North AmericaEx wife of D. Trump, Ivana Trump dies at 73, read about her remarkable life

The ex-wife of Donald Trump, Ivana Trump died on Thursday afternoon at her home in New York City at 73, read more about her incredible life.

While her high-profile marriage to former president Donald Trump added laurels to her fame in the late ’70s, Ivana was a gifted lady who accomplished much on her own as a writer, an exotic clothing and jewelry designer, great businesswoman, an athlete,  and above all, a wonderful mother cherished by her children.

Born Ivana Marie Zelníčková in Zlin, a factory town in then-Communist Czechoslovakia, she was the only child of Marie, a telephone operator, and Milos, an engineer who passed in 1990. Ivana skied competitively as a child, a member of the national ski team.

After graduating from Charles University in Prague with a master’s in physical education, Ivana married Austrian skier Alfred Winklmayr to get a western passport.

When they split two years later, Ivana moved to Montreal, where she modeled. Her time in the modeling industry led her to meeting Donald Trump while on a shoot in New York City in 1976. They married nine months later, and eventually had three children together: elder son Donald Jr., only daughter Ivanka, and younger son Eric.

“My mother is my inspiration,” Ivanka, also a mom of three told PEOPLE in 2016. “She was the ultimate role model. It was always clear to us that we were her priority, but that doesn’t mean we got her 24 hours a day.”

While she and Donald were married, Ivana took on key roles in some of the Trump businesses, including running Trump’s Castle in Atlantic City as CEO. In his book, Trump: The Art of the Deal, the reality star turned politician called Ivana a “great manager,” describing her as “demanding and very competitive.”

“When it comes to running a casino, good management skills are as important as specific gaming experience,” he wrote, per CNN. “She proved me right.”

Ivanka Trump also was named president of the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan – the first woman to hold that title – in 1988, according to Town & Country, and designed the interiors of the Grand Hyatt Hotel and Trump Tower, per Time.

Less than a year after she and the Apprentice star divorced – the couple split in 1992 – Ivana began dating wealthy Italian businessman Riccardo Mazzucchelli. Though he signed a prenup prior to their 1995 wedding and trailed loyally behind her at conventions and shopping malls, the union fizzled 20 months later.

Ivana would go on to marry once more, tying the knot with Italian actor Rossano Rubicondi in April 2008 after six years of dating.

The former couple divorced less than a year after tying the knot in Palm Beach, Florida; however, Ivana served as his caretaker while he was secretly ill for the last year of his life. He died in 2021 at the age of 49.

Fake News Running

Unfortunately, fake news is running that Donald Trump is trying to raise money on Ivanka’s death which the gullible public swallowed up.

This news is debunked by https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/07/14/ivana-trump-email-donate/ who said that the statement in the email about Ivana’s death came from Trump’s Truth Social account. No such donation or fundraising button appeared in the Truth Social post.

It’s unclear if the donate button for fundraising was part of a standard footer that is regularly placed at the bottom of such emails. Snopes said, “We reached out to the PAC for more information and will update this story if we receive a response.”
