The Battle of the Trumps took another bizarre twist when a man who claimed to be Ivana Trump's ex-husband offered to his story "to the highest bidder," the New York Post reported Saturday.
Alfred Winklmayr, 44, wed Ivana in 1971 so that she could obtain a passport and flee her native Czechoslavakia, the Post said. The marriage lasted just two years and was apparently never consummated."Yes, I was married to Ivana," said a man who telephoned the Post claiming to be Winklymayr. "I'm confirming that. I'll be selling my story on the open market."
The Austrian businessman, who said he now lives in Sydney, Australia, with his wife, declined to say how much he would ask for the rights to his story, but said he hired a lawyer to negotiate for him.
