It’s the New York real estate marriage of the century: Later this month, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are set to get married before 500 guests in a ceremony at the Trump National Golf Club.
Jared, the boy-wonder publisher who made a name for himself when he bought the New York Observer, is the son of Charles Kushner, founder of the multi-billion-dollar real estate empire Kushner Companies, where Jared is also an executive. Ivanka, of course, is the daughter of The Donald and a vice president at the Trump Organization.
Industry folk think a union between the two is almost guaranteed to result in a real estate powerhouse. The question on some minds as the real estate golden boy and girl prepare to marry: What would a prenuptial agreement between the two look like?
Paul Weltz, a partner in the law firm Weltz & Weltz who has worked on numerous celebrity prenuptial agreements, said a prenup between Jared and Ivanka would probably be incredibly detailed, since there is “theoretical,” or inherited wealth involved.
“When I do a prenup, I want to take a theoretical photograph of what A is going into the marriage with and what B is going into the marriage with, so it’s defined for all time,” said Weltz.
Herewith, then, is a snapshot of what a prenup between the couple might look like. Any similarities between this document and one that is actually legally binding or based in fact are purely coincidental.
