How Jared Kushner rocketed to the top of American politics by his mid-30s by Michal Kranz on Jan 10, 2018, 3:21 PM Advertisement
 Jared Kushner, who now serves as the senior adviser to President Donald Trump, turns 37 years old on Wednesday. Kushner has become part of a circle of advisers and confidantes that are among the closest White House aides to Trump himself, and is an integral part of the Trump family through his marriage to the president's daughter, Ivanka. Although his background in Democratic politics would suggest that he is an unlikely figure for such a position, just like Trump, Kushner comes from a wealthy and influential New York-area family that made its money in real estate. Despite his young age, Kushner has made a name for himself in the real estate development market — but has now found himself in the crosshairs of the Trump-Russia investigation. Here's how Kushner inherited his family's business legacy and rose to the top of American politics in the Trump era: SEE ALSO: The SEC is investigating the Kushner family's company over its use of a controversial visa program Kushner was born on January 10, 1981 in Livingston, New Jersey to Seryl and Charles Kushner.
