[00:00:00] junior are signing contracts in neighboring Oman, here
[00:00:03] a Trump hotel will also be built. The New York Times
[00:00:07] calculated that through such high-level contacts, the Trump
[00:00:10] family earned more than 2 billion dollars in just the last
[00:00:14] month. In addition, Donald Trump received
[00:00:17] a Boeing 747-8
[00:00:20] VIP class aircraft, worth 400 million, as a gift from the Qatari
[00:00:23] authorities. Immediately the question arose: are such
[00:00:27] gifts legal? Is the president's defense put forward?
[00:01:50] What profit did Trump receive in just 5 months
[00:01:53] of his presidential term? Since the beginning of his cadence, he
[00:01:56] has significantly increased his capital. Monetize
[00:02:00] the post, how the Trump family profits from his presidency,
[00:02:04] when you have such a relative, to put it
[00:02:07] mildly, it really gives certain dividends.
[00:02:10] Personal growth, how much does it cost to use the Trump name in the name
[00:02:14] of your cafe, hotel or golf club?
[00:02:28] The first 100 years of existence. In the USA, presidents did not
[00:02:32] travel outside the country, it was believed that their main
[00:02:35] task was to solve the internal problems of the United States. At that time,
[00:02:39] foreign policy was of little interest to anyone, primarily
[00:02:42] because the country was not yet strong and
[00:02:45] authoritative enough to actively participate in
[00:02:48] international affairs. The first presidential visit
[00:02:52] took place only in 1906.
[00:02:55] Theodore Roosevelt visited Panama, but this country also,
[00:02:59] in those times, was under US
[00:03:01] control. In subsequent years,
[00:03:04] US presidents usually visited either neighbors in
[00:03:08] the American continent, or their closest allies in
[00:03:12] Western Europe. Woodrow Wilson laid the foundation for this
[00:03:15] tradition when he arrived in Paris in 1918.
[00:03:18] Donald Trump made his first official
[00:03:22] foreign visit as the 47th President of the United States
[00:03:25] to the Persian Gulf countries. And the main
[00:03:28] purpose of this trip.
[00:04:00] patients,
[00:04:04] hotels and about thirty skyscrapers, in
[00:04:07] which are located giant residential complexes. In 2024, the Reators agency calculated that
[00:04:11] the total income that can be received from all this property is
[00:04:15] about 500 million dollars per year. Trump's total fortune
[00:04:18] is somewhere around 6 and a half, well, between 6 and 7
[00:04:21] billions. His family's total fortune is somewhere around 9-10
[00:04:25] billions. But I would like to say that here, of course, it is very
[00:04:28] difficult to calculate. It is not cash that is calculated, that is, it is not that there is
[00:04:32] a huge garage that is filled with 100-dollar bills. This
[00:04:35] calculates stocks, calculates the market value of
[00:04:39] property, and it is difficult to understand at this
[00:04:43] moment whether it really belongs to someone or if it is
[00:04:46] pledged somewhere in some bank, and so on. Moreover,
[00:04:49] Trump, he doesn't like to act poor. He already
[00:04:52] stated five years ago that he has 10 billion dollars.
[00:04:56] It would seem that he earned two more, so it should be more, but no, it's around ten. So...
[00:05:00] it's difficult to name the total figure, but it's quite large. To ordinary
[00:05:03] voters, ordinary citizens, it seems
[00:05:06] fantastic, but this is only the visible part of the iceberg.
[00:05:10] Trump makes money by what...
[00:05:42] in one vein, he says: I get rich, you get rich,
[00:05:46] by the way, the symbol of this, the main example
[00:05:49] of all this is his gift, which he
[00:05:53] received from representatives, from the kingdom, it's
[00:05:56] a plane for 500 million dollars, he said that he
[00:06:00] didn't receive it, the US Air Force received it,
[00:06:04] it will now be Air Force One, America received it, in general, what
[00:06:07] questions can there be? Also other deals, profitable offers,
[00:06:11] opinions, ideas, which... he concludes today, he
[00:06:13] does it for the USA, and what in Trump's understanding is
[00:06:16] the USA? It's Trump? For the golf club in Qatar,
[00:06:20] the government of this country will pay 5.5 billion
[00:06:23] dollars. Saudi Arabia gives a billion for a new Trump
[00:06:27] International hotel in Dubai. The construction
[00:06:30] of similar towers was ordered in Saudi Arabia itself and Oman,
[00:06:33] and the benefit from this is received not by the USA, but by
[00:06:37] the Trump Organization. Trump's company, it does everything, right
[00:06:40] now, from real estate to investments in
[00:06:44] infrastructure projects, in startups, everything in a row.
