Our hero was lucky to be born into a wealthy family. But the prospect of a secure future did not spoil Donald - from childhood he watched his father's work and absorbed all the information.
An analytical mind and out-of-the-box thinking suggested: you need to deal not only with construction and real estate, but also invest interesting projects... Not every investment has proven its relevance, but it only taught Trump to go higher and higher.
Today, Donald is not only a talented businessman, investor and author of motivational books. As the forty-fifth president of the United States, he embodies the American Dream. And such an example is worthy of imitation.

Is Trump's fortune shrinking?
The Guardian says it is much lower than in previous years. How poorer is Donald Trump? The state for 2016 shows that he has said goodbye to 18% of his wealth. The reason was the costs of financing the campaign. The second factor was the fall in prices in the real estate market - the problem led to the fact that several Trump skyscrapers fell in price (Trump Tower was also on this list).
Head of state and business in one person
Donald Trump became the first-ever billionaire president of the United States. Now in these hands the well-being of an entire nation. The growth of his personal finances will be handled by his sons and Eric, in whose introduction the Trump Organization turned out to be.
The guys promised that their father would completely withdraw from the management of the companies, but so far this question remains open. Eric Trump admitted that Donald will still get to know financial results business (the phrase sounded: “ Probably quarterly "). Such data are presented on Trump's official Forbes.com profile at the end of March 2017. The future will prove the reality of such promises.
Donald Trump is a billionaire, entrepreneur and most recently President of the United States of America. This personality is of interest to all journalists and politicians in the world. Almost everyone wants to know how Donald Trump will build his political career. The biography of this extraordinary person is filled with ups and downs, in which his character was tempered. His rise to the political Olympus turned out to be swift and unexpected, but, be that as it may, the fate of the American people now depends on him.
Donald Trump: biography briefly
The future president of the United States of America was born in June 1946. His family has German-Scottish roots, although Donald himself considers himself a native New Yorker. His father was a talented entrepreneur and, at the age of twenty-five, owned his own construction company. Business went uphill, and the son of Fred Christ Trump did not need anything from early childhood.
The boy was distinguished by an unbearable character and at the age of thirteen he was sent to the military academy. In 1968, Trump received a bachelor's degree in economics and entered his father's business. From the first days of his work, he showed himself as a talented entrepreneur and managed to complete several projects, bringing the company a double profit.
Donald Trump became interested in real estate and actively developed the family business. For twenty years, he managed to increase the fortune received from his father several times. He won a tender for the improvement of Manhattan, built luxury residential complexes and casinos.
But by the early nineties, Trump was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to save his company from final ruin for seven years. In parallel, the future US president was building a career in television, was the owner of a beauty pageant and took his first steps in politics. It is known that during the presidential race in the year 2000 from the Reform Party, Donald Trump was the main candidate. Even then, the United States could get a talented businessman for the presidency, but suddenly he withdrew his candidacy from the elections and promised that he would return to this issue later.
And he kept his promise - on November 8 last year, Trump became the forty-fifth president of the United States of America. An interesting fact is that until now Donald Trump, whose biography is known to almost any American, does not hide his personal life from the media. He was always ready to give interviews, shock the audience and led the lifestyle that he liked. This is how the people saw Donald Trump. The personal life of a businessman has always become public knowledge. And even now, the US President is not trying to hide anything from journalists, although many politicians believe that this is absolutely unacceptable for the first person of the state. But, as usual, Trump pays absolutely no attention to these little things.
Donald Trump: family
Trump has always spoken of his family with great respect. His mother came to America in 1930 from Scotland. She was a modest girl from a poor family. Almost immediately she met Fred Trump, at that time he was twenty-five years old. He was the owner of a rather successful construction company and planned to develop actively in the near future.
The couple met for six years, and only after checking their feelings, they were married. Immediately, the Trump family bought a cozy cottage in an elite area of New York, and Mary began to equip it with enthusiasm. The Trump couple had five children, Donald turned out to be the fourth child in the family.
Childhood and adolescence of the forty-fifth president of the United States of America
Many relatives noted that he was remarkably similar to his father. Donald was distinguished by rigidity, determination and assertiveness. He always achieved his goal and was often ahead of his older brothers in many ways. Mary and Fred never had a more naughty child than Donald Trump. The family tried to cope with the boy, but by the age of thirteen he completely got out of hand and practically abandoned his studies. The teenager's father accepted the only thing the right decision- he sent his son to the New York Military Academy.
