His father employed him as an assistant in every money-making venture he ever played a part in, then died and left him $200 million in government subsidized apartments.
Trump has never made a cent in real estate on his own. His only two real estate ventures not done with his father were the Plaza Hotel and Atlantic city. For a Google giggle, search on "Trump, Plaza Hotel" and follow through. He was like a kid in a candy store, paid too much for everything, and ended up losing the hotel, his yacht, his airline, and most of his inherited money. Atlantic City I assume you know about. Total grifter. Only his youth, his father's political connections, and general sympathy spared him from personal bankruptcy.
He didn't build any empire. He inherited an empire, and he turned it into part shares in a few buildings here and there. He's not even on any Top Ten list of Manhattan developers. Luckily his daughter married real real estate money.
He loses money running golf courses, and he loses money at every bit or retail and branding he tries on his own. There's a good chance the "Trump University" fraud will break him entirely.
The only money he has ever made has been on TV. He plays the part of a loud, pushy, imitation wannabe businessman. Easy job: he's just playing himself.
Cheers,
