Where do you take this from? Why did his casino go bankrupt if he is such a great manager? And what are the awesome deals he made so far?
To me he looks more like the proof that any idiot can become richer if he is born with the right privilege and completely ruthless.

IIRC he lied to the Forbes people to get onto their list and then proved his wealth with that fake statistic to get loans from banks. I don't think anyone can do that and having had the name Trump and the wealth of his father in his back is probably what made people not check this thoroughly enough. If my name showed up in the top 50 Forbes list of richest people tomorrow, I kinda doubt a bank would accept that as proof of my wealth. Just as I doubt Forbes would fall for my lies in the first place. In his case he lied to a Forbes reporter telling him the entire wealth of his father was now his.
