Early life and education
Born in New York City, Tiffany Trump is the only child of Marla Maples and Donald Trump.[2] She was named by her parents after Tiffany & Company (her father's purchase of the air rights above the store in the 1980s allowed him to build Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue).[3] She was raised by her mother in California, where she lived until graduation from high school.[4]
She was educated at Viewpoint School in Calabasas, California.[5] She is a 2016 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where she double-majored in sociology and urban studies.[4][6]
Career
In 2014, while attending the University of Pennsylvania, Trump released a single "Like a Bird", and later said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey on The Oprah Winfrey Show[7] that she was evaluating whether to take her music career "to the next level as a professional".[8] Trump has also worked as an intern at Vogue and modeled for a 2016 Andrew Warren fashion show during New York Fashion Week.[9]
Personal life
Tiffany Trump has stated that she is registered to vote in Pennsylvania as a member of the Republican Party.[10] During the 2016 presidential election, she joined her father and other members of the Trump family at campaign appearances.[11] She spoke at the 2016 Republican National Convention on the second night of the Convention.[12][13]
She has been romantically linked to Ross Mechanic, whom she met while they were both students at Penn.[14] Ross' father, Jonathan Mechanic, is the chairman of the Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson law firm's real estate department.[15][16]
Tiffany Trump is a frequent poster to Instagram where, as of 2016, she had more than 200,000 followers.[17] Her posts on Instagram are often taken with friends and fellow heirs and heiresses including Kyra Kennedy, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; Gaïa Matisse, great-great-granddaughter of artist Henri Matisse; and E.J. Johnson, son of Magic Johnson. The group, whose posed photos are edited by Andrew Warren, has been referred to collectively as the "rich kids of Instagram" by the New York Post and the "Snap Pack" by The New York Times and New York magazine.[6][18][19][20]