[00:06:48] In fact, it's not like that anymore. Trump's company, which existed in the late eighties, early
[00:06:51] nineties, is not the same at all, especially
[00:06:55] after his first presidential term. That is, let's say, those countries
[00:06:58] where Trump's company is currently present are almost all
[00:07:02] major oil-producing countries in the Middle East. Yes, these are the Arabian
[00:07:06] monarchies, so to speak. There are
[00:07:08] naturally some projects and businesses in Europe. Trump's
[00:07:12] politics and business are closely intertwined. Among the services
[00:07:15] provided to Saudi Arabia is a new golf league in
[00:07:18] Riyadh, which held its tournament in Florida on a course
[00:07:22] owned by Trump. The US president personally flew
[00:07:25] there in a military helicopter to open the competition.
[00:07:29] The fee for this is not disclosed. All
[00:07:32] delegations from Arab countries, now, when they come to the USA,
[00:07:35] invariably stay in hotels belonging to the Trump
[00:07:39] family, which brings it in total.

[00:12:12] What will Russia be like tomorrow, what to rely on
[00:12:15] today? What is our strategy
[00:12:17] for the future? Anna Shapran launches
[00:12:21] a line of author's programs on Radio Zvezda. Well-known
[00:12:25] faces and new names, opinions, comments and
[00:12:28] analytics, competent, clear and
[00:12:30] authoritative.
[00:12:33] Nikita Mikhalkov, about Russian pillars and demons, I look forward
[00:12:37] to seeing you. Sergey Kurginyan, about political games and
[00:12:40] car heads. Well, you can't do that. Oleg
[00:12:44] Yanovsky, about puppets and the main Karabas of politics.
[00:12:47] The British take American money and solve their problems with it.
[00:12:51] Andrey Shkolnikov, about the outline maps of the future world.
[00:13:46] Donald Trump's capital is inherited, well, what
[00:13:49] is commonly called old money in the West.
[00:13:53] Back in 1920.
[00:14:55] employees in Virginia and Pennsylvania, however, in
[00:14:58] New York the company did not cease its activities. In
[00:15:01] 1949, it opened the Shore
[00:15:05] Haven complex with 1344 apartments. In
[00:15:08] 1950, Beach Haven, in
[00:15:11] 1964, Trump Village. Many so-called
[00:15:15] men, in general, they turn out to be
[00:15:18] billionaires or millionaires in the third or fourth
[00:15:21] generation, so it was with Bill Gates, about whom they said that...
[00:15:25] he was like in a garage, and then it turned out that his mother was a minister,
[00:15:29] his father was a billionaire and his grandfather too, he was actually Bill Gates III
[00:15:32] because there is a dynastic system in their
[00:15:36] politics and in... in many other things, in general,
[00:15:40] and judges for several generations and governors
[00:15:44] and presidents sometimes also by inheritance happens, as it was with the Bushes, for example,
[00:15:47] and senators likewise, there
[00:15:51] the husband dies, the wife becomes there, then the children, then the grandchildren.
[00:15:55] Donald continued his father's undertakings, making projects more ambitious
[00:15:59] and his activities much more public. He was in the elite club
[00:16:02] of billionaires from the very beginning, so he easily
[00:16:05] bought and sold real estate. New projects,
[00:16:09] casinos, skyscrapers, golf clubs helped
[00:16:12] him, as did his extensive personal connections in this industry.
[00:16:15] According to Trump himself, in his younger years he earned 1.5
[00:16:19] million dollars a week, which is about 10,000
[00:16:23] dollars an hour. He first created an image of a
[00:16:26] successful person, a person with whom
[00:16:29] people wanted to be acquainted. He did this with the help
[00:16:32] of various opinion leaders, he did this with the help
[00:16:36] of artists,
[00:16:42] the party crowd of New York and Washington, that's how he made his way to
[00:16:46] the heights of power, that's how he was
[00:16:49] famous, known and did everything so that other powerful
[00:16:52] people of this world tried to communicate with him, that's how he attracted the attention
[00:16:56] of senators and congressmen, presidents, vice-presidents,
[00:16:59] ministers, and of course, big capital, capital from Wall
[00:17:03] Street, all those industrialists and not only
[00:17:06] industrialists. Everyone who dealt with big
[00:17:09] money, big deals and large orders, everyone wanted
[00:17:13] to be friends with Trump. The businessman quickly realized that media presence was necessary
[00:17:16] for greater success. Here is young Donald Trump in the Hollywood
[00:17:20] blockbuster Home Alone Two. Excuse me, where is the
[00:17:23] lobby here? Down the corridor to the left.
[00:17:26] Thank you.
