He Keeps His Name Alive in His Buildings
Donald Trump, who ranks 228th on the Forbes’ list of richest people with a personal fortune of $ 2.7 billion today, started his father's real estate business in the 1970s. Rising in the 1980s and returning from the brink of bankruptcy in the early 90s, Trump's signature buildings are among the most prestigious buildings in the world today. Fifth Avenue Skyscraper, Trump Tower, Trump Tower, Trump Parc, Trump Palace, Trump Plaza are the most prominent ones that come to mind. Trump is remembered as much for his media personality as for the buildings bearing his signature. Trump, who made a name for himself from the $15 million alimony he paid for his divorce from his wife Ivana Trump in 1992 to his hairstyle, reinforced his fame with the television programme The Apprentice. Trump, whose children chose the father's profession like him, finally came to the agenda with the $5 billion compensation lawsuit he filed against Timothy O'Brien, who wrote "He is not a billionaire, he only has $250 million", and the publisher of the book.
