That was the total of the entire estate. Divide that by five children. Also, his mother was still alive, so she inherited most or control of the estate. Trump was already a multimillionaire when his father died. Worth much more than his father. So, nice try....but you fail with your class envy.

Actually the estate was estimated at $200 million dollars. Divided by five makes $40 million each, as I said. He also ran and invested the trust money himself - that's how he started with his own work And also as I said, in any event, $40 million is a lot of money - period. That's not class envy, it's a very simple fact which I have complete confidence is totally agreed upon by at least 6.9 billion people on this planet.

What is wrong with you, to contest these easily researched and obvious issues? Trump is a skilled and successful businessman, but he doesn't walk on water, and he doesn't have to - not even for you.

His father died when Trump was 50 years old and had already established numerous properties of his own. How do you figure that the inheritance was his start? He started his own company in Manhattan in 1971. His father died in 1999.
