Ivana Trump’s net worth explored
Also known as Ivana Marie Trump, she was the first wife of former US president Donald Trump. She was a resident of Canada during the 1970s and then shifted to the United States later on, where she held managerial positions in The Trump Organization.
According to CelebrityNetWorth, Ivana’s net worth was estimated to be around $100 million. Although details about her assets are not available, she primarily earned from her career as an athlete, socialite, and fashion model.
While she was married to Donald Trump, she helped him with several real estate projects. As Vice President for Interior Design at the Trump Organization, she played an important role in developing the Trump Tower and the Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City.