Donald's studies were unexpectedly beneficial. He began to delight his parents with success, became addicted to baseball and constantly received various awards. Suddenly, from a tomboy, the young man turned into the pride of the family and an example for the rest of the children. In 1964, Donald successfully completed his studies and faced a serious choice of his future path in life.
University studies
Trump has repeatedly admitted to reporters that he dreamed of working in films. But sober calculation did not allow him to enter the film academy, and he applied to Fordham University. It was then that Donald became interested in real estate and decided to make this industry a matter of his future life.
Trump studied at university for only two years, which seemed to him quite enough to understand that he wanted to specialize in finance and investment. He quickly transferred to Wharton Business School, from which he graduated brilliantly in the early sixties of the last century.
First steps in business
By the time Trump joined her father's company, she was already a leader in real estate in America. But Donald himself was confident that he could make his family even richer and more successful.
Immediately, he took up a middle-class housing project. The apartments were sold pretty quickly, and Trump was able to get six million dollars in net profit. This amount was twice the cost of construction. Such a successful start inspired the young businessman.
He began to actively make connections. Trump believed that only communication with the mighty of this world could help him build a successful career. Around this time period, he had a small office in Manhattan, where he was located almost around the clock.
In the seventies of the last century, Trump managed to win a tender for the reconstruction of a large hotel in Manhattan, as well as the surrounding areas. In addition, the company received tax breaks for forty years. Trump took out a loan for several tens of millions of dollars for the reconstruction. For six years, the obligations to the city were fully fulfilled, and the talented businessman replenished his fortune with more than one hundred million dollars.
Trump's heyday
In the seventies of the last century, Donald Trump's business went up the hill by leaps and bounds. The entrepreneur bought a plot of land in a prestigious area of New York and began construction of his most ambitious project at the time - the Trump Tower residential complex. Apartments on fifty-eight floors were sold out at lightning speed, and the businessman received two hundred million dollars in net profit.
At the same time, Trump became interested in the hotel business and casinos. Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, Trump's Castle and Taj Mahal appeared one after another. The latter complex has become the world's largest hotel-casino.
In the early nineties, every American already knew who an entrepreneur Donald Trump was. The biography of a talented businessman was replenished with one very important event - his fortune reached the mark of one billion dollars. The company grew to incredible proportions, with Trump owning an airline, a soccer team, and a host of small non-construction firms. Over time, this very fact played a rather sad role in the life of the future president.
Balancing on the brink of bankruptcy
In the mid-nineties of the last century, Donald Trump was in a very difficult financial situation, he and his companies were on the brink of bankruptcy. This was primarily due to the sudden outbreak of the real estate crisis, in addition, most of Trump's new projects were financed from borrowed funds. As a result, his debts reached nearly $ 9 billion.
Surprisingly, the entrepreneur did not give up, and in just six years he paid off huge debts. Already at the beginning of the year 2000, Donald Trump began to implement new projects with Asian investors.
In 2008, the entrepreneur's business was overtaken by a new financial crisis, Trump had to declare himself bankrupt, and a year later he decided to leave the board of directors of his company in order to find himself in another field of activity.
Trump: TV presenter career
For Donald Trump, who has always loved crowds and public speaking, the TV presenter's career seemed very tempting. And he organized a show where candidates were competing on the air for a managerial position in the billionaire's company. In just a few years, the ratings of the program began to break all records, and the cost of one episode was measured in seven figures.
In parallel, Trump began organizing beauty contests and even took part in the popular Larry King show. Ten years ago, he received his star on the Walk of Fame, which he is still very proud of.
Political career: stages of a long journey
Trump has been torn into politics since the eighties of the last century. He even ran for the presidency of the country, but even before the main battle withdrew his candidacy. The main problem of the billionaire was the fact that he could not decide on the choice political party... But already eight years ago, the businessman joined the Republicans. It was from them that he was nominated for president during the last election race.
It is worth noting that to many Americans, Donald Trump as President of the United States did not seem to be the most the best option... But he was always open, confident in himself and knew how to express himself in such a way that the people understood him perfectly. They especially listened to the words of Trump in the field of economic development of the country, he suggested during the election race good program, which would contribute to the early exit of the country from the economic crisis.
