That all used to be the norm; though some very wealthy people did spoil their nasty kids. Usually though, it took the third or fourth generation to muck it all up.

Now? Everything moves faster and garbage makes vast amounts of money, but don't know how to handle it or their rotten kids. :-(

Yes, that decor is not to my taste, but you can tell that it all cost a great deal of money. A famous decorator did it, but I bet that Melania had the first and last word about it all.

Ivanka's apartment is minimalistic ( also not my taste ), but extremely well done.

Yes, he did earn it and taught his kids, as his father taught him, what hard work is all about. And I bet that his kids are raising their children the same way. And THAT really is what keeps them all grounded and "normal" and like us...who aren't billionaires. :-)

I love the gotcha question, that didn’t work, when asked what they would change about their father, one of the boys said he’d like his dad to quit calling him at 5 am on a Saturday to ask why he was in the office yet, LOL!

All true But it was his grandmother I most admire. She was left a widow with three children Fred 11, being the oldest. He went to trade school to learn both electricity and plumbing while still in high school She bought homes He fixed them up and they flipped them. She sent her daughter to business school to keep the family books. And John was suppose to be an architect. But thank God he decided on engineering. He helped develop Radar used in WWII and truly was a genius (MIT professor)

A great hard working businesswoman single mom. No welfare for her
