How old is Donald Trump? & Where did Donald Trump grow up and was his family wealthy?
Donald Trump was born on June 14, 1946, the fourth child of real estate tycoon Fred Trump. The Trump family was wealthy and lived in a mansion in the Queens area of New York.
As a 13-year-old, Donald was sent to a military academy after he started misbehaving at school.
Now 71, he boasts that he made money “the good old-fashioned way” but he first got into real estate with a “small” $1million loan from his father and helped manage the family’s housing portfolio in the New York area.
He took control of the company in 1971 and renamed it the Trump Organisation – shifting from residential sales in Brooklyn and Queens to swanky projects in Manhattan.
What is Donald Trump’s net worth?
The US President has repeatedly bragged he is worth $10bn (£7.6bn).
But his personal fortune has reportedly taken a heavy £360million blow.
The 71-year-old crashed from 544th richest on the Forbes billionaire list to 766th, leaving him with £2.9billion in assets.
The bad news for Trump comes on top of him losing £548million in Forbes’ 2017 rankings.
The Trump Organization, of which he serves as president and chairman, owns plush resorts, residential towers, real estates and golf courses.
How many wives has Donald Trump had and who are his children?
Donald Trump has five children from three marriages. His first two marriages ended in high-profile divorces.
He married his first wife, Czech model Ivana Zelnickova in 1977 at the age of 30, when Ivana was 26.
They had three children together – Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric – between 1977 and 1984.
But the couple divorced after 15 years of marriage in 1992 after he had an affair with actress Marla Marples.
Trump married Ms Marples the following year – two months after she had given birth to his fourth child Tiffany – but divorced six years later in 1999.
In 2005, he married his current wife Melania – originally from Slovenia and then working as a model – and she gave birth to their son Barron the following year.
Eric and Donald Jr, who became embroiled in controversy over alleged ties to the Russian government during his father’s presidential campaign, now run The Trump Organization business.