Few believed that Trump would be able to bypass his rival Hillary Clinton. As a result, the incredible happened - for the first time in American history, a person was appointed to the post of president who does not understand anything in politics, but does an excellent business.
Donald Trump - 45th President of America
Now the whole world froze in anticipation of how the new owner of the White House will build his policy. Many analysts believe that the age of the president plays an important role in this issue. How old is Donald Trump? Not enough - the head of the Oval Office turned seventy years old, and he should have long ago moved away from risky decisions and spontaneous actions. But, unfortunately, no one has yet seen clarity in the president's foreign and domestic policy. Most of all, journalists and politicians are worried about what Donald Trump says about Russia. After all, the foreign policy situation in the world depends on whether the two powers will be able to establish cooperation. So far, no serious conversation has taken place between the Kremlin and the White House, which would clarify the situation. But all political analysts hope Trump will keep his promise and build a dialogue with Russia.
Donald Trump was inaugurated on January 20th. This solemn event was met with controversy by the Americans. People took to the streets of large cities with slogans and protests, many did not accept Trump as their president. The unrest was accompanied by shouts about the annulment of the election results and the recognition of the winner of Hillary Clinton, who was considered the main contender for the main post in the country. Until now, three months after being sworn in, not all Americans have accepted their president. It is worth noting that this is the first time this state of affairs is taking shape in America. Never before has a presidential election been so turbulent and unpredictable.
Donald Trump's personal life
Many Russians, admiring the first lady, are interested in how old Donald Trump is. After all, the beauty Melania is an example of style and femininity. But do not forget that the current president of America was married three times, and each of his women is the quintessence of beauty, restraint and charm.
Donald Trump's first wife was a Czechoslovak skier. Ivana Zelnichkova married Trump back in 1977, their marriage lasted fifteen years. During this time, Ivana gave birth to her husband three children. Both the wife and children of Donald Trump held important leadership positions in his company. And favorite Ivanka is now the right hand of her father in the White House.
Donald Trump's second wife, Marla Maples, was a successful producer and actress. In six years of marriage, Trump's wife gave birth to a daughter. However, she could hardly bear the constant delays of her husband at work, and the couple decided to divorce by mutual agreement.
In 2005, Donald married Melania Knaus, former model, which became the muse of the entrepreneur and his main support. A year later, the Trump couple had a son who became his father's favorite.
All of Donald Trump's children maintain an excellent relationship with their father and support him in everything. During the presidential race, the billionaire's three eldest offspring actually headed his election campaign, and now they continue to hang out with their father in the White House. The press says that Trump gave many important posts in the government to his family members, America has never seen such an approach to forming a government. Ivanka Trump is considered her father's most important adviser, and it is to her that Syria owes the attack on its cities. Many members of the president's family tell the press that Ivanka's influence on Trump is almost limitless. He is ready to do almost anything she asks him to do. So politicians have fears that the power in the country will fall into the tenacious hands of a charming blonde. After all, the first lady is often called not Melania Trump, but Ivanka. Whether this is so, only time will tell.
Of course, so far no one can say how successful Trump's presidency will be. His policies are not yet clear-cut, and his early actions are a bit chaotic. But many predict America a sad fate, because at the helm of the country there is a man who knows how to make money, and not weave intrigues and flexibly play a political game.

Childhood
In 1930, 18-year-old Scottish village native Mary MacLeod came to New York on vacation. There, fate brought her together with 25-year-old Fred Trump, the son of German immigrants, who at such a young age already owned his own construction company. 
In 1936, the couple got married; the couple bought a cottage in the respectable area of Queens, the father of the family continued to engage in the construction business, and Mary devoted herself entirely to motherhood. Donald Trump was the fourth child in the family, but, having inherited a tough and assertive character from his father, he was not going to get used to the role of his younger brother. Neither parents nor school teachers could cope with the intolerable Donald, so at the age of 13 the boy was presented with a fact: he was sent to the New York Military Academy.
As a cadet, Trump proved to be a disciplined student who boasted both good grades and high social adaptation skills and athletic success. Parents could not get enough of their son, who abruptly took up his mind, and even began to set him up as an example to other children.
