Ivanka Trump
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ivanka Marie Trump (born October 30, 1981 in New York, New York) is an American model and businesswoman, best known as the daughter of Ivana and Donald Trump.
She attended Choate Rosemary Hall, as well as Chapin. While she was at Choate, her mother only paid for her tuition and Ivanka had to pay for her phone bills. She had to find a job to pay for her other needs, and turned to modeling.
After completing two years at Georgetown University, she transferred to and graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science in Economics in 2004. Proving that she has brains as well as beauty, she points out that she graduated summa cum laude in interviews. She is currently the Vice President of Real Estate Development at the Trump Organization.
She reportedly paid $1.5 million for a two-bedroom apartment at 502 Park Avenue. She started modeling at 16 years of age while in school and is now represented by Elite Model Management. Her first cover was a 1997 issue of Seventeen. She also hosted the Miss Teen USA Pageant that same year. Since then she has made her way down fashion runways for Versace, Marc Bouwer and Thierry Mugler. She has done ad campaigns for Tommy Hilfiger and Sassoon Jeans and was featured on the cover of Stuff magazine in August 2006. [1]
Ivanka will be replacing Carolyn Kepcher as a primary boardroom judge, to take effect on Season 6 of The Apprentice.[2]

[edit] TV appearances
Trump gained fame in 2003 when she was featured in Born Rich, a documentary about the experience of growing up as a child in one of the world's most affluent families.
In 2006 she filled in for Carolyn Kepcher on five episodes of her father's television program The Apprentice 5, first appearing to help judge the Gillette task in week 2 ([1], [2]). She has already appeared on several episodes with her brother, Donald Jr., with Donald Sr. referring to his two children with the grammatically incorrect phrase, "two true Apprenti".
Like Kepcher, Trump evaluated contestants in the boardroom, pointing out critical errors and picking apart any excuses they had for losing the tasks. Though initially unsympathetic to the contestants, Trump now says, "whenever I see their breakdowns, I understand. They go virtually 24 hours a day, and each task takes about three days. Unless they win, they don’t get a day off...It’s an incredible amount of work" ([3]).
During a January 2006 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Trump said that she and former boyfriend Bingo Gubelmann had broken up, yet they remain good friends. She also used the word "ultimately" (a favorite word of her father's) so many times during her interview that it prompted Leno to comment that he could hear her father's influence and inflections in her.
Ivanka Trump was a featured guest-judge on Project Runway Season 3.
