The entrepreneurial women of the White House have had their share of success
Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump and Louise Linton — you may know them as the stylish beauties of the White House, but are you also aware that between them they represent considerable business expertise and success? From fashion to jewelry lines and even film production, they have amassed considerable fortunes independent of anyone else, and should serve as a model of entrepreneurial spirit not only for other women but for everyone. They are remarkable for their brains and also happen to be stunning — combinations that understandably cause many to be envious.
With a reported personal fortune of $50 million, according to estimates from Celebrity Net Worth, Melania, who made Maxim’s Hot 100 List in 2018, has gained considerable income over the years from modeling, having appeared on the cover of magazines around the world, as well as from her jewelry and watch line, Melania Timepieces & Jewelry, which debuted on QVC in 2010 and sold out in just 45 minutes. And she’s not just a figurehead. “I am the art director and designer,” she told parenting.com regarding the jewelry line. “I sketch — I love to put the pen to paper and start a piece from scratch. I design the things I love. I studied design and architecture and that’s what I really like to do. It’s a passion of mine.”
