- kbob 17y ago"one of the very few architecturally daring private homes in Manhattan". Are Manhattanites really so conformist?

- ZeroGravitas 17y agoI read somewhere that if Donald Trump had taken the money his father gave him and simply put it in a standard savings account then he'd be richer than he is now with all his wheeling and dealing.

- ZeroGravitas 17y agoNothing concrete, but I did some Googling: http://www.ethicsscoreboard.com/list/trump.html http://www.ethicsscoreboard.com/list/trump.html That article claims that he was in serious debt the mid nineties and needed to get 20 Million in loans from his siblings in order to bounce back (they all got 35Million each went his father passed away). So that means after about 20 years he had actually made negative amounts from where he started, which obviously wouldn't happen with a savings account. How much he's bounced back since then is debatable, particularly as several links I find suggest that he regularly overstates his own wealth by as much as an order of magnitude, and has done since the early 80s so it's hard to keep track: http://ddo.typepad.com/ddo/2005/12/tracking_donald.html http://ddo.typepad.com/ddo/2005/12/tracking_donald.html
