Donald Trump (born Donald John Trump on June 14, 2024 in New York City) amassed his wealth (estimated at close to $3,000,000,000) through real estate development.
Schooled at Fordham University in NYC, and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Trump went back to NYC after earning his Economics degree, and began working for his father's real estate company (The Trump Organization).
He managed to transform the bankrupt Commodore Hotel into the Grand Hyatt, creating his first huge success.
Since then he's gone on to create the Trump Tower (valued at some $288,000,000), Trump World Tower (valued at around $290,000,000), and a collection of resort casinos, and golf courses across the U.S. and Scotland.
Trump has recently come out in support of Mitt Romney for President of the United States, but is being criticized by many for bringing back the previously disproven "birther" arguments against President Barack Obama.
