The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

good morning lurkermom, if trump inherited 100-250 million and turned it into 7-10 billion, did he inherit it all ? Was the Teflon Don successful at anything over the decades?

Investment performance
A 2016 analysis of Trump's business career in The Economist concluded that his performance since 1985 had been "mediocre compared with the stock market and property in New York".[36] A subsequent analysis in The Washington Post similarly noted that Trump's estimated net worth of $100 million in 1978 would have increased to $6 billion by 2016 if he had invested it in a typical retirement fund, and concluded that "Trump is a mix of braggadocio, business failures, and real success."[37]

en.wikipedia.org - Wealth of Donald Trump

Donald Trump underperformed the stock market. He underperformed New York Real Estate. But he did manage to keep a little ahead of inflation, so there’s that.

Trump TajMahal: bankrupt
Trump Plaza Hotel: bankrupt
Trump Resorts & Casinos Resort: bankrupt
Trump Entertainment Resort: bankrupt
Trump Castle Hotel: bankrupt
Trump Shuttle: bankrupt
Trump University: bankrupt/fined millions of dollars for fraud
Trump Vodka: bankrupt
Trump Mortgages LLC: bankrupt

Trump Steaks: bankrupt
DC lawsuit for misuse of non-profit funds: settled for $750,000
Trump Truth Social:now on the runway, stock plummeting daily, about to massively dilute shareholders.

That’s my man! Maybe after the election he can get an endorsement deal with Coppertone for that “orange sun glow”?
