Lately, it appears that everything involving celebrities include scandals or some other negative issue. From the way that many young female celebrities behave lately, it seems like any news is bad news. Whether the bad news is another arrest or rehab stint, one simply has to open any article about celebrity women. However, unlike Paris Hilton, not every heiress gains fame through sex scandals and jail time. Ivanka Trump, the daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump, is redefining the term heiress. She modeled in the past, and she now uses her brains in the business world. She is the Vice President of Real Estate Development and Acquisitions at the Trump Organization. Ivanka is not asking for an easy way into the celebrity spotlight. For example, the producers of The Bachelorette offered Ivanka a role on the show, but she declined because she does not see herself as an heiress. Whenever the media compares her to Paris Hilton, Ivanka explains that she works hard for her money and does not like the comparisons to the party-girl image of the typical heiress.
In this day and age, it is impressive for a young person immersed in the celebrity world to choose to work when he or she does not need to. Ivanka recently bought her house from her father and pays her own mortgage. Perhaps the difference with Ivanka and any other heiress stems from the way she was brought up by her parents. The Trumps always made Ivanka earn privileges; which gave her such a wonderful sense of ambition and diligence. The choices that Ivanka makes in her press appearances and public image help her to be taken seriously in the business world. Ivanka Trump creates an infallible reputation, and she shows the character of a person that others should look up to.
