Presidential candidate Donald Trump ranks 473rd on the list of the 500 richest men in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His successful business career has made him one of the most prominent real estate magnates in the United States. Throughout his life, he has been strongly linked to business, influenced by his father, Frederick Christ Trump, who stood out as one of the leading real estate entrepreneurs in the country.
Trump has achieved wealth through his company Trump Organization, despite ups and downs in his business journey. His foray into low-cost housing led him to diversify his interests into luxurious towers in Manhattan, with his first major success being the Commodore Hotel in 1976. The acquisition and construction of iconic properties like Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue have solidified his status in the sector.
In addition to his properties in various cities in the United States and abroad, Trump has generated a significant part of his fortune through licenses to use his name with other firms, thereby enhancing his brand globally. Despite facing accusations of discrimination in the past, Donald Trump has managed to capitalize on his business legacy and brand to create a vast empire that includes golf courses, hotels, residential lots, and media outlets.
In 1971, Trump inherited the family business Trump Organization, which focuses on real estate, hospitality, and golf courses. Among his numerous businesses are golf courses and resorts, hotels in the United States and abroad, residential lots in various countries, as well as media properties and luxury estates like Mar-A-Lago Club.
Recently, Donald Trump has returned to the Bloomberg billionaires index after a period of absence, thanks to the success of his media startup and his growing popularity in political betting. His fortune has increased to 6.5 billion dollars, positioning him once again among the richest men in the world. As the elections approach in November, his chances of winning have risen, reflecting a possible return to the White House for the real estate magnate.
