Ivanka Trump's no Paris Hilton

By CBB contributor Joscelyne:

Celebrity baby Ivanka Trump wants the world to know that she works hard for her money!  The real estate mogul spoke candidly of her work ethic, and her annoyance with being compared to hotel heiress Paris Hilton. She says, 

I work 13-hour days for my money. I bought my house from my father — I have a mortgage, you know.

The former model turned boardroom beauty is no stranger to hard work, and proves quite savvy of the value of the dollar. She realizes what it takes to maintain her lavish lifestyle, and she’s not afraid to roll up her sleeves and put in some hard work.

Ivanka want to be seen as an individual, and not to be stereotyped as just another party girl with a trust fund.

If I were to go off the rails and become this party kid, I would not be able to afford my lifestyle. I’ve never had a sense of entitlement. I saw how hard my father worked for his money and it was always made very clear to me that things wouldn’t just be given to me.

Ivanka, 26, is the daughter of Donald Trump, and has most recently been in the media defending her dad in his feud with Rosie O’ Donnell.  She also co-stars with Donald in his hit show, The Apprentice.

I would agree that Ivanka is no Paris since she has a brain and works for a living. But since when is the adult child of a celebrity something to discuss on CBB. I thought this was supposed to be about celebrities who are about to have babies and the babies/toddlers/small children already born to celebrities. Not adults.

Nope, we cover all celebrity children. Of course, stories and photos about babies and toddlers are in the news more often, therefore are posted with more regularity, but we often post on teenage and adult children as well. Are you a new reader?

I definitely don’t see her like Paris Hilton AT ALL, and I can’t blame her for wanting to set the record straight that she is not like her!

Blah Blah Ivanka.Realisticly you earn 500,000 do you think that if”The Donald” was not your dad you would be earning that much.Because you are a Trump you don’t nor can you ever know the true meaning of hard work.

Your job and your house were as you say given to you by your dad.Which means you didn’t have to go through all the hell of being rack over the coals by realtor or finance company.Although you say you have a mortage it’s your dad house heaven forbid you’re late on your mortage what do you do cry to daddy?

Regardless Ivanka is a better person then Paris. I don’t know what Ivanka’s problem is of why she had to prove this and why should she care what other people think of her. In this world it’s whom you know and not how hard you work anymore. I wish I had that type of job security thought.
