2. What The Pile Was Worth...

...when he took over daddy's company would have, if just left in Dow index funds, be worth almost $10 billion.
That's more than 2x the net worth he falsely claimed, and 2 &2/3rds more than Forbes got fooled into publishing.
He could have done NOTHING and been phenomenally rich.
Which means he was unsuccessful. He made way less money doing something (including the shady stuff) than if he did had he done nothing at all.
