No question he started with a tremendous advantage, but given the limited number of billionaires, I'd say most who begin with that kind of privilege don't do as well as Trump did.
I'm not hung up on the bankruptcies. His businesses have made tons of money. His name is worth an incredible amount of money. I was talking to a developer recently who had dealings with Trump. He said Trump came in the room to talk about investing in some project and said he's not putting in any money, but they can pay to use his name. And that's what happened. Very few people can sell just their name the way he can.
I really can't stand the guy after what I've seen during this campaign, but he has had remarkable success in business.
I am not saying trump isn't accomplished, he's a great self promoter, its just that he's not that impressive (as his followers like to believe) and when a self made billionaire puts Trump's success into perspective its says a lot. BTW BK 4 times... Once, fine, 4 times = Bad.