[00:17:29] And the television show "The Apprentice" on NBC, which Trump
[00:17:33] hosted for 14 seasons in a row, made him
[00:17:35] so popular that he even started earning money from his
[00:17:39] own name.
[00:17:44] Trump came from business. Trump is used to taking risks, Trump
[00:17:47] is used to endless bargaining. Trump is used to
[00:17:50] public relations, loud and bright statements. This is Trump's
[00:17:54] calling card. The behavior
[00:17:57] of a businessman who is used to a bright life, meaning
[00:18:01] a life that plays with colors, he doesn't care if
[00:18:04] someone criticizes his theses.
[00:18:07] He loves to be the center of attention. Now Donald
[00:18:10] Trump constantly uses his name, registering and
[00:18:14] re-registering numerous enterprises.
[00:18:17] Investors always lined up for him, although the financial
[00:18:20] position of the Trump Organization was very often quite
[00:18:24] shaky.
[00:18:26] Donald Trump is perhaps the most famous bankrupt in the
[00:18:30] world. Courts declared his businesses
[00:18:34] financially insolvent six times. The first time was in
[00:18:38] 1991, when
[00:18:41] Donald Trump invested more than a billion dollars in
[00:18:45] the restoration of the Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City,
[00:18:48] but the establishment went bankrupt. Just
[00:18:51] a year later, Donald Trump went through
[00:18:55] bankruptcy proceedings three more times, accumulating
[00:18:58] debts totaling more than half a billion
[00:19:02] dollars to save the situation with the management of his three
[00:19:05] upscale hotels in the US. In 2009,
[00:19:09] the current president of the United States even lost
[00:19:13] his own brand, temporarily ceding the rights to
[00:19:16] use his name to
[00:19:19] creditors, but bankruptcy never
[00:19:22] bothered Trump, he called this procedure a technical
[00:19:26] thing and step by step he again restored
[00:19:30] his capital. As of today, Donald Trump's hotel
[00:19:34] empire worldwide includes 15. If his
[00:20:08] father rose on real estate for the mass
[00:20:21] consumer, right, then Trump
[00:20:24] decided to go a different way and build more long-term and
[00:20:28] more profitable objects, so
[00:20:31] to speak, with the involvement of diversified capital, for example,
[00:20:34] casinos in Atlantic City, in a number
[00:20:38] of other regions in Florida, that is, golf
[00:20:40] courses, that is, those objects that can then be used for personal
[00:20:44] needs, because what about houses, you built them, sold them, forgot
[00:20:48] about them, here it's still about... such centers of attraction that will then
[00:20:52] sell your own name, the name of your company,
[00:20:55] and he actively, unlike his father, attracted
[00:20:59] business from abroad, funds from abroad, he tried to
[00:21:03] actively build abroad. Trump's second largest
[00:21:06] source of income is his commercial real estate,
[00:21:10] primarily in New York. The president still owns
[00:21:14] commercial premises in Trump Tower on Fifth
[00:21:17] Avenue, as well as buildings in the financial district of
[00:21:20] New York, which are under a long-term lease.
[00:21:24] In addition, he owns 30% of a huge
[00:21:27] office building in Midtown Manhattan, at
[00:21:30] 1290 Sixth Avenue.
[00:21:33] Business forum or beauty pageant, it invites
[00:21:36] people, rich sponsors, and where should they be accommodated,
[00:21:39] they should be accommodated in a beautiful, expensive hotel. And who built this beautiful,
[00:21:43] expensive hotel? Donald Trump himself built it. But again, I
[00:21:46] will emphasize that Trump's uniqueness is not that he is a politician, not that
[00:21:50] he is a businessman, but that he has a unique
[00:21:54] energy, that he loves and loved
[00:21:57] life, loved women, three wives, all three, meaning,
[00:22:01] either from or with beauty pageants, or with the modeling
[00:22:04] business, five children, 11 grandchildren, everyone gets attention. Unlike
[00:22:08] golf clubs, whose profitability is generally quite low,
[00:22:11] these assets generate approximately half of all Trump
[00:22:15] Organization revenues, sometimes up to a billion dollars annually,
[00:22:18] if you also consider profitable real estate resales. Well, he
[00:22:22] was involved in construction all his life, he was a
[00:22:26] developer, and accordingly, since this was
[00:22:29] in large cities like New York, then
[00:22:33] accordingly he was closely connected with the local authorities and
[00:22:36] there too he knew how to build contracts for
[00:22:40] construction, for land purchase and so
[00:22:43] on, and well, at the same time he filed for bankruptcy several
[00:22:47] times, so he doesn't have such a brilliant.
[00:23:20] but interiors, his second wife, actress and film producer Marla
[00:23:24] Maples, during their marriage owned a large stake.
