Barbara Anne Eisenhower (May 30, 1949 – July 30, 2022) was an American interior designer based in New York City.[1]

Early life[edit]

On May 30, 1949, Eisenhower was born in West Point, New York. Eisenhower's father was John Eisenhower, a U.S. military historian and a U.S. diplomat. Eisenhower's mother was Barbara Jean (née Thompson) Eisenhower. Eisenhower's grandfather was General Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States.[2]

Personal life[edit]

Eisenhower's first husband was Fernando Echavarría-Uribe, an insurance executive from Bogotá, Colombia, whom she met while vacationing in South America in 1966.[3][4] They married in November 1968,[3][4][5] and six months later had a daughter, Adriana Echavarría (born May 29, 1969). Adriana was the first great-grandchild of President Eisenhower; she was born two months after his death. Adriana became a photographer,[6] and was married for a time to Eduardo Mendoza de la Torre, the ex Vice Minister of Justice in Colombia and later a Vice President of Avianca Airlines, who was the only man to have ever testified against the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar.[7]

Anne Eisenhower was presented at the International Debutante Ball at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City in 1967.[8]

In the 1980s, Eisenhower married Wolfgang Flöttl, a hedge-fund manager.[9] Both were figures in the New York charity circuit. Eisenhower filed for divorce from Flöttl in 2018.[10]

In 2019 Eisenhower was living in Manhattan's Upper East Side. She sold the historic Southampton mansion, Claverack, for $35 million in 2010.[1]
