Biography
American entrepreneur who made a fortune estimated at $1 billion by
finding and buying losing properties and turning them around. The fourth
of five kids, he grew up in Queens, the son of a self-made millionaire in
real estate. In 1968, he graduated business school. In 1975 he made his
first purchase of a run-down hotel, and began his history of renovations.
Trump is known as a P.T. Barnum of finance, a conspicuous consumer with
a powerful mystique. He sculpts his own persona with the aid of a press
agent and has his name emblazoned on everything he touches. His toys
include a $30 million yacht, an 118-room palace in Florida and a Manhattan
apartment with an 80-foot living room.
Overextended, his empire began to crumble in 1990, leading to massive
juggling of properties, buying and selling to stay afloat.
At the young age of 51, Trump wrote his third autobiography,
"Trump: The Art of the Comeback," written with Kate Bohner,
1997. Trump's other two autobiographies include "Trump: Surviving at
the Top," written with Charles Leerhsen, 1990 and "Trump: The
Art of the Deal," written with Tony Schwartz, 1987.
Trump had a 13 year marriage with Ivana, producing three children;
Donald Jr. in 1978, Ivanka in 1982 and Eric in 1986. Their divorce in 1991
was highly publicized with accusations of his affair with Marla Maples and
Ivana reaming Trump for as much as she could at the time, settling for a
$3.5 million dollar home and $14 million. With this being only 1.5% of his
net worth, she continued to pursue for a higher settlement. With the
publication of Ivana's tell-all book, Donald brought a $25 million law
suit against Ivana 7/30/1992 for breach of privacy. His tempestuous
relationship with Marla Maples included a public shouting match in October
1992 in a restaurant. Their daughter Tiffany was born 10/13/1993. Trump
separated from Marla in May 1997 with a pre-nup between one and five
million.
In October 1999, he threw his hat in the ring of the presidential
nomination, exploring the possibility of Pennsylvania Avenue real estate.

What Do You Think?
Why is this guy so rich? By Koch and Placidus houses he only has
Neptune in the 2nd house. (By Equal house, Chiron and Jupiter slip in.
Anyone want to change house system?) The ruler of his second house is
Mercury in Cancer squared by Neptune. (Another truth stretcher?) A
visionary with Sun-Jupiter luck? Is that enough? Henri Mancini might
agree. He also has Neptune in the 2nd house, square Mercury and a
Sun-Jupiter trine. To find the pot of gold, check out the declinations!
