So are you saying that compound interest turned that million into billions? Better go back and study some more.

When Trump universtiy folded there were a bunch of angry students. They were upset with themselves for not seeing the con.
Making millions of dollars on reality tv doesn't make you a good businessman. He's a good entertainer.
Trump is about 74 years old. If Trump had taken all the millions that his daddy gave him and put into a good fund like the Vanguard Total Index 500 he would have a Billion dollars by now. He could have opened the account in the early 1980's.
Point is his daddy's money had more to do with where he is now than being a good at business.
