She returned to fashion, with a side of business

Although Ivanka had left the modeling world behind, she wasn't quite ready to abandon her ties to fashion altogether. In 2007 she joined forces with a diamond vendor to create Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry, a line of diamond and gold jewelry "for women buying for themselves". Just a few years later she expanded the line to include shoes and handbags for working women. The line has since grown even further to include apparel, accessories, home accents, fragrance and sunglasses.

Her history with the Clintons

Ivanka has said that, like many millennials, she doesn't consider herself categorically Republican or a Democrat, which might explain her relationship with the Clintons. In 2007, she donated $1,000 to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. While this may seem surprising given Clinton's run against her father in the 2016 presidential election, it's not once you know that Ivanka is friends with Clinton's daughter, Chelsea.

In fact, Chelsea told Vogue that Ivanka sometimes reminds her of her father, Bill Clinton: "She's always aware of everyone around her and ensuring that everyone is enjoying the moment," she said. "It's an awareness that in some ways reminds me of my dad, and his ability to increase the joy of the room."
