從商人到總統(tǒng),特朗普的身份轉(zhuǎn)變
在曠日持久的美國(guó)總統(tǒng)競(jìng)選中,共和黨的總統(tǒng)候選人唐納德·特朗普出人意料地?fù)魯×嗣裰鼽h候選人希拉里·克林頓。這幾個(gè)月里,這位身家數(shù)十億的商人、電視明星和政治家在選票上擊敗了對(duì)手,令大批崇拜者為之興奮。 去年6月14日剛過(guò)完70歲生日的特朗普,在短短幾個(gè)月之后就當(dāng)選了總統(tǒng)。下面讓我們來(lái)看看特朗普的生意、總統(tǒng)選舉、奢華的生活風(fēng)格、家庭和凈資產(chǎn)情況。 特朗普的凈資產(chǎn):45億美元 《福布斯》(Forbes)顯示,特朗普的凈資產(chǎn)為45億美元。他在全球億萬(wàn)富翁里排名第324,在全美的富豪榜單中排名第113。在競(jìng)選初期,這位共和黨的候選人表示他的資產(chǎn)凈值已經(jīng)超過(guò)100億美元,而在去年5月17日提交給聯(lián)邦選舉委員會(huì)(Federal Election Commission)的財(cái)務(wù)狀況披露文件中,他重申了這一數(shù)值。 根據(jù)追蹤名流收入的網(wǎng)站Celebrity Net Worth報(bào)道,特朗普出生于一個(gè)富有的家庭,從他已故的父親、房地產(chǎn)開(kāi)發(fā)商弗雷德·特朗普那里繼承了4,000萬(wàn)美元的遺產(chǎn)。1971年,唐納德成為了后來(lái)的特朗普集團(tuán)(The Trump Organization)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。 從那以后,唐納德·特朗普的收入和頭銜幫助他經(jīng)營(yíng)了超過(guò)500家公司。這位商業(yè)大亨的生意涉及賭場(chǎng)、摩天大樓、電視節(jié)目、高爾夫球場(chǎng)、書籍、商品等多個(gè)領(lǐng)域。 唐納德·特朗普的生意 唯一比特朗普的性格還要犀利的,就是他的商業(yè)頭腦。20世紀(jì)70年代,他與凱越酒店(Hyatt)、紐約市和中央車站(Grand Central Station)旁邊虧本的海軍準(zhǔn)將酒店(Commodore Hotel)合作,獲得了改造和承包這家境況不佳的酒店的權(quán)利,讓它成為了全新的君悅酒店(Grand Hyatt)。這家酒店立刻取得了成功,也讓特朗普一躍成為當(dāng)?shù)刈钪姆康禺a(chǎn)開(kāi)發(fā)商之一。 1984年,特朗普完成了68層的特朗普大樓(Trump Tower)的建造,這里成為了特朗普集團(tuán)的總部。這棟建筑擁有60英尺的瀑布,并在對(duì)外開(kāi)放時(shí)擁有五層的零售店和紐約著名的餐廳。 特朗普擁有許多成功的生意和產(chǎn)業(yè)。其中包括Trump Place,這個(gè)住宅開(kāi)發(fā)項(xiàng)目在18棟建筑中擁有5,700間公寓。芝加哥特朗普國(guó)際大廈酒店(Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago)則設(shè)有賓館、公寓套間,以及大量餐廳和店鋪。沃爾曼溜冰場(chǎng)(Wollman Rink)地處紐約中央公園(Central Park),每年的游客超過(guò)500萬(wàn),也是特朗普的產(chǎn)業(yè)。 唐納德·特朗普失敗的生意 盡管唐納德的大部分生意為他贏得了名聲,不過(guò)他也有失敗的時(shí)候。 1988年,特朗普花費(fèi)3.65億美元購(gòu)買了一隊(duì)波音727,以及位于華盛頓特區(qū)、紐約和波士頓的著陸設(shè)施。他還購(gòu)買了在飛機(jī)上印刷自己名字的權(quán)利。不幸的是,他以Trump Shuttle之名營(yíng)造奢華飛行體驗(yàn)的嘗試失敗了,這家公司已經(jīng)解散了。 據(jù)《時(shí)代》雜志(Time)報(bào)道,1990年,支持特朗普投資的銀行以新增借款和信貸的方式,給他提供了6,500萬(wàn)美元的救助。這次資助失敗了,導(dǎo)致特朗普在9個(gè)月后背負(fù)了近40億美元的債務(wù)。同年,他在新澤西州亞特蘭大的著名賭場(chǎng)“特朗普泰姬陵”(Taj Mahal)也被判破產(chǎn)。 2004年,特朗普酒店賭場(chǎng)度假村(Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts)宣布破產(chǎn)重建。2009年,同一家公司——也就是如今的特朗普娛樂(lè)度假中心(Trump Entertainment Resorts)——再次申請(qǐng)破產(chǎn)。 特朗普最著名的一次失敗經(jīng)營(yíng),是他的特朗普大學(xué)(Trump University)。這家網(wǎng)絡(luò)大學(xué)成立于2005年,并未獲得授權(quán)認(rèn)證,最終于2010年關(guān)閉。在這位共和黨候選人的競(jìng)選當(dāng)中,三起針對(duì)該大學(xué)的法律訴訟給他造成過(guò)麻煩。它們指控特朗普大學(xué)是一個(gè)騙局,致使學(xué)生損失了數(shù)萬(wàn)美元的學(xué)費(fèi)。 唐納德·特朗普的競(jìng)選花費(fèi) 《華盛頓郵報(bào)》(Washington Post)把特朗普這次自籌資金的競(jìng)選,稱作史上最劃算的競(jìng)選。不幸的是,特朗普勝利的代價(jià)比他預(yù)測(cè)的可能要大許多。在許多引發(fā)爭(zhēng)議和種族歧視的言論過(guò)后,美國(guó)全國(guó)廣播公司(NBC)和梅西百貨(Macy’s)終止了與他的合作,環(huán)球電視臺(tái)(Univision)也疏遠(yuǎn)了他。 然而,根據(jù)The Hill對(duì)聯(lián)邦選舉委員會(huì)開(kāi)銷數(shù)據(jù)的分析,精通媒體的特朗普截至去年6月中旬就已經(jīng)通過(guò)免費(fèi)的宣傳時(shí)間為自己賺到了20億美元。聯(lián)邦通信委員會(huì)(FCC)的一份報(bào)告顯示,他在2016年2月只花費(fèi)了3,340萬(wàn)美元用于選舉,而同期希拉里·克林頓的花費(fèi)為1.29億美元。 特朗普的生活方式 特朗普和妻子梅拉尼亞·特朗普居住在紐約特朗普大樓的三層閣樓里。他們享有許多奢華設(shè)施,其中包括一座室內(nèi)噴泉,還有鑲嵌鉆石和黃金的門。 他的其他產(chǎn)業(yè)還包括一家私人俱樂(lè)部Mar-a-Lago。它坐落于南佛羅里達(dá)寸土寸金的地段,占地17英畝。他在1985年以1,000萬(wàn)美元的低價(jià)買下了這里。俱樂(lè)部里擁有58間臥室,33間浴室,12個(gè)壁爐和3個(gè)防空洞。