Ivana Trump Net Worth: The Massive Fortune Donald Trump's First Wife Left Behind

Ivana Trump was born in Gottwaldov, Czechoslovakia, and witnessed the beginning of the Soviet Union-led invasion of Czechoslovakia.

Ivana made her way to the United States through her marriage to Austrian ski instructor Alfred Winklmayr in 1971, allowing her to obtain Austrian citizenship and was allowed to leave Communist Czechoslovakia without defecting.

In 1973, the two separated, and Ivana decided to move to Canada, with her first profession coaching ski racers in Montreal, Canada, according to Biography.

She then met her former husband, Donald Trump, during a trip to New York, where she was working as a model to promote the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.

The two then got married in 1977 and divorced in 1992. However, Ivana kept Donald's surname. Ivana shared three children with Trump: Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric.

Ivana Trump was reported to have a net worth of $100 million at the time of her death, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Ivana had a major role in developing Donald Trump's major real estate projects. Being the vice president for interior design at the Trump Organization, she was instrumental in developing Trump Tower and the Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City.

Ivana was also the president at the then Trump Castle Casino Resort. In 1988, she became a naturalized U.S. citizen. She was a self-described "workaholic" and was anything but a stay-at-home mom during her marriage with the former president.

When she divorced Donald, Ivana was given $25 million in cash plus their mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut. She was also given the option of a $22 million cash payment for a new house if the Greenwich home was sold before their divorce was finalized.

Ivana was granted $650,000 in annual child support until all three children reached the age of 18. The former president was reportedly in deep debt at the time of their divorce and had to pay the settlement through bank loans.

Ivana Trump managed to create her own companies after her divorce from Donald Trump in 1990, namely Ivana, Inc. and Ivana Haute Couture.

Ivana passed away inside her home on Manhattan's Upper East Side on July 14 at the age of 73. Her funeral was also held in New York City, which brought the family together for a rare public gathering.

The three children of Ivana Trump and Donald Trump were all in attendance, and each gave their eulogies. BBC News reported that they were seen standing together with their spouses.

Donald reportedly did not speak at the service and arrived separately with security personnel. Donald Jr. described her mother as "fearless and independent."

Ivanka said her mother did not tell her a woman could do anything she wanted to, but instead, her mother showed it to her. The former first lady, Melania Trump, was also present at the funeral.
