Ivanka Trump Receives Final Approval From Casino Control Board

Trump, besides coming from a mother and father who are extremely successful in business, also has done work on her own.

Donald Trump has risen to epic proportions in popularity. Unlike most well known celebrities, he has not made his name in sports or on television. His star has been formed through his business savvy.

Now his daughter, Ivanka Trump, has decided if it is good enough for my father, it is good enough for me. On Wednesday, she moved closer to following in her father's footsteps in the world of casino gambling.

The state Casino Control Commission of New Jersey gave their blessing to the younger Trump serving on the board of directors of Trump Entertainment Resorts. The company has three casinos in Atlantic City.

The commission had to give their approval for Trump, but the delay in time that it took was routine. The commission looks into the background and finances of potential casino board members. If everything checks out, they usually approve the member.

Trump, besides coming from a mother and father who are extremely successful in business, also has done work on her own. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, one of the top business schools in the nation.
