Donald Trump is a wealthy man, that's no secret. However, it was not only the former President of the United States running for a new term who had a full wallet. His ex-wife and mother of three of his five children, Ivana Trump, left behind a nice jackpot after her sudden death at age 73 in July 2022. Who inherited it? The American media found the answer.
If the death of Ivana Trump – caused by blunt trauma following a fall down the stairs – was surprising, the former Czechoslovakian athlete and model had nevertheless prepared for the aftermath. She had carefully taken care of her estate in advance and she understood jewelry, funds from the sale of his fur collection, as well as real estate estimated at several million dollars (one residence on the Upper East Side, one property in France and one in the Czech Republic).
According to information from New York Post et Insider, the septuagenarian bequeathed most of her property to her three children: Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka et Eric. As for Donald Trump, from whom she divorced in 1992, no inheritance but Ivana Trump granted him – with her adult children – co-control of her real estate assets, estimated at several million dollars.
Besides his children, it is his children's nanny who later became her friend and personal assistant, Susanna Dorothy Curry, whom Ivana Trump had wished to leave behind a lot: a million-dollar Miami Beach apartment and her pet, her dog Tiger.
