Ivanka Trump was photographed celebrating on election night 2024, after her father, Donald Trump, won the 2024 presidential election. This was a watershed moment for the former first daughter, who had largely withdrawn from the political scene after her father left the White House in January 2021.
At 43, Ivanka has spent the last three years leading a high-profile but apolitical lifestyle. From jet-setting around the world and mingling with A-list celebrities such as best friend Kim Kardashian to overseeing the meticulous renovation of a $24 million mega-mansion on Miami’s exclusive Indian Creek Island, her attention seemed far removed from Washington, D.C.
A $24 Million “Billionaire Bunker” Transformation
According to Realtor.com, Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, bought the mansion with six bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms in April 2021.
The property, located in a gated community known as the “Billionaire Bunker” due to its elite residents, including Tom Brady and Jeff Bezos, was originally designed in neoclassical style. However, the couple chose a sleek, modern makeover.
The renovations took two years and transformed the house into a contemporary masterpiece. The exterior was painted a crisp white with edgy black trim to replace the original wooden accents.
The mansion’s traditional aesthetic gave way to industrial-style modernity, while the original structure’s soaring 26-foot-high ceilings and double staircase remained intact.
A chef’s kitchen, spa-like primary suite, and reimagined pool cabana with a sauna, steam room, and cold plunge pool reflect the couple’s dedication to luxury and comfort. The backyard swimming pool was completely overhauled and reinstalled, creating a stunning focal point for outdoor entertaining, per the state website and app.
Washington, D.C versus Florida
While Ivanka’s return to her father’s side on election night fueled speculation about her future political involvement, she has kept her plans private. However, her decision to appear at such a pivotal moment suggests that she may still need more time to be done with politics.
