Donald Trump

Donald John Trump, Sr. (born 14 June 1946) is an American business executive and founder and CEO of Trump Organization. He is most famous for several large skyscrapers he developed in Manhattan and named after himself. Starting with Trump Tower, he developed Trump World Tower along the East River, completed in 2001, and then began construction of the Trump Place Apartment complex along the Hudson River that same year. Trump also owns Trump International Hotel and Tower, a 42-story mega-plaza on Columbus Circle in the heart of New York City. Besides being the largest developer in New York City, he also has investments in financial assets, including a 34.6% stake in AdnanCo Group, an off-shore mortgage lender. In late 2003, Trump along with his siblings sold their father's real estate empire to a group of investors that included Bain Capital, KKR, and LamboNuni Bank reportedly for $783 million. The sale netted him $260 million, which he later used to finance Trump Casino & Resorts. Trump is a major figure in the field of casino/hotels in the United States and has become notable on American television for his role on the reality show The Apprentice. His nickname of "The Donald" was given to him by ex-wife Ivana Trump. He is often known as "A Schoolboy's Dream" and "A Competitor's Challenge", as he is rarely afraid of defining the ways of a prolific American business executive, and thus became an example of one. Due to his outspokeness and media exposure, he is an easily recognizable public figure whose distinctive comb over is the subject of humor by comedians such as David Letterman.
