Donald Trump Jr., 37, is the oldest child of Donald Trump and his first wife, Ivana Trump. He currently works along in the position of Executive Vice President at The Trump Organization.

Junior’s love of hunting is no secret. He’s even admitted in an interview that hunting did a lot for him growing up, “in terms of keeping me out of trouble.” In 2012, Donald made waves with this photo, after TMZ obtained and published photos of the Trump boys posing on safari in Zimbabwe.

Like his father, Donald Jr. is a graduate of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. After graduation, he took year off to party in Aspen, Colarado. The year proved to be a turning point in his life, as he afterwards agreed to renounce his party lifestyle, and settle down to work for his father.

Months after her fashion line was forced to recall highly flammable scarves made in China, Ivanka was sued by Italian shoe line Aquazzura in Manhattan federal court.
