Inside Ivanka Trump’s luxury car collection, from the 1950s Mercedes S-class she uses for date nights with Jared Kushner, to the Dodge Ram she carts kids Arabella and Joseph around in
- Even as a child, Ivanka could be seen wearing a Ferrari jacket – now she’s been able to build quite the collection for herself, with cars costing up to US$250,000
- Her dad Donald Trump may have once complained about German cars, but Ivanka is clearly a Mercedes fan, as her ‘date night’ Instagram photos show
Donald Trump cannot drive his own collection of luxury cars due to security rules that prevent former presidents from getting behind the wheel. But his former White House staff – including his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner – don’t have the same problem. Even before their time in the White House, the couple’s cars weren’t just about getting from A to B, but a big part of their lifestyle.
Ivanka has clearly been a fan of cars since she was a little girl, previously sharing a photo of herself as a child sporting a black leather Ferrari jacket. Still, while working in the West Wing, she had to be driven around by the US Secret Service, so for a while the only member of her household pushing the pedal was her youngest son Theodore, who she photographed driving his Little Tikes Cozy Coupe toy around the house. The New York socialite also counts Tesla founder Elon Musk among her idols, calling him “brilliant” and an “innovator in every sense of the word” in April 2015.
Here’s a look at four cars in her collection.
1. Dodge Ram pickup truck
After the valet brought the car around, Kushner could be seen playing around with his son in the flatbed at the back of the vehicle before the group drove off. The vehicle ranges in price from around US$34,000 to US$60,000.
2. GMC Yukon
General Motors Co. (GMC), which sells vehicles under the brands including Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Baojun and Wuling, hosted Trump in 2020 as she carried out her government role as an adviser on jobs.
