Ivana Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump, left behind an estate worth an estimated $34 million when she died last July, bequeathing her children Ivanka, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. a $26.5 million townhouse in New York and giving a Florida condo worth over $1 million to her former nanny.
Meanwhile, the former president received nothing, according to Forbes, which reported on the contents of the will documents.
The reported neglect is not a complete surprise.
Ivana and Donald Trump were married between 1977 and 1992.
Their acrimonious breakup and resulting divorce became New York tabloid fodder amid Mr Trump’s extramarital affair with Marla Maples, whom he later married.
However, Ivana Trump later said that she and Donald Trump were “best friends” and supported his bid for the White House.
“Donald and I are best friends and together we have raised three children that we love and are very proud of,” Ivana said in a statement to CNN in 2015. “I have nothing but affection for Donald and wish him the best of luck with his campaign . By the way, I think he would make an amazing president.
In November, the Trump siblings put the Manhattan townhouse where Trump lived for decades on the market. The five-story residence, near New York’s Central Park, is listed for $26.5 million, which will be split between Ivanka, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.
Dorothy Curry, the children’s former nanny who later served as an assistant to Ivana Trump, is the largest beneficiary outside of immediate family, according to a Forbes review of estate documents.
She is also reported to be getting Trump’s Yorkshire terrier, Tiger.
Trump’s children spoke admiringly of Ms. Curry.
“She’s an amazing woman,” Donald Trump said of her in 2014, describing her as “a very big part of our lives.”
Ms. Curry was also among the last two people to see Trump alive and the one who discovered her body, according to New York magazine.
In July, the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office ruled that Trump died of accidental “blunt force injuries to her chest” after she was found at the foot of the stairs in her home.
