According to Slate, Ivanka Trump’s coming-of-age years were chronicled in the 2003 documentary, “Born Rich,” which IMDb calls a commentary “on children of the insanely rich.” It’s worth noting that the movie was directed by Johnson & Johnson heir, Jamie Johnson, so the whole production is narrated through the lens of the ultra-wealthy. In it, Ivanka came across as more grounded than her peers. “No matter what I hear about my parents, about my family, no matter what I read, the fact is that I’m absolutely proud to be a Trump,” she said. Johnson himself said, “People tend to like her. She’s not as abrasive as her father,” per The Hollywood Reporter. One reviewer wrote that the teens in the documentary “handle most situations in a surprisingly humble manner. Especially the Trump and Johnson children.” Others noted that Ivanka was “poised and articulate,” and surprisingly relatable (via Decider). The proof? Peep the walls of her childhood bedroom, which were covered with posters of her favorite celebrities and crushes.

Additionally, Ivanka shared a story about her father, Donald Trump, which paints an interesting portrait of his wealth. Recalling a time in which they came across a homeless person outside Trump Tower, Donald reportedly told his young daughter, “That guy has $8 billion more than me.” It was “because he was in such extreme debt at that point,” Ivanka remembered, adding, “It makes me all the more proud of my parents that they got through that.”
