Donald Trump Bio: Life and Career


just call him the Donald today I’m very
proud of myself
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
taking a look at the life and career of
Donald Trump 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 for
example 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
