Yesterday, the Day by day Mail printed a narrative that claimed, primarily based on a number of inside sources, that Vanessa Trump and Tiger Woods are relationship. They’ve apparently been relationship since Thanksgiving.
Now, in the event you‘re not conscious, Vanessa is Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife. They had been married from 2005 to 2018 and have 5 youngsters collectively, together with Kai Trump who has turn into fairly well-known within the final yr.
Vanessa had an fascinating relationship historical past earlier than Don Jr. In 1998, she briefly dated Leonardo DiCaprio. From 1998 to 2001, she dated a Saudi prince named Khalid bin Sultan Al Saud. Khalid’s mom‘s father was King Faisal bin Abdulaziz, who was King of Saudi Arabia from 1964 till his assassination in 1975. Vanessa and Khalid supposed to marry, however sadly, destiny stepped in on 9/11/2001. Instantly after the assaults, Khalid was known as again to Saudi Arabia as a result of his father was suspected of getting connections to the 9/11 hijackers. At present, Khalid is Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the UK.
One night time in 2003, Donald Trump and Don Jr. had been attending a trend present when the daddy noticed Vanessa. As Donald Sr. later recollected on an episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Present” in 2011:
“She appeared so stunning. I mentioned, ‘Don, that is the particular person it is best to marry.'”
As Vanessa later recounted, at that trend present, “Donald Trump comes as much as me together with his son: “Hello, I am Donald Trump. I needed to introduce you to my son, Donald Trump Jr.” On the intermission, Donald approached Vanessa once more and mentioned, “I do not suppose you have met my son, Donald Trump Jr.” To which she replied, “Ya, we simply met 5 minutes in the past.”
A number of weeks later, Donald Jr. and Vanessa discovered themselves at a celebration being launched but once more (this time by somebody aside from Donald Sr.). They did not acknowledge one another at first, however after speaking for an hour, “one thing clicked,” and Vanessa exclaimed (***these are her phrases***), “Oh! You are the one with the retarded dad!”
Just a few months later, in November 2004, Don Jr. proposed to Vanessa with a $100,000 diamond ring. Famously, he didn’t purchase the ring. He acquired it totally free from a jeweler in change for proposing in entrance of the shop on the Brief Hills Mall in New Jersey whereas paparazzi snapped pictures.
Look, am I going to sit down right here and declare that I’d not have accepted a free $100,000 ring in change for a tacky photo-op setup? No. However I am additionally not the son of a billionaire, and I believe that is what makes this transfer fairly lame. I simply checked, and positive sufficient, one of many pictures from that day is obtainable for me to license from Getty. So I simply spent the cash so that you can get pleasure from:

Right here is the outline that goes together with the photograph:
“November 11, 2004: Vanessa Haydon, fiance and Donald Trump Jr. throughout Bailey Banks and Biddle Positive Jewelers Supplies Diamond Engagement Ring for Donald Trump Jr.’s Fiancee Vanessa Haydon at Brief Hills Mall in Brief Hills, New Jersey, United States.”
Anyhoo.
Vannessa’s relationship historical past is definitely not my favourite story about her.
A Saucy Funding
Vanessa Haydon grew up on the Higher East Facet of Manhattan. Her mom ran the Kay Fashions company, which most likely helped when teenage Vanessa determined to pursue a modeling profession. Her mom‘s second husband, Charles Haydon, was really her stepfather. He is ceaselessly known as her father, however he’s really her stepfather. I could not discover any details about her birthfather, however Vanessa’s authorized beginning identify is Vanessa Kay Pergolizzi, so I am guessing it is a man whose final identify is Pergolizzi.
There is a restaurant in New York known as Rao’s that has been round since 1896.
A century later, in 1992, the restaurant needed to develop into promoting pasta sauce commercially. Needing some capital to launch this new facet enterprise, Rao’s took on a $1 million funding from… Charles Haydon. In change, Charles acquired a 30% stake within the industrial enterprise, not the restaurant.
Marinara Millionara
Sadly, Charles died in 1995. He left his 30% stake in equal elements to Vanessa and her mom (15% every).
In 2017, Rao’s was acquired by a competing client model conglomerate for $415 million. With the acquisition, Vanessa and her mom break up a $125 million windfall, $62 million a chunk, pre-tax. They each grew to become in a single day marinara millionaras.
When her mom dies, Vanessa would be the sole inheritor to the Rao’s windfall. Her full inheritance will simply be north of $100 million, all in with actual property and different sources of household wealth that had been created outdoors of marinara.

Love on the Hyperlinks? Vanessa and Tiger Woods
Vanessa’s love life continues to be something however boring.
If she is certainly relationship Tiger Woods it will make a variety of sense. They each dwell in Palm Seaside and have children on the similar elite faculty, The Benjamin College, the place tuition prices $38,000 per yr. They’ve been noticed collectively, together with at a PGA Tour occasion the place Vanessa’s daughter Kai wore Tiger’s golf merch. Whereas neither has confirmed the connection, the hypothesis is in full swing. Whether or not that is only a pleasant pairing or one thing extra, one factor‘s for positive—Tiger is aware of a factor or two about driving, and Vanessa’s acquired the sauce to maintain issues fascinating.