First steps towards success
In 1964, Trump graduated brilliantly from the military academy and entered Fordham University. After studying there for 4 semesters, he transferred to Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1968, he received a bachelor's degree in economics, after which his father took his son into the family business. Donald became seriously interested in real estate, hoped in the future to become the heir to the Trump construction empire and multiply his father's fortune. 
The first project entrusted to Donald was the grandiose residential complex Swifton Village in Ohio, designed for 1,200 apartments for the "middle class". Under the leadership of the younger Trump, the company managed to complete the project within a year, spending $ 6 million on construction and $ 12 million from the sale of apartments.
Double income is more than a great career start, but Trump was not going to stop there. The construction of apartments in Ohio was sponsored by the state, but Donald understood that for financial support for more serious projects it is worth turning not to government organizations, but to the powers that be: bankers, top managers, oil tycoons. In 1971, Donald rented an apartment in the heart of New York - on the island of Manhattan. Here, his circle of acquaintances quickly expanded with influential people.
Formation of an empire
In 1974, Trump, with the help of new connections, won a tender to restore the dilapidated Commodore Hotel. Since many buildings near the hotel were also in a deplorable state and needed a financial injection, as, indeed, the city itself, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, Donald managed to get tax breaks from the mayor's office for a period of 40 years. Moreover, the largest banks in New York gave him a mortgage loan totaling $ 70 million. There was only one condition - Trump had to put the area in order. 
Donald's firm got down to business, and six years later, Manhattan residents were able to contemplate the 25-story glass and steel monolith that replaced the dull yellow building, surrounded by new, functional and comfortable neighborhoods. Much later, in October 1996, one of the largest hotel chains, Hyatt, bought half of the rights to the hotel, increasing Trump's fortune by $ 142 million.
In 1979, Donald laid eyes on a plot of land on 5th Avenue, opposite the Tiffany & Co jewelry store. When the businessman was asked what made him buy this particular place, he replied: "The wealthiest people in New York are always running at Tiffany's shops." By 1983, a 58-story Trump Tower skyscraper had grown on this site, surpassing all city buildings in height.
The house instantly gained fame as an elite complex: the windows of the apartments overlooked Central Park, a series of boutiques and restaurants were located below, the floor was tiled with pink marble, and a three-meter fountain was gushing in the lobby. All apartments were bought up within a few months, and Trump became richer by $ 200 million.
When gambling was legalized in New Jersey in 1977, Trump realized he had a tidbit in front of him that should never be overlooked. In 1980, he acquired a piece of land in Atlantic City, entrusting his brother Robert with a gambling license. In 1982, the grandiose Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino was opened at a cost of $ 250 million. In 1986, Donald bought the city hotel of the Hilton chain and erected in its place the $ 320 million Trump's Castle. In parallel, he began construction of the world's largest hotel-casino, the Taj Mahal, which opened its doors to visitors in 1990.
On the verge of bankruptcy
By the early 90s, Donald's fortune was estimated at $ 1 billion. In addition to a chain of hotels, casinos and luxury residential skyscrapers, Trump's empire included the Trump Shuttle Airline, the New Jersey Generals football team and a myriad of small businesses that Donald himself lost account of. Gradually, he began to lose control over the business that had grown to an incredible scale. 
New projects were financed with borrowed funds, which was quite risky. Trump's creditors were large banks and investment companies: Citicorp, Merrill Lynch, Chase Manhattan. The businessman's debts were growing rapidly, the threat of bankruptcy was aggravated by the impending crisis in the real estate sector. In the early 90s, debts to creditors reached $ 9.8 billion, of which $ 900 million Trump had to pay out of his own pocket. On the verge of bankruptcy, the businessman was forced to lay the Trump Tower skyscraper. The press added fuel to the fire, criticizing Donald's every move.
Thanks to his innate tenacity, Donald managed to get out of the debt hole. Income from the gambling business covered most of the debts; by 1997, the tycoon had fully paid off debts and began work on new projects. In 2001, Trump's company, together with the Korean company Daewoo, completed the construction of the 72-story Trump World Tower. The 262-meter skyscraper has grown exactly opposite the UN headquarters in Manhattan.
The 2008 financial crisis was another shock to Trump's construction empire. Due to falling sales, he was unable to pay off the 40 million loan on time. Although the billionaire could easily pay off the debt from his own funds, he filed for bankruptcy, claiming that the crisis was force majeure. On February 17, 2009, Trump announced the decision to leave the Board of Directors of his own company.
