There are very few entrepreneurs and figures in the business world who attract the same newspaper inches as the infamous Donald Trump. He is a man who has made many friends and enemies over the years and risen from the flames like a Phoenix on numerous occasions. But what do you know about the one and only Donald Trump?
Born on 14 June 1946 Donald Trump is the son of German immigrant workers who moved to the US in the 1930s. Trump himself had a very difficult early childhood with trouble at school seeing him moved around a number of educational facilities. When finally he ended up at the New York Military Academy this was to be his saving grace and allowed him to progress to one of the most colourful business careers ever known.
He is the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts and a substantial player in the US real estate market. He has appeared in many US TV programmes, been involved in a number of business ventures, been bankrupt and risen from the ashes on more than one occasion. Indeed his Trump Entertainment Resorts business is currently in serious financial trouble with nearly $2 billion of loans and finance due to be repaid immediately.
However, Donald Trump has a knack of pulling out the stops when required and few would back against the one and only Donald Trump.
