Donald John Trump was born June 14 1946 in Queens New York after graduating from the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania with degree in economics.
Trump followed in his father's footsteps
by entering real estate Trump went to work for his father at the Trump Organization by 1971 he focused his energy on the world of Manhattan real estate as New York struggled through a financial crisis Trump capitalized and received generous tax breaks on his property purchases and he developed and renovated apartment and hotel complexes around the city one of his most striking triumphs was his renovation of the Grand Hyatt in downtown Manhattan it's remarkable architecture was a draw from the moment it opened in 1980 that same year he moved into the casino gambling business by acquiring property in
Atlantic City by 1982 Harrah's at Trump
Plaza had opened and by 86 Trump became the sole owner and renamed it Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino others followed and he finally opened the world's
biggest Hotel and Casino in 1990 the Taj
Mahal at Atlantic City back in New York
Trump Tower was finished in 1983 the
58th story apartment and retail complex
was located on Fifth Avenue next to Tiffany & Company and has stood as an
extravagant icon of the Donald success
since it opened he continued his development of Manhattan and bought the
Plaza Hotel in 1988 for 407 million dollars Trump's plans for the next year's worth warded by the recession and he came close to personal bankruptcy his net worth plunged to five hundred million from 1.7 billion the Trump Organization was also close to collapse but he rebuilt and by 1997 Trump was worth nearly 2 billion dollars he also teamed up with NBC around this time to buy the Miss Universe Organization and he took control of the Miss Universe Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants he kept up his high media profile in 2004 when he became executive producer and host of the NBC reality series The Apprentice while Trump first made himself famous because of his business dealings he has stayed in the public eye due to his sometimes outrageous personality forexample he is notorious for exaggerating his net assets I'm worth many billions of dollars and today few people agree how much money Trump is actually worth what's the difference between a wet raccoon and Donald J Trump's hair a wet raccoon doesn't have 7 billion dollars in the bank while he claims 7 billion dollars in assets more conservative
estimates approximate his worth to be anywhere between 2.4 billion and 150 million he is also often shared his opinions on politics and it has gotten him into high-profile feuds with fellow celebrities Donald Trump said recently has a great relationship with the blacks though unless the blacks are a family of white people I bet he's mistaken he has also had a very public ongoing dispute with comedian Rosie O'Donnell that started in 2006 probably I'll sue her because it would be fun I'd like to take some money out of her fat-ass pockets more recently Trump suggested he would enter the political sphere himself in 2010 he announced his interest in running as a Republican candidate for the US presidency during this time he caused even more controversy by becoming a leader in the birther movement that believed President Barack Obama was not born in the United States I am really honored frankly to have played such a big role in hopefully hopefully getting rid of this issue after making headlines he was drew from the campaign in 2011 over the years Trump has also made headlines with his high profile marriages and his weds three times many of his children helped run the Trump Organization in different capacities as famous for his hair as he is for his work Donald Trump is an American icon of business and a mainstay on the New York
City scene.
