Ivanka Trump Has a New Book. The Question Is Who Gets the Money

Source: Bloomberg

Looks like Ivanka Trump will have a hot new business book on her hands. Trouble is, that prospect is causing a business hiccup for America’s influential first daughter.

With “Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success” set to hit U.S. shelves on May 2, Trump is still trying to navigate how the book will fit into her various moneymaking enterprises.

Given that her father is now president, Trump has pledged to donate all of the proceeds to charity. But with pre-publication orders coming in, she has yet to say where the money will go, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Moreover, because Trump has vowed to separate herself from her namesake women’s fashion line, the book may not do as much to help promote the business she used to run from New York’s Trump Tower.

they declare that they will give to a charity and then, they keep the cash themselves.

I suspect that it will all go to the grasping, greedy Trumps as usual.

3. Step 1: Make sure you are born in a family that already owns a multi-million dollar business.

Step 2: Know when looking pretty and lots of flattery will take you farther than all that smart talk.

Walking on grass wearing those spike heels, does she avoid grass all together? , keep on tippy toes on grass? or has she ever sunk in the grass and flipped backwards?

Just kidding.

Her book, her money when people buy the book. Called self-employment income and she can do what she wants with money she 'earned'.
