You would be wealthy too if your dad was giving you a million dollars starting at 3 months old.
Going to Univ of Penn did not make a difference for Trump. He was a millionaire before he took one class because of daddy's money.
If you took all of the money Trump got from his father and put into a good mutual fund like "The Vanguard Total Index 500" his net worth would be the same or higher. He has had a couple failed casinos.

There are a lot of "legacy" kids at Penn and the other Ivy League universities I've attended. I wasn't one of them. I was eating Ramen while they were eating steaks - some were cool, some were not. Most had no business being there IMO but they had connections, so they were.
The cool thing about those rich kids though was they didn't give a shit about spending daddy's money. They knew I always had to work because I was broke, so when we went out when I wasn't working, they had no problem swiping their cards for daddy to pay the bill later... as I've posted before, they also didn't care when I borrowed their cars for a date. Chicks thought I was a rich kid with all of these luxury cars without knowing that my actual car probably wasn't even worth a thousand bucks (and that is probably being generous).
My point is that it is hard to respect money when you never really had to earn it on your own and you're given everything... I know my dad could have bought me a nicer car. He was just like if you want a nicer car, go earn that money and buy it for yourself. Otherwise, keep driving this piece of shit I bought for you and STFU.
