Ivana added elegant gold leaf, sparkly chandeliers and crown moldings.

In 1982, five years after their marriage, Donald and Ivana Trump bought their starter mansion. The future president was only 35 and Ivana was just 33 when they purchased a grandĀ home on 5.8 acres on a peninsula in Greenwich, Connecticut for $4 million. Always a family-oriented business, Ivana was also remodeling the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, which Donald purchased in the early 1980s, and she was able to incorporate many of the same materials in the decoration of their new home creating a residence dripping in gold leaf, elegant chandeliers and crown moldings. When they divorced in 1991, Ivana won $14 million, the Greenwich mansion, and an apartment in Trump Plaza in the property settlement.
