Lets say for the sake of argument that Donald Trump built his massive empire he has today, along with the millions and billions he has today--from scratch. I am pretty sure he did but Im not for sure so thats why I put that.
Good thing you said "for the sake of argument."

Just for your info, he didn't build his empire from scratch. His father had built a very profitable apartment renting company that I think was worth tens of million of dollars or maybe even $100M. I remember reading from a bio that they had thousands of apartment complexes all over New York City. What Donald did was take the helm of the business and dramatically expand the worth of the business by building skyscrapers inside Manhattan, something his father had avoided doing. Nevertheless, what Donald Trump did is still a great success story.
