Here's How Far The Trumps Really Got In School

Posted by Valentine Belue on Friday, June 14, 2024

Donald Trump's first wife, Ivana Trump, has one of the highest levels of education of anyone in the immediate Trump family, besides Tiffany Trump and Donald Trump's sister Maryanne, though she technically hasn't been part of the family since 1992. 

The mother of Ivanka, Eric, and Donald Jr. was a competitive skier as a child, joining Czechoslovakia's youth ski team before being passed over for the 1972 Olympics, according to Hello! magazine. Her athletic background led her to obtain a master's degree in physical education from Charles University in Prague. She didn't get much of a chance to use the degree, however, as she soon married Austrian skier Alfred Winklmayr and moved to Toronto. Their marriage fizzled, and Ivana moved to Montreal, where she began modeling. That work led her to New York, where, in 1976, she was drinking at Maxwell's bar when in walked Donald Trump. Nine months later they were married. 

We never really got a glimpse of Ivana's athletic prowess that led her to study physical education until she appeared on the Italian version of Dancing with the Stars, where she dazzled audiences while dancing with ex-husband Rossano Rubicondi (via Daily Mail).
