The guy owns hotels and buildings all over the world. He doesn’t seem to be “hiding” them, they pretty much all have “TRUMP” in huge gold letters. Seems to me in about thirty minutes of sleuthing a person could estimate his worth to the nearest Billion. Only people like you and me are “worth” the cash in their pocket. As you know, no “billionaire” is sitting on a vault with billions in it. Your claim just doesn’t make sense to me.
I understand your point. However, the issue is not wealth but claimed wealth. There is no denial that Trump is a wealthy man.
After more than 40 years as a subscriber, I cancelled my Forbes subscription because it deserted it’s conservative roots.
However in that time, every year they develop a list of American billionaires. They actually have employees dedicated to the study and development on the actual Trump wealth.
Forbes tells us that Trump and some others always argue that the number reported is significantly less than the actual number.
So, Trump has over the years publically stated his net worth and there was disagreement by the wealth slueths at Forbes. My statement was that the released tax returns could reveal less than Trump’s on record statements.
What is not known is how leveraged they are. If I own a building worth $100 million and it has a $90 million mortgage then I'm not worth $100 million dollars, I'm worth $10 million.
Regardless Trump is a whole lot wealthier than I am or ever will be.
