Ivanka Trump is the daughter of the New York real estate mogul Donald Trump. Ivanka has been creating a career of her own with modeling and several television appearances, but she is still yet to step out of her famous father's shadow.

She was born on October 30, 1981 in New York city. Ivanka was born to Donald Trump and Ivana Trump. Her parents had three children together, including Donald Jr. born in 1977, Ivanka born in 1981, and Eric born in 1984.

Ivanka attended the same school as her famous father, graduating from the Wharton School of Finance with a Bachelor of Science in Economics.

Trump was encouraged to earn her own money while growing up. Ivanka started modeling at just 16 years of age and has appeared in numerous popular magazines, including the cover of the Seventeen magazine in 1997. She also hosted the Miss Teen USA Pageant in that same year.

Trump has represented and modeled for several well known fashion labels and brands, including Sassoon Jeans and Versace. Her career in television started with the popular "Born Rich" reality television program in 2003 where a group of young people talked about growing up rich. She has since made appearances in a number of television programs that include "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", "Project Runway", and "The Apprentice".

Her father's popular television series "The Apprentice" has brought Trump and her brother Donald Junior on board in series six. She had already appeared on the series few times, but she has now replaced one of the central figures of the program, Carolyn Kepcher.
