yes there are realy selfmade billionairs, but trump isnt one of those, he inherited alot of money and connections.

and a brandname isnt a real asset, he could destroy it every day with a wrong comment, thats not a stable asset. he has under 1 billion in real assets, the rest is just the brand.   he couldnt finance his own election campaigne if he would run a normal campaigne.

 

and 500k worth in normal middleclass assets isnt much, and most of it is very illiquide or needed to cover retirement.

first staaawks will be sold, than other assets and in the end the house. there will be not much left if they die at a normal age.  and im totaly fine with that, why shouldnt they use all the wealth they created till the end?

Yes he inherited... care to show evidence of how many in similar situation improved their worth similarly?

Why would anyone finance their own elections? Most investors and rich people became rich because they use other people money to finance their dreams and them after returning the interest rip the profit.

If a brandname isn't a real asset them you better call walllstreet, they have been making money the wrong way for like a century.

Well if you really think that inheriting a paid house can't make you milionaire, just because it won't be easy them you can't rule out he making multi-billionaire (or even billionaire if you want to discount all the rest of his worth)  starting milionaire, because it certainly isn't easy as well.

But sure, let's summarize the convo and just say he is a completely stupid person that only became rich because he had rich friends and inheritance.

he needs to finance his own election because he needs the super rich guy image to win it, and to be super rich because the trump brand is his biggest asset and he needs to play richie rich or the brand will die.

and yes, its easy to get realy rich if you inherit a well run big real estate company that has most of its assets in new york.

if he is stupid or a brilliant actor/conman? i dont know, i realy realy dont know, but he isnt a brilliant or even good business person, his company isnt well run and many people with a background like him have the same amount of money he has, if not more.

bloomberg made trump realy rich with his politics in nyc and the boom nyc saw after that, and his example could ruin trump, bloomberg invested just his own money, and run a huge campaigne in nyc, trump isnt able to finance such an campaigne nation wide, and taking money from other guys would destroy his chances to win.  atm he is ahead of everybody and spend the least amount of money, but that will change when the campaigne starts its next stage with the first primarys.

You think he needs... let's see to the end and if no one will donate to his campaigne... He may be richie rich for you, but I could be wrong, but are all his companies 100% owned by him without any shareholder?

Well if it's really easy to become bilionaire in similar circunstance, you certainly could provide a research about how many % of people that had previous generation worth between 20-100M became billionaires, right? Please show me the numers, many is very generic (there are many bilionaires, so everyone should be bilionaire?), I want statistic.

You first say he have a well run, and then say it isn't well run.

Have any campaign costed 10Billion? Perhaps he could, but would be utter silly.