TV appearances
In 2002, Trump launched the prime-time reality show The Candidate. The participants had to compete among themselves for the right to become a top manager in Trump's company. The unlucky contestants were awaited by the businessman's proprietary phrase: "You are fired!" (in 2004 he even applied for registration brand"You are fired!"). For each episode of the first season, Donald received about $ 50 thousand, but with the beginning of the second season, the cost of one episode increased to $ 3 million - so Trump became one of the highest paid presenters on television. 
In 2006, Trump, together with NBC, bought out the Miss Universe Organization, which was organizing the Miss Universe and Miss America beauty pageants.
The construction magnate also appeared with cameos in several films and TV series, for example, in the comedy "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York", he explained to young Macaulay Culkin how to get to the hall.
Cameo of Donald Trump in the movie "Home Alone 2"
In 2007, Trump got his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which the businessman received for creating the reality show The Candidate.
In October of the same year, Donald was invited to Larry King's studio, where he sharply walked foreign policy George W. Bush and Angelina Jolie's appearance. Many remembered other words spoken on the evening air: then Trump said that on next elections will certainly support Rudolph Giuliani and Hillary Clinton if they run for president. He was recalled this speech in 2013, when Trump was again visiting the host.

Donald Trump's political career. Most influential Republican
Trump was predicted to become the president of the United States since the 80s, but at that time the arrow of Donald's political compass was constantly darting between the right and left poles. By 2009, he more or less defined his own views and joined the Republican Party. They tried to nominate an outstanding economist and manager Donald to run in the presidential elections back in 2011, but the businessman said that he was not ready to leave the private sector. 
On June 16, 2015, Trump let the people of the United States know that he had changed his mind by announcing his readiness to fight for the presidency. Trump's presidential campaign was rigorously thought out: first, he visited the state of New Hampshire, traditionally considered a stronghold of the Republicans, then toured Nevada and California, states that had previously received a solid financial infusion from Donald. Also, Trump has repeatedly held rallies in his support to entertain the electorate.
Trump's popularity was influenced by his character: the newly minted politician is used to speaking openly, not veiling his speech with euphemisms. Because of this feature, he gained fame as an eccentric truth-teller.
Trump's campaign messages focused on the following areas of American society: immigration, health care, economics and domestic politics... The Republican was extremely cold about the people of Mexico and the Middle East. If he won the election, Trump threatened to build an analogue of the Great Wall of China on the border with Mexico. Trump has also advocated the immediate elimination of the ISIS armed forces on many occasions.
Donald Trump accuses Democrats of creating ISIS
Donald demanded the cancellation of Barack Obama's medical program, saying that its provision is too expensive for the state, and that he would easily find more effective and cheaper methods for taxpayers.
In the economic sector, even the Democrats listened to the billionaire; he argued about the need to return production to the United States by increasing duties on goods American companies made overseas, and also argued for the need for a trade war with China.
Donald Trump's scandalous video featuring Vladimir Putin
In more detail, he outlined his point of view in the book "Maimed America", published in 2015.
According to Forbes magazine, in 2016, Donald Trump's fortune crossed the $ 4 billion mark. It continued to grow, including through real estate licensing - developers themselves paid Trump to build and sell new projects on his behalf.
In March 2016, Donald Trump was named the most likely Republican presidential candidate, predicting that he would face Hillary Clinton in the final round of elections.
In Russia, Trump's nomination for the presidency was greeted warmly, as the billionaire has publicly promised more than once to improve relations with the Kremlin.
Donald Trump's personal life
Donald Trump has been married several times. His first wife is the Czechoslovak model Ivan Zelnichkov. They got married in 1977. In the same year, Trump's first-born Donald Jr.was born, four years later the businessman became the father of Ivanka Trump. Donald Trump and Marla Maples wedding, 1993In early 2005, Donald married another model from Eastern Europe - 34-year-old Melanie Knauss. Trump's third wife was from Slovenia, she shone on the pages of glossy magazines, she did not hesitate to act in a very frank manner. Trump and Melanie's wedding made the list of the most expensive nuptials with a budget of $ 45 million. In 2006, their common son, Barron William Trump, was born.
