Melania Knauss)

She was born in Sevnica, Slovenia, at the time when it was part of (the former) Yugoslavia. She grew up in a home where her father and mother made sure she was well-educated with the intention of success in life on their minds. This meant many hours of studying books when she was young.

In 1999, she met Trump at a fashion event. At the same time she secured a big modeling job for Allure magazine.

Her notoriety was raised a few notches after appearing on the Howard Stern show with Trump and revealing their naughty sex life. This led to a nude layout in British GQ magazine, including the cover shot in January of 2000. She was considered a supermodel in many parts of Europe, although she did not achieve that level of fame in the United States.