如今,這家豪華的俱樂(lè)部的價(jià)值已經(jīng)高達(dá)3億美元。 在競(jìng)選期間,他的座機(jī)是價(jià)值1億美元的波音757,配有黃金打造的安全帶。他的豪華汽車則包括一輛勞斯萊斯、一輛鐵藍(lán)色的1997款蘭博基尼迪亞波羅(Lamborghini Diablo)和一輛梅賽德斯-奔馳SLR邁凱倫(Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren)。 唐納德·特朗普的妻子和家庭 特朗普迎娶了前超模梅拉尼亞,這是他的第三任妻子,也是他最小的兒子巴倫·特朗普的母親。唐納德·特朗普二世、埃里克和伊萬(wàn)卡由他的第一任妻子伊凡娜·特朗普所生。蒂芙尼則是他第二任妻子瑪拉·馬普勒斯所生。 這位70歲的房地產(chǎn)大亨以共和黨總統(tǒng)當(dāng)選人的身份慶祝了自己的2016年。作為全球最富有的人之一,名人富豪特朗普將繼續(xù)著自己保守爭(zhēng)議、發(fā)財(cái)致富、奢華享樂(lè)——以及如今領(lǐng)導(dǎo)美國(guó)的生活。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)) 譯者:嚴(yán)匡正 |
Republican president-elect Donald Trump emerged as an unlikely victor in a grueling presidential contest against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Over the months, the billionaire businessman, television star and politician beat out contenders in the polls, thrilling throngs of adoring fans. On June 14, Trump celebrated his 70th birthday and, just a few months later, was elected president. Here’s a look at Trump’s businesses, presidential campaign, lavish lifestyle, family and net worth. Donald Trump Net Worth: $4.5 Billion Forbes puts Trump’s net worth at $4.5 billion. He is No. 324 on the worldwide list of billionaires and No. 113 in the United States. Early in his campaign, the Republican president-elect said he was worth in excess of $10 billion, and he reiterated that claim on May 17 when he submitted an updated financial disclosure to the Federal Election Commission. Born into a wealthy family, Trump inherited about $40 million from his late father, real estate developer Fred Trump, reported Celebrity Net Worth, which tracks celebrity earnings. In 1971, Donald became head of what would later be known as The Trump Organization. Donald Trump’s earnings and title have since helped him develop over 500 companies. The business mogul has his stake in casinos, skyscrapers, television shows, golf courses, books, merchandise and more. Donald Trump’s Businesses The only thing bigger than Trump’s personality is his business acumen. In the 1970s, he landed a deal with Hyatt, the city of New York and the unprofitable Commodore Hotel beside the Grand Central Station, earning the right to renovate and rebrand the ailing hotel into the Grand Hyatt. That hotel became an instant success, making Trump one of the best-known real estate developers in the area. In 1984, Trump completed construction on the 68-story Trump Tower, the home of The Trump Organization. That building includes a 60-foot waterfall and, on opening day, had five levels of retail stores and restaurants known as a New York staple. Trump has owned a slew of successful businesses and properties, among them Trump Place, a housing development project with 5,700 apartments across 18 buildings. The Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago has a hotel, condos and numerous restaurants and shops. Wollman Rink, a Central Park staple that sees more than 5 million visitors each year, is also owned by Trump. Donald Trump’s Failed Businesses While Trump has major business wins to his name, so does he have losses. In 1988, Trump