We finally know a lot more about Donald Trump's 'massive' net worth
Business Insider ^ | 07/25/2015 | Brett LoGiurato

The world learned much about real-estate mogul Donald Trump's wealth this week, as the Federal Election Commission released a 92-page personal-financial-disclosure report filed by the Republican presidential candidate as part of his nascent campaign.

Trump's campaign released a statement on July 15, when he filed disclosure with the FEC, saying it would reveal a "massive" net worth "in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS." The report still does not completely detail Trump's fortune, as it deals mostly with ranges.

"For instance, they have boxes once a certain number is reached that simply state $50 million or more. Many of these boxes have been checked. As an example, if a building owned by Mr. Trump is worth $1.5 billion, the box checked is '$50,000,000 or more,'" the campaign's statement said.

The day of his campaign-launch speech last month, Trump released a one-page report that described his net worth as being approximately $8.7 billion. His campaign said upon filing the disclosure that his net worth has actually increased over the past year.

So, he has an interest-bearing check account at Signature, that holds as little as $100,000, while generating $50,001 in interest? Can he really have a gem deal like this, a checking account bearing 50% interest?

YES! But, only if it is managed by Bernard Madoff

Even Madoff did not promise 50% return.

The way I understood it, he promised a MINIMUM of 8% even if markets go south.

Something wrong with the above financial statement. An explanation is in order which requires an interviewer to bring it up.

It's my understanding that Hillary's commodity futures broker not only promised significant returns, but delivered 1587%.

invested $6300, $100,000 return.

I LOVE THIS STORY: Entertainer Merv Griffin handed Trump millions...b/c he never heard of “Art of The Deal.”

Merv invented game shows and made tons of money selling them to big companies. But he wanted to diversify-—and was salivating for an A/C casino. He approached Donald who owned several A/C casinos.

The dickering began-—but Merv was at the mercy of The Donald...only Merv had no clue.....he just HAD to have a casino.

Merv admitted in his autobio that he ended up paying Donald millions more than the casiono was worth. Donald.... being a gentleman... never mentioned how Merv got snookered.

Merv never could master being a real estate mogul....s designer spa in Cali he invested in also flopped.

Merv also had an elegantly appointed Cali ranch that burnt to the ground.
