Ivanka got a job offer at Vogue from Anna Wintour without even doing an interview, and her dad wanted her to be his running mate in 2016

She also saw a slew of reality TV offers amid the 2020 US elections, but she preferred a Shark Tank-style show over a Real Housewives opportunity

Before working at the White House, Ivanka Trump spent 12 years at the Trump Organization and launched her own fashion and lifestyle brand.

But thanks to her powerful father, the 39-year-old could’ve taken on several roles outside the family business.

Here’s where Ivanka could’ve ended up.

Ivanka has openly spoken about how Anna Wintour offered her a postgraduate job at Vogue, even without an interview, because she knew Ivanka liked fashion, according to The Cut.

Wintour, who is the editor-in-chief of Vogue, had been close with the Trump family for a long time – and even attended Donald and Melania Trump’s wedding – but they’ve been distant since he entered politics. Ivanka turned down the job in 2004 to enter the real estate business, despite her father pressuring her to snap up the offer from Wintour, The Cut reported.
