He wears a funny hairstyle, from which he also managed to make a mini-brand and Internet mama.

A separate aspect that brings him fame is his luxurious lifestyle. Trump's personal residence is the 3 upper floor of the Trump Tower with a total area of ​​around 3000 square. meters, finished with bronze, gold and marble. The cost of this magnificence - not less than $ 50 million.

How rich is he?

In the magazine's rating Forbes in 2015, Trump’s fortune was estimated at $4,1 billion (133rd place in the US ranking). At the same time, in 2015, he himself estimated his fortune at $10 billion, although no one was able to verify this - the businessman refuses to make his income declaration public. He owns numerous real estate, including hotels and casinos.

How did it all begin?

Trump has a bachelor's degree in economics in financial management. He began his career in the company of his father, who was engaged in renting houses for the middle class. One of the first projects that he implemented while he was still in college was the modernization of the pledged 1200-apartment complex in Cincinnati, Ohio. 66% of apartments were listed as not rented out in this complex, and thanks to his project Trump passed 100% during the year. When the Trump Organization sold the complex for $ 12 million, the company received $ 6 million in net profit, the site says Trump Organization.

In 1971, Trump moved to Manhattan, where he began to implement his construction projects. In 1974, Trump acquired one of the Commodore hotels, which was in disrepair. He later signed an agreement with Hyatt Hotel Corporation. The reconstructed The Grand Hyatt has become very popular.

But Trump’s greatest fame was the construction of the 58-storeyed Trump Tower skyscraper on 5 Avenue, which was opened in 1982 year. Since then, many projects of the businessman bore his name - Trump Palace, The Trump Plaza, The Trump World Tower, The Trump International Hotel and The Tower, The Trump Building and others.

His business developed rapidly, bringing new revenues and expanding the field of vision of a businessman. But it was not always rosy.

ForumDaily gathered some obscure facts about her.

Forced Trump to marry himself, the billionaire doubted to the last

In an interview with the publication “Boulevard”Ukrainian model Alexandra Nikolaenko, who has a close relationship with the Trump family, told some details about how Donald decided on Melania's proposal.

“About a year ago (in 2004), Melania gave him a choice. “Either get married,” she said, “or I’m leaving.” And Donald realized that he would have to make a formal proposal. Of course he was nervous. He was probably thinking about how his family life would turn out this time, because very often love destroys marriage. And with the existing system of marriage contracts, he risks a lot with his fortune.

The day before the wedding, we came to visit Donald. In the purpose-built wedding hall, almost everything was ready for the holiday. The attendants brought the final touches to the decoration: arranged the tables, hung out garlands of flowers.

Donald took us - me and several other people - to look at all this beauty, and Melania, tired of the troubles, clarified some details and ran off to bed. When she left, Donald suddenly asked me: “Isn’t she a beautiful girl? Am I doing the right thing?!” said Nikolaenko.

In the event of a divorce, Melania will receive an 17% Trump property

According to the Ukrainian beauty queen, Melania signed a very good contract by American standards: everything that Donald owns is divided into equal parts between 5 children and Melanya, that is, each of them will receive 17% of the building magnate’s status.

I was afraid that journalists would jinx their wedding, but at the same time invited Trump's previous wives to the celebration

“Both Ivan and Marla Melanya invited to the wedding, but they refused, citing employment,” Nikolaenko said.

She added that Melanya was worried about the excessive press attention to their wedding.

“Melania was even afraid not to jinx it. And I understood: a wedding, for which almost the whole world is watching, is a difficult burden and a big responsibility. People notice absolutely everything - from invitation cards to wedding rings and wedding gifts, ”Nikolayenko said.

Enjoys a golden bath

The couple lives in the “Mar-a-Lago” mansion for a long time, in which everything is equipped in a classic style with incredible luxury. According to Nikolayenko, there are many items of pure gold - candlesticks, chandeliers, faucets, washstands. But the main attraction of the estate is the bathroom, in which everything is made of pure gold. Most of the mansion was furnished by Trump's first wife, Ivana. Now the golden bathroom belongs to Melanie.

Served at the convention in a wedding dress

Milk dress brand Roksanda, in which Trump's wife spoke at the Republican congress, many liked it - it seemed to fit the occasion perfectly. It was created by designer Roxande Ilinčić, a Serbian by birth, born in Belgrade (Slovenia) - a compatriot of Melania.
