In Ivanka’s “Trump Card” she details her childhood, growing up the daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump, and her rise to become vice president in the Trump Organization.  She is coming at it with the perspective of a woman in business, and a successful one at that–not only is she the VP of Trump Organization, she recently started her own jewelry line, and modeled her way through high school and college–the Trump’s would not provide “extra” money for her, in order for her to be able to go to dinner with friends she had to work for it.  She shares her six recipes for success in “Trump Card.”
