Ivana, the first wife of former U.S. President Donald Trump, died of a fall at home at the age of 73.
Ivana's sudden death surprised both the entertainment industry and the political and business circles, and ex-husband Trump tweeted that Ivana was a beautiful and excellent woman: "She has had a full and exciting life, and everyone is proud of her." ”
Donald Trump is true, from young to old, Ivana has always adhered to the mentality of "developing self-potential" to treat love and work, marriage is interfered with by the little three will not be compromised, and even after a big profit, dashing away, opening up a stronger career, in the United States fame is not lost to ex-husband Trump.
Married to develop in a foreign country
Learning English, teaching skiing, and working part-time as a model, Ivana is diligent and conscientious
Ivana was born in the Czech Republic in 1949 with a dream of becoming a skier, and thanks to the strict guidance of her father and her own unremitting efforts, Ivana became famous in the Czech skiing world as a teenager.
Due to the traditional cultural atmosphere under the control of the Soviet government, Ivana, as a woman, felt restricted and became more and more eager for the free world, and at the age of 23, she married an Austrian ski instructor in the form of "marriage in exchange for a foreign passport", and immediately went through a divorce after getting a foreign passport.
After the divorce, Ivana immigrated to Canada, studied English diligently, worked as a ski instructor and model, stood on her own, and won the promotion work of a model for the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.
At this point, it is probably seen that Ivana not only has the speculation of borrowing power, but also has the willpower to persevere, is willing to work hard for self-growth, and is a woman with a little wisdom, but is willing to work hard.
And Trump's marriage worked seamlessly
"I'm such a great woman."
With her natural beauty and acquired intelligence, Ivana successfully signed a Canadian model agency and was sent to New York Fashion Week by the company to walk the catwalk.
One day at the end of work and boudoir dinner, Ivana met the then unknown rich man Trump, the man fell in love with her at first sight, launched a passionate pursuit, after the trump frankly said: "Seeing Ivana was first attracted by her beauty, after chatting, I found that she was smart and thoughtful, and admired her more." ”
A few months after dating, they had a wedding in 1977.
Donald Trump is preparing to open more hotels in New York, all entrusted to Ivana in charge of interior design, she assisted her husband in the decoration of multiple buildings: "He gave me this opportunity, when I first came to the United States, I was penniless, but I had some taste for fashion, he put me in charge of the decoration, I was seven months pregnant, or running around, always keeping an eye on the progress." 」 She said.
The couple worked together like generals and military divisions, with Donald Trump in charge of breaking new ground and Ivana in charge of internal operations.
Donald Trump trusts his wife to become president of Trump Plaza and Trump Plaza Casino and Hotel, and Ivana has a strong sense of accomplishment by flying a helicopter to Atlantic City every morning and rushing back to New York at 5:30 p.m. to take care of the children.
Ivana said in a 2016 interview with The New York Post: "Everyone asks me why I'm working so hard. In fact, behind every successful woman, there is a man who has great respect for them, and I believe that Trump knows that I am so good, which is true. ”
Forced by a third party, he resolutely decided to divorce
But "take what you have to take."
Everything is relative.
And her husband to seek a career, Ivana admitted that the marriage with Donald Trump is like two bosses in dialogue, both sides have the momentum of not giving in to each other, the love of life between lovers has long disappeared, and then Donald Trump's second wife Marla Maples, the third Marla Maples in order to force the palace, directly leaked the love affair with Donald Trump to the media.
According to journalist and author Sue Carswell, it was the cross-Chinese New Year's Eve of 1989, and Donald Trump took Ivana and his children to the mountain resort in Aspen, Colorado, to ski, and his mistress Marla Maples followed, showing up with Ivana on the pistes: "I want your husband, he doesn't love you anymore." ”
Ivana, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, couldn't bear it and said to Marla Maples on the spot, "You roll." ”
But she also decided to divorce immediately.
