Secrets Busted: 7 Businesses That Run On Donald Trump’s Name That You Didn’t Know

We have known Donald Trump since he became the US President. But the billionaire had many astounding businesses that many of us are unaware of. Trump’s estimated wealth and businesses were the only way people knew him before he contested for the US Presidential elections. Trump has had a vast history of businesses that any other US President has had.

He does not disclose his net worth but according to Forbes, the estimation was approximately around $2.5 billion.

Trump’s businesses are generally opaque to the public for many reasons. However, Trump’s main company named Trump Organization is a privately held business which means it does not have to publish quarterly earnings like that of the publicly traded companies. Trump has been confidential in releasing his net profits and tax paid in public that is why none of his tax returns are released to the public. Is Trump trying to hide his actual earnings?

Also, the amount listed as “income” from the assets owned seems to be the “revenue” generated from those businesses. 

Since we do not know the expenses of the business listed therefore we cannot calculate the actual income owned by his businesses. If you thought that Trump was just a President then you are certainly wrong. The leader hoards many other feathers in his cap of excellence.
