There was an interesting and kind of odd article up at CNN Money this week. Donald Trump either doesn’t know how much he is worth or doesn’t have a solid understanding of what net worth is. One author (that he sued!) claimed he was only worth $150-200 million, while trump says $3.7 billion is a conservative estimate. This may not seem like a big deal, but with Trump allegedly considering a Presidential campaign in 2012 I find it intriguing. Understanding what net worth means is kind of important especially if you claim to be a business mogul.
While you ponder exactly how much Trump might be worth, check out these other great articles from the week:

Thanks for the mention Kevin!
It is a good point that you raise. Anybody claiming to want to run for President of the United States on a fiscal platform should have a good sense of what his worth is. Otherwise fiscal irresponsibility would be expected to continue. Maybe Obama could trade his birth certificate for the Donald’s balance sheet.

Trump’s net worth is about as solid as his hair situation. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
