Over the years, we’ve encountered numerous captivating conspiracy theories involving Donald Trump. One of the more curious ones revolves around the final resting place of his ex-wife, Ivana, and why it is located on a golf course.

In the world of Donald Trump, rumors are abundant. Some have speculated about him and Melania using body doubles, while others point to Trump’s supposed ear injury from an alleged assassination attempt. But among these tales, there lies a peculiar mystery — the burial site of Ivana Trump.

Ivana was married to Donald Trump from 1977 until their split in 1990. The couple had three children: Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. Following their divorce, Ivana went on to marry Riccardo Mazzucchelli in 1995, and later Rossano Rubicondi in 2008.

One might expect Donald Trump to ensure a grand and respectable resting place for Ivana, considering her role as the mother of his children. However, the reality is quite surprising — she lies in a plot of earth at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Pictures from 2023 depict an unkempt and overgrown site.

The Reason Behind Ivana Trump’s Unusual Burial Location

Ivana was laid to rest in an elegant gold casket, which made its way from a Manhattan funeral home to St. Vincent Ferrer Roman Catholic Church for the funeral service. Melania Trump stood by Donald’s side at the ceremony to support him and the family.

In 2014, Trump proposed turning part of the golf course into a cemetery area, aiming for a place where prestigious golfers could be interred. Due to various reasons, this proposal was not fully approved, and a more modest plan allowing up to ten cemetery plots was accepted.

Ivana Trump, the Golf Course’s First Known Resident

For now, Ivana is the first and only known individual buried at this unique location. Brooke Harrington, a sociologist from Dartmouth College, remarked on the seeming simplicity of Ivana’s grave, likening it to ‘little more than a pauper’s grave’.

Potential Financial Reasons Behind the Burial Choice

Newsweek mentioned that the land on Ivana’s grave could be eligible for a tax break. However, they added that executing such a scheme might be too complex and cumbersome, considering Trump’s already minimal tax liabilities on this property.

Though such a tax exemption could mean Trump investing more in cemetery maintenance without additional taxes, this benefit might be quite limited.
