Ivana Trump forget to pay tax bill -- give her a break!
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Ivana Trump -- the former Mrs. Donald and mother of Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric -- failed to pay a $145,216 tax bill because of all the excitement surrounding her $3 million wedding to Rossano Rubicondi.
According to
The Daily Dish, "Trump was named and shamed by Florida authorities after failing to pay the property tax on her $10 million estate."
I say leave this woman alone. Not only did she marry Donald Trump, she slept with him enough times to have 3 children. Anyone who did that should not have to pay taxes again. She's suffered enough! I know that she received a reported divorce settlement of more than $40 million but still. That's not nearly enough for putting up with him.
- Forgetting to pay taxes? Anyone could do it, <a href="http://www.walletpop.com/2008/05/22/ivana-trump-forget-to-pay-tax-bill-give-her-a-break/">says Zac Bissonnette</a>.
- He bought the Palm Beach house for $125 million, and had to <a href="http://www.walletpop.com/2008/05/20/donald-trump-sells-100-million-house-makes-offensive-comment/">sell it for $100 million</a>, despite his legendary interactions with the Palm Beach city council.
- Using a Scottish coat of arms? You'd better check with Lord Lyons, the lord of heraldry, first. <a href="http://www.walletpop.com/2008/02/16/donald-trump-breaks-scottish-law-from-1672/">Donald didn't before using a coat of arms for his new Scottish golf course</a>, and the word is that Lord Lyons could actually rip the thing down if he likes.
- Could Donald do it better? Of course! Or, so he says. <a href="http://www.walletpop.com/2008/02/08/donald-trump-shooting-his-mouth-at-united-nations/">In early February 2008, Donald Trump made headlines stating that he could renovate the United Nations building in New York City better, and cheaper, than anyone else</a>.
- Did he or didn't he? That was the question after <a href="http://www.walletpop.com/2007/12/06/youre-tipped-trump-leaves-waiter-a-10-000-gratuity/">a restaurant in LA claimed Donald had left his waiter a $10,000 tip</a> for a meal.
- It turns out that he's not the uber-tipper after all. Donald <a href="http://www.walletpop.com/2007/12/07/the-donald-not-an-uber-tipper-after-all/">called the restaurant in question "stupid" and the $10,000 tip claim a publicity stunt</a>. We call it brilliant! (and also, a publicity stunt.)
