Donald
John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American
business magnate, socialite, television personality,
and author. He is the Chairman and CEO of the
Trump Organization, a US-based real-estate developer.
Trump is also the founder of Trump Entertainment
Resorts, which operates numerous casinos and hotels
across the world. Trump's extravagant lifestyle
and outspoken manner have made him a celebrity
for years, a status which was only amplified by
the success of his NBC reality show, The Apprentice
(where he serves as host and executive producer).
Donald was the fourth of five children of Fred
Trump, a wealthy real estate developer based in
New York City. Donald was strongly influenced
by his father in his eventual goals to make a
career in real estate development, and upon his
graduation from Wharton School at the University
of Pennsylvania in 1968, Donald Trump joined his
father's company, The Trump Organization.
Starting with the renovation of the Commodore
Hotel into the Grand Hyatt with the Pritzker family,
he continued with Trump Tower in New York City
and several other residential projects. Trump
would later expand into the airline industry (buying
the Eastern Shuttle routes), and Atlantic City
casino business, including buying the Taj Mahal
Casino from the Crosby family, then taking it
into bankruptcy. This expansion, both personal
and business, led to mounting debt. Much of the
news about him in the early 1990s involved his
much publicized financial problems, creditor-led
bailout, extramarital affair with Marla Maples,
and the resulting divorce from his first wife,
Ivana Trump.
The late 1990s saw a resurgence in his financial
situation and fame. In 2001, he completed Trump
World Tower, a 72-story residential tower across
from the United Nations Headquarters. Also, he
began construction on Trump Place, a multi-building
development along the Hudson River. Trump owns
commercial space in Trump International Hotel
and Tower, a 44-story mixed-use (hotel and condominium)
tower on Columbus Circle. Trump currently owns
several million square feet of prime Manhattan
real estate, and remains a major figure in the
field of real estate in the United States and
a celebrity for his prominent media exposures.
