How Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner earned up to US$640 million without a White House salary – from Trump Hotel dividends to Ivanka’s Women Who Work book deal and tax breaks for the Kushner family business

Who knew that Donald Trump owned these New York City landmarks?
When they earned it:

Taking into account business done in the months before Ivanka entered the White House and a month or so before Jared joined the administration, the couple earned at least US$172 million, and anywhere up to US$640 million, according to the Citizens For Ethics in Washington (CREW).
In 2017 the couple are reported to have earned between US$82 million and US$222 million; between US$28 million and US$135 million in 2018; and between US$36 million and US$156 million in 2019. In 2021 that number is likely to be between US$23.8 million and US$120 million. Not bad.