In order to fight for the wealth that the couple worked together, Ivana used lawyers to fight a divorce lawsuit, which lasted for a long time, and finally Ivana received $14 million in alimony, plus $650,000 a year in parenting fees for three children, and also got some real estate, including a 45-room mansion in Connecticut, an apartment in Trump Square, and a month of access to The Mar-a-Mar Estate in Florida.
The development of self-created careers is sound and colorful
Products generate $200,000 per hour in sales
Ivana, who founded the company on high alimony, invested in real estate, developed fashion and perfume brands, sold her own products through TV shopping stations, and the sales record was $675,000 in one hour, making her proud to say: "If I don't sell $200,000 an hour, it's a disappointment." ”
Ivana's life after the divorce continues to be beautiful, and she said a famous line when she made a cameo appearance in the American drama "The First Wives Club": "Honey, we must be strong and independent, don't be busy getting angry, busy taking what we should take." ” （Don’t get mad, get everything!）
Since then, Ivana has experienced two more marriages, including marrying her boyfriend Raossano Rubicondi in 2008 and divorcing in 2009, although the marriage was not smooth, Ivana completely looked away, continued to have a happy boyfriend, and broke off the idea of getting married.
Ironically, Marla Maples, who was involved in the marriage, became a second wife by hurting others, and then was found by the police to date Donald Trump's bodyguard Spencer Wagner, although the affair is unknown whether it is true or false, it seriously affected the relationship between Trump and Marla Maples, and the two sides soon divorced, and Marla Maples finally received only $2 million.
He is good friends with his ex-husband Trump
"Without me, my ex-husband wouldn't have developed like this."
Switching to Ivana's side, the divorce lawsuit with her ex-husband is in full swing, and they still return to a friendship that talks about everything.
In 2017, Donald Trump became president, Ivana published the book "Raising Trump", writing about the process of building an empire with Donald Trump and how to educate his children, although it is said that there is a suspicion of consuming her ex-husband, but the man who has always been swearing is tolerant of Ivana, and it is also intriguing to see the private interaction between the former partners.
Ivana revealed that she and Donald Trump contacted each other about once every two weeks, threatening that without herself, her ex-husband would not be today, and Ivana and Donald Trump's current wife, Melania Trump, had a good relationship and bluntly admired Melania Trump's personality.
However, in the face of Marla Maples, who was openly involved in the marriage at that time, Ivana still had no intention of forgiving after 30 years.
Marla Maples apologized to Ivana after the divorce, but Ivana flatly refused: "People ask me if I accept an apology, I'm sure I don't, why?" She ruined my marriage. ”
When the host asked her about her relationship with Marla Maples on an American talk show in 2017, Ivana fired again: "I would never name a woman on this runway, she doesn't deserve it." ”
A life of drastic transitions, the achievement of a gorgeous and spontaneous counterattack
Ivana's experience has been a gorgeous counterattack, from skier to model, from supermodel to restaurant and casino manager, to running a fashion beauty brand, and then to a writer, observing that every turn in her career starts from the low tide of life.
Not willing to be restricted by the national cultural environment, she decided to marry someone to fight for other nationalities and go to other places to develop; She is not willing to be a bitter match who is interfered with by The Third Child and insists on staying next to her husband, but tries her best to fight for the wealth of working with her husband and breaks out of the sky again.
As for the love part, after the divorce, Ivana continued to talk about love, jokingly calling wandering in the "world of small fresh meat is so happy", the feelings are very light, and there is no setback that can prevent her from continuing to create herself, because she is no longer easily defined by the external environment, and her value is created by herself.
Ivana's funeral was held on the 20th, and her daughter Ivanka broke down in tears several times during her eulogy, but when she mentioned that her mother had disliked her miniskirt as "not mini enough", many people at the scene laughed, saying that her mother's most reasonable quote was: "When you have it, show it off." ”
Ah, really a woman who lives frankly and sincerely.
