Ladies and Gentlemen, gather around and lend me your ears! Boys and girls, hush now, there’s a bit of grown-up chat to be had! Today, our juicy morsel is none other than American-Slovakians’, sorry, New Yorkers’ favorite Czech import after Pilsner Beer: Ivana Trump. By now, we all know Ivana's caviar wishes and Trump Tower sized-dreams were not only extravagant but pretty lucrative, converting dreams into reality to the tune of a cool $25 million!
Say what you want about the tale of Ivana and the Donald, love it or loathe it, you must admit it had the pomp, color, and drama expected in an opera house conceived by Leo Tolstoy but aired in reality show format, i.e., with saucier bits! As our heroine walked away from the Trump ship with a handsome souvenir smoother than a ticket stub, leaving Donald wondering, "why do these real-estate deals sting more when Ivana's at the other end of the settlement?"
Lucky Dame? World-Class Negotiator? However you view it, the Divorce Diva really capitalized on her union and subsequent parting with America's most infamous real estate tycoon. Ivana bagged herself a hefty $25 million divorce settlement and continued to live her life with style – and why not? After all, you can never mistake a helluva businesswoman when Ivana’s genes are 'trumping' that talent gene pool! Darlings, the moral of the story is - remember to not only cross your heart but cross your fingers too...just in case you need to count few extra millions someday!
