Florida socialite Bettina Anderson is in the spotlight after she was ‘caught kissing’ Donald Trump Jr. in Palm Beach.
Donald Jr.’s August 17 liplock with the 37-year-old socialite at The Honor Bar allegedly blindsided his fiancée of two years, Kimberly Guilfoyle.
‘She seemed totally smitten with Don – and he with her,’ an insider told DailyMail.com.
‘They looked totally relaxed, she wearing a white shirt tied off to show her midriff and wide leg pants, he in shorts and a t-shirt.’
The blonde-haired bombshell has caught Don Jr.’s eye, but she’s known for more than just being the former President’s son’s Royal Poinciana Plaza date.
What does Bettina do for work?
Bettina is a Florida-based philanthropist who co-founded The Paradise Fund – a charity founded in 2005 that specializes in disaster relief that works to improve children’s welfare and education worldwide.
She’s also involved with other organizations like The Everglades Foundation, The Society of the Four Arts, and the Project Paradise Film Fund.
‘I am so proud of one of my most recent projects I am doing with the Project Paradise Film Fund initiative,’ she told Fashion Week Daily in 2022.
‘One of the greatest focuses of my life is how I can be of service to others and a be steward of the environment.’
Who are her friends and family?
Bettina confirmed in her Instagram bio that she does not have a husband or children.
However, she is close with her family members, including her brothers Kent and Loy, who are the other two co-founders of The Paradise Fund.
She is the daughter of Inger and the late Harry Loy Anderson Jr, and the second youngest of six children, including her twin sister.
‘My mom has always been an inspiration to me,’ she told Fashion Week Daily.
‘I am also so inspired by my friends, like my two girlfriends Ivey Leidy and Hope Smith, who are creating incredible brands while raising families and being incredible wives.’
What is Bettina known for besides philanthropy?
Not only is the Florida socialite a hardworking philanthropist, but was also one of Jupiter Magazine’s most eligible singles in 2019.
Bettina described herself as a ‘personal trainer,’ and claimed that she looked like Heidi Klum.
Other than that, she says she is a people person, and revealed that she’s most proud of the incredible network’ she has and the ability to create connections.
‘My biggest dream is to live a significant life. A life of meaning and of purpose,’ she said back in 2022.
‘I want to engage this life with passion and with an attitude of gratitude, and to live in a way that honors creation.’
Bettina is also a fashion enthusiast, and believes style means ‘knowing your body and having confidence in whatever you wear,’ according to Moda Operandi.
‘I think people look their best when they’re wearing something they feel comfortable in and that they really love,’ she told Moda Operandi.
‘I’m loving bold colors, micro minis, open backs, and square-toed sandals.’
