My excuse for not being as rich as Donald Trump?  I'm not saying I would have made nearly as much money in the same situation but don't you think being born the son of a New York real estate mogul helped him be a bit more successful than your average person?  I mean, inheriting millions to start with is kind of important.


Sure it helped being a bit more... but was he just a bit more successful than other people that inherited as much?

How much have your parents invested or will leave to you? Do you think you can grow it by how much?

You said "what's your excuse" for not being a billionare, as though everyone was starting off with a level playing field.  That's obviously not even close to being true, not by any stretch of the imagination.  It takes money to make money--I know, as I've owned two store-front businesses--and Trump starting off with millions in assets and his father's business gives him a massive edge when compared to the average person.  That's an iron-clad fact.  The "what's your excuse" line was silly.
