Ever since Donald Trump was a young man, it was clear that he saw the value of mixing family and business as he went to work for his father Fred. With that in mind, it isn’t surprising that when Donald became a “reality” star due to The Apprentice, he made three of his children, Ivanka, Donald Jr., and Eric, a part of the show. On top of that, Donald’s wife Melania and youngest son Barron also appeared during episodes of The Apprentice.
In addition to the fact that Donald Trump has introduced the world to his kids, people have also become interested in other members of the former President’s family. For example, much has been made about Donald’s relationship with Fred Jr., his deceased older brother. On the other hand, it seems like most people know next to nothing about Donald’s sister Elizabeth Trump Grau.
What Was Elizabeth And Donald Trump's Childhood Like?
Two generations before the former President of the United States Donald Trump and his sister Elizabeth were born, their grandfather started the family business. A former barber, Frederick Trump began to acquire real estate in Queens when he suddenly lost his life during the 1918 flu pandemic when he was 49-years-old. Even though Donald’s father Fred Trump was only 12 when his father died, he walked in his father’s footsteps by continuing to acquire real estate and he expanded by starting a construction business.
In addition to forming a highly successful business that made him very wealthy, Fred Trump tied the knot with Mary Trump and they had five children together. In 1937, Maryanne was born followed by Fred Jr. in 1938, Elizabeth in 1942, Donald in 1946, and Robert in 1948.
Even though Fred’s business empire clearly kept him busy, it is obvious that he cared deeply about his children. After all, Fred welcomed two of his sons into the family business and it seems like his other kids had a similar opportunity. When it comes to Donald’s sisters and his eldest brother Fred Jr., however, they all decided to take their lives in very different directions.
Does Elizabeth Trump Grau Get Along With Donald Trump?
Throughout Donald Trump’s presidency, there was a lot of discussion about his kids, his wife, his deceased brother Fred Jr., and his federal judge sister Maryanne. On the other hand, the press never paid too much attention to Donald’s other sister Elizabeth even though it seems clear that she and the former President have a close relationship. After all, Elizabeth has been seen attending events where her brother was speaking. On top of that, when her niece published a tell-all book about the former president, Elizabeth backed Donald by staying silent on the controversy.
In addition to valuing her relationship with her famous brother Donald and presumably her other siblings, Elizabeth Trump Grau has more love in her life. After all, Elizabeth got her second last name from her longstanding marriage to a highly successful television and movie producer named James Grau who she wed in 1989. An Emmy winner, James was the president of Charisma Productions, an advertising agency and production house.
Elizabeth Trump Grau’s $300 Million Net Worth And Career
According to marriedbiography.org, Elizabeth Trump Grau’s current net worth is $300 million but reliable sources have yet to confirm that figure. While there is no way to know precisely how accurate that number is, it is all but certain that Elizabeth has a lot of money at her disposal. After all, it is known that Elizabeth's businessman father left a lot of money to his kids and her husband James did exceptionally well in his career.
In addition to all of the money that people in Elizabeth Trump Grau’s family have made, it is important to note that she enjoyed a highly successful career. After all, Elizabeth spent many years working in the banking business and it has been reported that she worked in various positions in that industry. Ultimately, it has been reported that Elizabeth grew to be an executive for Chase Manhattan Bank before her retirement.
Unfortunately, Elizabeth Trump Grau was involved in one incident that resulted in her likely losing a significant chunk of change. Since Elizabeth is a wealthy person, she was able to purchase an expensive condo in her New York City’s Trump Palace. As any homeowner will likely be able to attest, owning a home, condo, or apartment can be a money pit since things can go wrong at any time. Unfortunately for Elizabeth, it has been reported that in 2017 there was a major leak in her condo which did lots of water damage. In addition to all of the destruction that was done to her own condo, Elizabeth’s neighbor sued her for $400,000 in compensation for the damage that was done to their home.
