White House adviser Ivanka Trump has been active on the campaign trail in the final weeks leading up to the elections. In time for election day, Ivanka has brought in $35 million for her father’s reelection campaign.

Ivanka has stepped in on behalf of her father during several campaign events and fundraisers. In the last week of October, Ms. Trump brought in $13 million in donations from three campaign events in California and one in Detroit, Michigan. The White House adviser headlined 11 campaign events since October 25, which makes the overall donations she has brought in around $35 million, breaking the single-day fundraising haul record by former President Barack Obama that was set back in 2014.

“Our donors were thrilled to hear directly from Ivanka Trump about the policies her father has delivered on and his vision for the next four years,” said Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel.

The Trump campaign believes Ivanka can appeal to suburban women voters who have since stepped away from supporting Trump. Ms. Trump has been a key surrogate in campaigning as Trump remains outspent and outraised by Biden and the Democrats for the past several months. According to financial disclosures of both campaigns, Trump had $63.1 million in campaign funds, while Biden had $177.3 million.

Much has been said about Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, who is also a White House adviser and their wealth. Forbes has revealed that Ms. Trump has a fortune of $375 million, and even though she works in the executive branch in the White House, Ivanka has an unpaid advisory role to her father. Her fortune was built from her days as a model, designer, and businesswoman. Ms. Trump has since worked in the Trump Organization.

Kushner, on the other hand, has a net worth of over $800 million, having built his fortune as a real estate developer and investor. Kushner’s fortune has since increased since buying out The New York Observer in 2006 and founding Cadre estate in 2014 alongside his brothers. The White House adviser currently has a stake worth of between $26 million to $52 million.
