BTW, Trump personally claims far more than US $3.1BN, but has, as usual, nothing to back up his claim; in fact, there is wide spread suspicion Trump's 'fortune' may be at most half of the 2018 net worth and does not take into account his very high debt burden...
It should also be taken into account great wealth does not mean someone is a great business man nor are they competent, secure business persons; there are a great number of very rich persons who attained their wealth through fraudulent activities (Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken, and Bernie Madoff, spring to mind) and there are some who have "daddy's wallet" to thank for their own fat wallets...
Let's put it this way: I can be a millionaire because I formulated an idea, worked hard and honestly to put the idea into action and worked hard to attain success, and ensure the well-being of the shareholders, employees, and others related to my endeavors...
...or, I could be a millionaire because I cheated, lied, and bullied my way through life at the expense of others and didn't give a rat's about who I trampled in my path...
One's honest money and the other's sad, weak, pathetic money, probably earned by someone who is, at heart, a snowflake and gets his Pampers in a twist when someone calls his bluffs...
Either way, I know, if I had to appoint a CEO or other sort of leader, with the expectation of quality leadership, which of the two would be my choice...
