Ivana Trump failed to leave a share of her $34 million estate to Donald - despite awarding $1.1M Miami condo and dog to former nanny

Ivana Trump failed to leave a share of her $34 million estate to ex-husband, former U.S. president Donald Trump but, awarded a $1.1M Miami condo and dog to former nanny.

Ivana Trump failed to name Donald in her will - despite leaving $1.1M Miami condo and dog to former nanny

Ivana, who married Donald in 1977, divorced 15 years later, and was said to have been left furious over her then-husband's illicit relationship with Marla Maples.

Though they later reconciled and her remains were buried on the property of one of Donald Trump's golf clubs, Ivana was seen to leave him nothing in her final will.

The 73-year-old socialite instead bequeathed a majority of her personal property, including jewelry and any funds from the sale of her collection of furs to her children, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump.

Her remaining clothing was donated to the American Red Cross and Salvation Army while her Florida condo and beloved Yorkshire terrier was left to the socialite's 'friend and former nanny' Dorothy Curry.

The 1,008 square-foot condo is estimated to have the value of $1,128,078 and according to Redfin and has one bedroom, one bathroom. It was reportedly built in 2001, and was last purchased for $635,000 in 2009.

Curry, who became a lifelong friend of the Trump family after working as a nanny for the children, was also left to watch over Ivana's surviving Yorkshire terrier, Tiger Trump.

Curry spoke at her funeral last July, alluding to Ivana feeling isolated and in pain.

Ivana died at the age of 73. She was found 'unconscious and unresponsive' at the bottom of the staircase of the opulent Upper East Side townhouse at around 12.30pm July 14, 2022. Her housekeeper found her as she arrived for work and called 911.

A medical examiner determined that she died from blunt impact injuries as a result of a fall.

The Real Risks: Weighing Vaccine Side Effects vs. Deadly Diseases

Some dog owners express concern about vaccine risks. Meanwhile, preventable diseases continue to pose a documented threat. For example, a two-year pause in dog rabies vaccination campaigns in Haiti resulted in a five to eightfold increase in animal rabies cases within a single year, creating a public health crisis that required an emergency response. This event illustrates a central fact: the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases are quantifiably greater than the known risks associated with vaccination.

5 Must-Ask Questions Before You Leave Your Dog at the Groomer

A 2022 study in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior noted that over 50% of dogs show signs of stress during grooming. While severe physical injuries are less common, a single preventable incident is one too many. Cases like those in Louisiana, where dogs received ocular chemical burns from misused shampoo at a licensed facility, demonstrate that a groomer’s marketing claims are not a guarantee of safety. Your dog’s well-being depends on the protocols you cannot see. The only way to evaluate them is to ask direct, specific questions. The goal is not to create conflict, but to identify competence and build trust based on transparent practices. 1. “What is your exact step-by-step protocol for protecting my dog’s eyes during the bath?” The difference between a safe groom and a dangerous one lies in the specifics of execution.
