Ivanka Trump made a dazzling return to the political arena on election night when she stood by father Donald Trump‘s side in Florida as he surged to victory in the 2024 presidential election.
The moment marked a turning point for the two-time first daughter, who has all but turned her back on politics since her father officially left the White House in January 2021.
In the years since, Ivanka, 43, has pursued a lifestyle more befitting an A-list celebrity, traveling the world, attending star-studded red carpet events, palling around with Kim Kardashian—and completing a gut renovation of a staggering $24 million megamansion on Miami’s Indian Creek Island.
The mother of three purchased the immense six-bedroom, 8.5-bathroom compound with her husband, Jared Kushner, in April 2021.
Images taken in the months after the sale closed revealed that the couple had gutted the home, leaving nothing but a bare shell that has since been transformed into one of the most enviable properties in the exclusive neighborhood, which is known as the “Billionaire Bunker” thanks to its residents’ incredible wealth.

Work on the property went on for more than two years, with Ivanka hosting a birthday celebration there just weeks before the renovation was finally completed in November 2023.
Property records reveal that Ivanka and Kushner—who both served as senior advisers to Donald during his first term as president—took out a $15 million mortgage when purchasing the home.
The couple purchased the home from billionaire Alex Meruelo and his wife, Liset Meruelo.
