Donald Trump is worth an estimated $2.5 billion, leaving him $400 million short of the cutoff to make this years Forbes 400 list of Americas richest people. The real estate mogul is just as wealthy as he was a year ago, when he stood at No. 339 on the ranking, but he is down $600 million since the start of the pandemic. Technology stocks, cryptocurrencies and other assets have thrived in the Covid era. But big-city propertieswhich make up the bulk of Trumps fortunehave languished, knocking the former president out of the nations most exclusive club.
If Trump is looking for someone to blame, he can start with himself. Five years ago, he had a golden opportunity to diversify his fortune. Fresh off the 2016 election, federal ethics officials were pushing Trump to divest his real estate assets. That would have allowed him to reinvest the proceeds into broad-based index funds and assume office free of conflicts of interest.

(29,606 posts)Empires of New York chronicles the meteoric rise of five icons Ivan Boesky, Donald Trump, Leona Helmsley, Rudy Giuliani and John Gotti who not only reshaped the city but contributed mightily to the world we live in today. Drawing on exclusive interviews, never-before-told stories, and secret tapes, the series follows titans of the era who shared a singular trait: the insatiable need to win at all costs. Seizing opportunity in an era jolted by one cultural upheaval after another MTV and 24-hour news, hip hop, drugs, the onset of AIDS they broke rules, flaunted their wealth, and delighted in the destruction of their enemies. And oddly, at times America came to love them for it.
