She is different, 10 unknown facts about the First Lady Melania Trump, number 6 shocked many
Melania began her academic journey at the University of Ljubljana, where she studied architecture and design. However, after just one year, she decided to leave and move to Milan to pursue a modeling career. Starting at the age of 16, she quickly gained recognition in Paris and Milan, becoming a prominent figure in the industry. Melania’s work was featured in major publications like Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Sports Illustrated. Notably, she became the first First Lady to appear in a magazine in a nude photo.
Standing at 180 cm (5’11”), Melania is one of the tallest First Ladies in American history, sharing this distinction with Eleanor Roosevelt and Michelle Obama.
Melania is only the second Catholic First Lady in U.S. history, following Jacqueline Kennedy, the first.
Unlike previous First Ladies, Melania delayed her move to the White House for five months after Donald Trump’s inauguration, choosing to remain in New York until their son Barron completed the fifth grade. It remains to be seen whether this arrangement would change if Donald Trump secures a second term.
In 2025, on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration, Melania introduced her own cryptocurrency, the $Melania coin, following the launch of the $Trump coin.
