Before 2015, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were well-settled in new York social circles. They hung around with other rich, stylish people who go to the Met Gala and attend fundraisers for worthy causes at venues around New York City. They were known for Ivanka’s fashion line and Jared’s real estate deals, as well as being part of the Trump media world, thanks to Ivanka’s appearances on The Apprentice.
