator. After she got married to Austrian ski instructor Alfred Winklmayr and moved to Canada in the early 1970s, she worked as a ski instructor and model. Winklmayr was her first husband and the first of four.
Ivana said she thought modeling was just a short-term job, but it was during a booking in New York City in 1976 that she met Donald Trump for the first time. Ivana worked as the ex-executive president’s vice president of interior design while she was married to him. She was in charge of the design of Trump Tower in New York City, including the famous pink marble interior. She was also in charge of building the Trump Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City and the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City. In 1988, when Trump bought the famous Plaza Hotel in New York City, Ivana took over as the hotel’s manager.
Ivana and Trump broke up in 1992, and she was given $14 million as a settlement. She also got a 45-room mansion in Connecticut and an apartment in Trump’s Trump Plaza building in New York. After she sold the mansion in Connecticut for $15 million in 1998, she had twice as much money. Ivana also got a month a year at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago country club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Ivana went on to make a number of lines of clothing. Then, the Home Shopping Network and QVC sold the clothes and jewelry. In 1995, she opened a clothing and perfume store called House of Ivana on New York’s Park Avenue. She bought a share of the Slobodna Dalmacija newspaper in Croatia in 1998, but she had to sell it when it started to lose money.

Ivana wrote several books about her own life, such as “For Alone” and “Free to Love.” In 1995, she also wrote a book about self-help called “The Best Is Yet to Come.” From 1995 to 2010, Globe published a column called “Ask Ivanka.” In 2017, she wrote a book called “Raising Trump.” It was about her marriage to Trump and how she raised the couple’s three children.
Ivana was often seen in the Upper East Side neighborhood, where her townhouse was, during her last years. She would sometimes go shopping or out to eat. After she died, her son Eric told the Daily Mail that she had died. He said, “Our mother was an amazing person. She was a force in business, a world-class athlete, a beautiful woman with a bright smile, and a loving mother and friend.” “Ivana Trump lived through a lot. She ran away from communism and came to America. She taught her kids how to be tough, have compassion, and work hard. Her mother, her three children, and her ten grandchildren will miss her very much.”
