I can’t count the number of times you have brought up this list. What possible connection does it or the number of billionaires in this country have to do with Donald Trump? Are any of them running for office?
Otherwise, people would no more know Donald Trump's name than they know Leonard Stern, John Sobrato, Stephen Ross, Richard LeFrak, Andrew Beal, or Donald Bren, all of whom are better at the "RE mogul" game (some considerably better) than Trump. And that's just real estate, that doesn't count the entrepreneurs who built many times more billions than Donald's, out of much less.
The ONLY reason Trump is famous, let alone famous for his vaunted "brilliant" business mind, is because he has a flair for showmanship and pursued that brand in celebrity status, including seven years as star of a prime time realty TV show -- LOOK IT IN THE EYE.
People think Trump is one of the world's biggest billionaires and therefore one of the world's smartest people. In fact, he is a self-made celebrity real estate mogul and third-rate as far as billionaires go.
