accomplished? Hahahaha. Fuck dude. She's a mail order bride.
Not quite a "mail order bride," but close. She was clearly a "working girl". Her past adventures may have been imperfect, but she seems to have overcome it. Today, at almost 50 years of age she carries herself with dignity and poise.
Melania began working as a model at 16. She was signed by an agency in Milan when she was 18, but it wasn’t until she turned 22 that she got her big break. Melania was runner-up in the Slovenian women’s magazine Jana’s “Look of the Year” contest. Melania worked with well-known photographers like Patrick Demarchelier and Helmut Newton and appeared on the covers of Harper’s Bazaar in Bulgaria and Vanity Fair in Italy.
After 4 years working as a model in Milan and Paris she relocated to the U.S. at 26. In 1996, Melania moved to Manhattan and shared an apartment with photographer Matthew Atanian. When Melania was 30 years old, she posed nude in GQ magazine in 2000. Her modeling career was associated with Irene Marie Models and Trump Model Management.
Shortly after moving to the U.S. she met Donald Trump at a party. At the time Trump was married to Marla Maples. Three years later Trump and Maples divorced.
She was featured in a sexually explicit photo-shoot for the January 1996 issue of Max, a now-defunct French men's magazine, with another female model. She also posed nude for the January 2000 edition of GQ magazine, appearing on the cover naked but for diamond jewelry, reclining on fur, aboard Trump's custom-fitted Boeing 727.
Melania and Donald married in 2005. Eleven years later Melania became First Lady.