Donald Trump now
The election results for the 45th President of the United States were unpredictable. A month before the final day, both candidates received a good portion of "black PR". Clinton was involved in a scandal involving the FBI, Trump was accused of sexual harassment. The victory was confidently predicted by Clinton, especially after the third, final debate. However, the results surprised everyone - Trump effortlessly bypassed his rival, gaining 306 electoral votes out of 270 necessary to win, thereby securing a seat in the Oval Office of the White House. 
On December 19, 2016, the electoral college confirmed the election results, giving 304 votes to Trump. Only two electors abandoned the original decision.
Donald Trump Inauguration Full Video
The inauguration of the President took place on January 20, 2017. During his inaugural speech, Trump called for "bridging the split between the ruling elite, the corrupt establishment and the American society," radically change the labor market by expelling all illegal migrants from the country, leave political blocs that are disadvantageous to the United States, reach an understanding with Russia, transfer all resources for the good of the country and destroy Islamist terrorists.
Right hand Trump became Republican Michael Pence. Five days after taking office, Trump ordered the construction of a single wall on the border with Mexico to begin. At the same time, the president hoped that all the expenses for its construction - $ 12 billion - would be paid by their hardworking neighbor.
According to the Forbes annual ranking of dollar billionaires, Donald Trump's fortune has decreased by about $ 400 million and amounted to $ 3.1 billion during the year in office of the President of the United States. What caused this drop? Part of the blame can be attributed to the real estate market, the prices of which, for example, in New York fell. But the odiousness of the US president himself also played a role.
The explosive growth of e-commerce has significantly reduced the value of properties such as Trump Tower, a skyscraper located in the Mecca of shopaholics on 5th Avenue in New York. Forbes estimates that the most iconic building built by Trump's company fell by $ 41 million last year. Just around the corner, at the intersection of 6th Avenue and 57th Street, there is another building owned by Trump - its value has decreased even more. Nike company, for a long time the former tenant of the facility, announced that due to market difficulties, it will move its flagship store to a new location this spring. Now The Trump Organization will need to find a new tenant for the building, which is approximately 6,000 square meters. “I don’t know of any tenants other than department stores that need this much space,” says real estate agent Eric Anton, who works with real estate in Manhattan. - I don't think any of them are in this moment are expanding. "
The value of the golf clubs owned by the President of the United States has not declined as much due to changes in the market. The political situation in the country and in the world is another matter. Trump's three largest golf clubs are located in the states in which he won the presidential election. Their income is more than 5% higher than that of other golf clubs. In the states where Trump lost to Hillary Clinton, everything is exactly the opposite: in the states of the Northwest and Los Angeles, golf club revenues fell by 4%. Their revenues also fell in Scotland, where the President of the United States owns two golf clubs.
The Trump Organization's value fell by about $ 50 million last year, as Trump's "brand" is increasingly fading in Toronto and New York, where the president's name has been removed from hotel names. In Panama last week, workers removed a sign with the president's name from a third building.
Shortly before Donald Trump became president of the United States, his lawyer promised that The Trump Organization would no longer conduct deals abroad, thereby eliminating another potential development opportunity. Months later, The Trump Organization announced plans to open hotels under the new Scion brand and to partner with American Idea. So far, only four deals have been announced. “I think this task is not possible,” one hospitality expert told Forbes.
But there are also positive aspects. The office market in Lower Manhattan is doing much better than in downtown. Thanks to this, the value of Trump's most expensive real estate, the skyscraper at 40 Wall Street, soared by about $ 32 million.
Real estate tycoon Stephen Roth can help the president grow his fortune like no other. As CEO of the publicly traded company Vornado Realty Trust, Stephen Roth manages buildings at 1290 Avenue of the Americas in New York and 555 California Street in San Francisco. Both properties are owned by Trump - his share is 30%. Profits from a building in New York are up about 15%, and the real estate market in San Francisco is also doing well. As a result, the cost of Trump's stake in both skyscrapers is $ 71 million.
Forbes reporters have also obtained additional information that raises the value of some of Trump's assets, but at the same time reduces the value of others. For example, President Trump paid off a debt for the Niketown skyscraper, and apparently received an additional $ 45 million in a loan for his hotel in the US capital, Washington, DC.
Today, the size of Donald Trump's fortune is $ 3.1 billion. This figure is very far from the $ 10 billion that the president once claimed he possesses. However, Donald Trump is still the richest U.S. president in history.