spent $365 million on a fleet of Boeing 727s, plus landing facilities in Washington, D.C., New York City and Boston. He also bought the right to paint his name on a plane. Unfortunately, his attempt to build a luxury flying experience under the Trump Shuttle name failed — and the company was decommissioned. In 1990, the banks that backed his investments provided him with a $65 million bailout in new loans and credit, reported Time. That bailout failed, leaving Trump nearly $4 billion in debt nine months later. That same year, his famous Taj Mahal casino in Atlanta City, N.J., filed for bankruptcy. Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts went bankrupt in 2004. In 2009, the same company — now called Trump Entertainment Resorts — filed for bankruptcy again. One of Trump’s highest-profile business failures is Trump University. The unaccredited online college was launched in 2005 and closed down in 2010. Three Trump University lawsuits plague the Republican nominee’s campaign. Those lawsuits allege Trump University was a scam that cost students tens of thousands of dollars. Donald Trump Campaign Costs The Washington Post called Donald Trump’s self-funded bid for the Oval Office history’s most cost-effective run for presidency. Unfortunately, Trump’s time at the podium has cost him a far bit more money than he might have expected. After a number of controversial and racially-charged remarks, NBC and Macy’s fired Trump, and Univision distanced itself from him. The media-savvy Trump, however, is believed to have received $2 billion in free airtime by mid-June, according to an analysis of FEC spending data conducted by The Hill. One FCC report shows he spent just $33.4 million through February 2016. Hillary Clinton spent $129 million during the same period. Donald Trump’s Lifestyle Trump and wife Melania Trump live in a three-floor penthouse in Trump Tower in New York City. The luxuries they enjoy include an indoor fountain and a door encrusted with diamonds and gold. Among his other properties is the private club Mar-a-Lago, which sits on 17 acres of valuable South Florida land. He bought the estate — which boasts 58 bedrooms, 33 bathrooms, 12 fireplaces and three bomb shelters — for the bargain price of $10 million in 1985. Today, it is a luxury club worth as much as $300 million. He shuttles between campaign stops in his $100 million Boeing 757 adorned with gold seat belts. His fleet of luxury vehicles include a Rolls Royce, an electric blue 1997 Lamborghini Diablo and a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Donald Trump’s Wife and Family Trump is married to former supermodel Melania, his third wife and the mother of his youngest son, Barron Trump. Donald Trump Jr., Eric and Ivanka were born to his first wife, Ivana Trump. Tiffany was born to his second wife, Marla Maples. At 70, the real estate baron celebrates this year as the Republican president-elect of 2016. One of the richest men in the world, Trump is a celebrity billionaire who continues to stir controversy, make money and entertain — and now, lead the U.S. ? |
