Ivanka Trump was not one of the original board members of The Apprentice, but her talent and natural aptitude was realised when she filled in for Carolyn Kepcher during the fifth episode of The Apprentice. This article outlines her early life and career, and highlights why she is a firm favourite and asset to the reality TV show.



Ivanka Trump’s Early Life
