 Donald Trump is the person who can boast with everything and
the wealth of him is not the exception. His wealth is rated as three billion
dollars by the Forbes. In his life he found himself at the edge of the
bankruptcy for several times though later he managed to return all the fortune
and top listings. He is the author to more than a dozen of bestsellers on the
subject of popular «How To Earn millions». Donald John Trump is the flamboyant
and the unique standard of the American dream.
Billionaire from the craddle
Trump always states that he thinks as the billionaire from the
cradle. And he thinks he is successful because if it. His father, Fred Trump, born
to the family of poor Sweden immigrants, managed to earn the fortune around 20 million
dollars at the American market of real estate.
The father’s wealth inherited by Donald was like a strong
triggering point for him and he concluded his first transaction in 1974 when he
bought an old hotel Commodore in New York for a song. Later he was permitted
tax determent by the government authority for forty years and acquired the bank
credits for the total amount of seventy million US dollars. The top management
of the Hyatt Corporation Company was persuaded by Trump to let the brand name
to the new hotel. And in the soonest time the luxury hotel named Grand Hyatt was
erected instead of the old Commodore.
Donald Trump proceeded to buy up of the land property in
Atlantic City (New Jersey State) long before the legalization of the gambling
industry. He launched the construction of the elite dwelling Trump Tower in the
core of New York, by the Tiffany Boutique and he managed that through winning
the legal proceeding with the municipal authority which was not willing to
allow tax privileges to Trump once again. And that was like a signal for Trump
to elaborate the personal strategy: «Struggle until you win».
Ability to fail
Trump was triumphant in business activity as nobody else
before and any of his commercial projects was successful and profitable. There were
times when the plutocrat when asked «How are you?» replied arrogantly: «I am
fine to be Donald».
He was accredited in many backs to launch his projects. Both
Trump and his creditors believed that his success gradually moved to the
chronic stage. The vigilance was decreased from both sides and Donald Trump did
not bother himself to provide thorough estimates of efficacy of his
transactions hoping for fatal success and luck. When the crisis in the segment
of real estate occurred in the United States by 1990, Trump was the owner of
the network of casinos in Atlantic City, the air line, the spirit brand, the
luxury yacht Trump Princess, a line of golf clubs, he also sponsored the
football team New Jersey Generals and as involved in lots of objects in the
segment of building construction.
Trump missed the time when his debt grew to be of 9,8 billion
dollars and he had to pay the fortune. His divorce with the Czech supermodel and
downhill skier Ivana Trump hit his pockets.
Nevertheless, Donald managed to overcome the crisis and the
collaboration with the financier Stephen F. Bollenbach played into his hands. Stephen
was hired as the financial director for Donald. Banks agreed to restructure
debts by Trump and granted moratorium for him. As a result, Donald Trump lost
most of his assets though he kept his reputation and good name which is more
significant for him, in his own words. New York appeared to be the pilot site
for the creative projects of Donald and commercial ambitions. The skyscrapers named
after him are erected as soon as the wind. The architectural towers constructed
by his personal projects include Trump Palace, Trump Plaza, Trump World Tower,
Tramp Park Avenue and the list is not limited.

popularity. In 2003, Trump became the host to the NBC reality show, The
Apprentice, where a team of competitors battled for a high-level management job
in one of Trump's commercial enterprises with the annual salary of two hundred
fifty thousand US dollars. Donald Trump allowed the participants managing this
or that department of his enterprises. The one who failed to take a correct
managerial decision was immediately fired by Trump on air. Though, incidents
happened also at the show. So, once a team of reality show competitors was
permitted to manage the casino and managed to earn more profit that the
professional managers officially hired.

millionaires. However, his writing desire was not honestly the willing to share
