Donald Trump is the incumbent 45th President of the United States. He has an estimated net worth of $3.5 billion as of June 2017, according to Forbes.
Before he entered politics, Trump began his career in the real estate company of his father, Elizabeth Trump and Son. In 1971, he became the company’s president. As the head of the company, he renamed the company to The Trump Organization.
In 2003, Trump became the executive producer and host of the NBC reality show, The Apprentice, in which a group of competitors battled for a high-level management job in one of Trump’s commercial enterprises. The other contestants were successively “fired” and eliminated from the game. In 2004, he filed a trademark application for the catchphrase “You’re fired”.
For the first year of the show, Trump was paid $50,000 per episode (roughly $700,000 for the first season), but following the show’s initial success, he was reportedly earning $3 million per episode, making him one of the highest-paid TV personalities.
Donald Trump was considered a possible candidate for President of the United States in 2012 but it wasn’t until 2016 that President Trump actually defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to become the 45th President of the United States. His promise to “Make America Great Again” resonated with enough voters to secure an electoral college victory; though, Trump lost the “popular vote”. Trump’s fortune, net worth, taxes, and business ties remain a point of controversy in his presidency – often overshadowing his actual policies.
A man with many dreams: Trump said that he’d consider bailing out the New York Mets to help out his friend, Mets owner Fred Wilpon. The Donald promotes his golf courses through Golf Channel and is producing MTV’s new reality series Ladette to Lady. His name is emblazoned on alcohol, ties, even mattresses. But does the brand have value? Trump says it’s worth at least $10 billion.
Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York City, New York. He has five children; two sons and a daughter from his previous marriage to Ivana, a daughter with Marla, and one son with Melania.
