Ivanka Got Steep Discount on Trump Apartment

By Leave a Comment

In her first memoir, The Trump Card, Ivanka Trump brags about paying full price for an expensive two-room apartment inside a Trump-owned building in New York City, but a new book by Dan Alexander, White House, Inc., reveals her father got her a steep discount, Forbes reports.

Said Ivanka: “He wouldn’t just give me an apartment and I wouldn’t accept one if he did. I wouldn’t want to be beholden to him in that way.” 

“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.”
