The problem with this kind of assessment is that while we know that Ivanka raked in $12 million over the past year, we really don’t know how much of it was because her dad is the POTUS, and what her take would have been had he never run for office. I’m guessing that with her fashion line and other business ventures, she would have made something — we just don’t know how much.
I think it’s fair to assume that she probably would have made less if it hadn’t been for the Presidency. The Washington DC Trump Hotel alone wouldn’t have yielded as much in profit had Trump not been elected, and heaven knows what other boosts her brand got as a result of a lot of free advertising the media have given her.
I’d be willing to bet, though, that Ivanka’s take is still paltry compared to what her dad is making off the POTUS gig.
