How Ivanka Trump, Eric, and Don Jr make their millions from fashion lines to following in dad’s real-estate footsteps
THEIR father is famous for his millions and Ivanka, Eric, and Donald Trump Jr have amassed their own fortunes, through ventures like fashion lines to following in dad’s real estate footsteps.
Former President Donald Trump has five children — Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany and Barron — and three of them are stakeholders of the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC.
DONALD TRUMP JR
Donald Trump Jr, the oldest child of the former president, studied economics at the University of Pennsylvania and is now one of two Executive Vice Presidents of the Trump Organization.
According to his bio on the organization’s website, Donald Jr oversees an “extensive property portfolio” and “works to expand the company’s real estate, retail, commercial, hotel and golf interests.”
Donald Jr joined the organization in 2001, working at Trump Place in NYC, then lead the development of Trump Park Avenue.
He also runs his own web store, selling merchandise that expresses support for his twice-impeached dad, and slams any critics or rivals.
Trump Jr sells a selection of t-shirts and hoodies with the phrase “Fauci lied, puppies died” emblazoned on the front and a “pride” collection with the phrase “LGBTQ: Let’s Get Biden to Quit.”
There’s even holiday gear, which shows Santa’s sleigh and the words “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Let’s Go, Brandon.”

IVANKA TRUMP
Ivanka is a fashion model-turned-businesswoman.
She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004 with a degree in economics.
Prior to joining her father’s administration, she had a fashion line and published a book, Women Who Work.
Ivanka served as a senior adviser to Donald Trump during his presidency and was also Director of the Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship.
Her husband, Jared Kushner, held an advisory position as well: Director of the Office of American Innovation.
Ivanka previously served as Executive Vice President of Development and Acquisitions at the Trump Organization.
Thanks to her fashion background, and her investment-savvy husband, Ivanka may have the highest net worth of any Trump child.
A 2019 Forbes article estimated her net worth to be $375million, while brothers Donald Jr and Eric only boasted $25million each.
ERIC TRUMP
Eric is a Georgetown graduate who shares the title of Executive Vice President with big brother Donald Jr.
As the Trump Organization website states, Eric is in the lead on Trump Golf projects.
He also handles a variety of real estate projects, and is “responsible for all aspects of management and operation of the global real estate empire including new project acquisition, development and construction.”
He established the Eric Trump Foundation in 2006, an organization that raises money for terminally ill children.
However, the foundation has been dogged by controversy after tax records showed a significant portion of funds raised were funneled back into the Trump Organization, and to other charities, including those which paid to hold events at Trump golf courses.
Eric’s fortune allowed him and his wife Lara to relocate to South Florida earlier this year, moving into a $3.2 million mansion in Palm Beach.
TIFFANY TRUMP
The second-youngest of Trump’s children, Tiffany is just beginning her career.
She celebrated her graduation from Georgetown Law School with a virtual commencement ceremony on May 16, 2020.
Her mother, Marla Maples, shared a heartfelt video of herself congratulating her daughter.
“With all of my heart, I am so proud of my daughter. She graduated from Georgetown Law School last weekend, and she is a lawyer,” the proud mom gushed in the two-and-a-half-minute clip.
Dad Donald also congratulated Tiffany in his traditional way: via Twitter.
“Congratulations to my daughter Tiffany, on graduating from Georgetown Law” he tweeted.
“Great student, great school. Just what I need is a lawyer in the family. Proud of you Tiff!”
Tiffany is engaged to Lebanese businessman Michael Boulos, who has a net worth of around $20million.
His father is Lebanese business tycoon Massad Boulos, who runs Boulos Enterprises and SCOA Nigeria, a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate that trades in vehicles, equipment, retail and construction.
BARRON TRUMP
At just 15 years old, Barron Trump hasn’t amassed a fortune of his own yet, but his parents Donald and Melania have set him on track.
The former president’s youngest son is enrolled in a $34,800-a-year private Palm Beach academy near Mar-a-Lago.
Oxbridge Academy was founded in 2011 by billionaire William Koch.
He is a brother of Republican mega-donors Charles and David Koch and has previously fundraised for Trump’s campaigns.
Barron’s mother said the teen is “all into sports” back in 2018, so there’s a good chance the family chose the academy because of its soccer program.
The school told parents via email that the secret service will now have a presence on the 54-acre campus.
“They want to have little impact on our day-to-day operations,” the school said of the secret service.
