Ivanka Boasted About Paying Full Price For A Trump Building Apartment — She Got A $1 Million Discount
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbrewster/2020/09/20/ivanka-boasted-about-paying-full-price-for-a-trump-building-apartment---she-got-a-1-million-discount/#20f123361ba9
In her first memoir, The Trump Card, Ivanka Trump brags about paying full price for a pricey two-room apartment inside a Trump-owned building in New York City, but a new book by Forbes’ senior editor Dan Alexander, White House, Inc., reveals the president got her daughter a steep discount.
In The Trump Card, a memoir that was published in 2009, Ivanka Trump, boasts about being “in control of her own life” and paying full fare for a 1,549 square foot apartment in a Trump property, soon after graduating from college.
“No one gave it to me,” she writes, before claiming she also didn’t benefit from an “insider price.”
But financial documents cited by Alexander reveal Trump paid just $1.5 million, or $968 per square foot, for the apartment in Trump Park Avenue, which stands on the corner of New York City’s 59th street and Park Avenue, while other tenants in the building paid on average $1,667 square foot — meaning Trump received more than a $1 million discount in the deal with her father.
Ivanka did not respond to Alexander’s list of questions sent to both the Trump Organization and the White House.