[00:23:27] And the third, current wife, Melania
[00:23:30] Trump. Today her fortune is estimated at 50 million
[00:23:34] dollars.
[00:23:40] Family for 7 billion. Trump's father is a billionaire, he
[00:23:44] himself is a billionaire, and his children are already billionaires, that is
[00:23:48] four out of five are already billionaires. Who among the president's offspring
[00:23:51] contributes the most to the family's piggy bank? The role of Trump's
[00:23:55] sons has now grown, who spends the most?
[00:24:09] Slovenian model Melania Knauss
[00:24:12] met Donald Trump at a party in New York in
[00:24:15] 1998.
[00:24:17] And for a long time.
[00:24:20] the couple dated, however, without any special plans for the
[00:24:23] future. Melania Knauss earned good money
[00:24:26] in the modeling business, but at the same time was not
[00:24:30] mercantile at all. For example, she wore a jacket priced at
[00:24:33] $39 with the inscription on the back, "I really don't
[00:24:37] care, do you?" In 1999,
[00:24:40] the New York Times interviewed her, one of
[00:24:44] the questions was: how would you behave as
[00:24:48] the First Lady of the USA if your boyfriend Donald
[00:24:51] Trump became president, and Melania answered
[00:24:55] traditionally, like Betty Ford or Jackie
[00:24:58] Kennedy. On January 22,
[00:25:02] 2005, the couple got married. At the wedding,
[00:25:05] Melania, already Trump, wore
[00:25:08] a Christian Dior dress costing $2000.
[00:25:12] Her position now obliged her to forget about
[00:25:16] cheap clothes.
[00:25:19] Melania Trump has a sharp business acumen,
[00:25:22] Page Six reports that the president's third wife
[00:25:26] revised her prenuptial agreement three times, each
[00:25:29] time achieving more favorable terms for herself through
[00:25:33] her lawyers. In 2017,
[00:25:37] the British tabloid Daily Mail reported that Melania Trump,
[00:25:40] while a model, also worked as an escort. Melania
[00:25:43] filed a lawsuit and won, forcing the newspaper to
[00:25:47] pay about 3 million dollars in compensation. In the family, everything goes into
[00:25:51] the common pot.
[00:25:55] Let's look at the financial affairs of each of the president's
[00:25:58] children. Even the capitalization of the younger, nineteen-year-old.
[00:26:32] daughter is a millionaire, the second daughter's husband
[00:26:35] is a millionaire, and the second son's wife is a sociologist, so
[00:26:39] notice how often I say the word photo model -
[00:26:43] millionaire, photo model billionaire, this is of course
[00:26:46] the calling card of the Trump clan, there was nothing like this in American
[00:26:49] history, that is, well, five children, 11 grandchildren,
[00:26:53] among whom are billionaires and photo models, billionaires and
[00:26:56] photo models, well, this is a unique situation, not for the
[00:27:00] Bush clan, not for Obama.
[00:27:32] individuals who hold high government positions, and even more so,
[00:27:36] if it concerns the president, are somehow connected
[00:27:39] with business companies and structures, more often these are some funds
[00:27:43] that attract tax-exempt funds, and then
[00:27:46] all this can be used to promote yourself personally or some
[00:27:50] other initiatives in the educational sphere, etc. Well,
[00:27:53] Trump, as a person who came from a business related
[00:27:57] to real estate, naturally continues this line through his
[00:28:00] sons Eric and Donald Trump.
[00:28:47] who has about a million subscribers, can earn money from advertising
[00:28:50] alone. Only Trump's
[00:28:54] daughter Ivanka held an official position in the White
[00:28:58] House. During her father's first
[00:29:01] presidential term, she was a senior
[00:29:04] presidential advisor. She did not receive
[00:29:07] a salary in the administration. And
[00:29:10] as a civil servant, she was forced to leave all her posts
[00:29:13] in the Trump Organization corporation. Together
[00:29:16] with her father, as a member of the official delegation, Ivanka
[00:29:20] Trump attended the G20 summit in
[00:29:24] Osaka, at negotiations with North Korean leader
[00:29:27] Kim Jong Un. Ivanka Trump's
[00:29:31] husband is a major developer, Jared
[00:29:35] Kushner. In 2017,
[00:29:38] his capital was estimated at 325 million
[00:29:42] dollars. However, according to Ivanka
[00:29:45] Trump's tax declaration, which she filed for the same period
[00:29:48] as required for a member of the US presidential
[00:29:51] administration, her capital exceeded
[00:29:54] 740 million
[00:29:56] dollars.
[00:29:58] Ivanka Trump has her own jewelry company. Her
[00:30:02] first store, simply named Ivanka Trump, was
[00:30:06] opened back in 2015 on Madison Avenue in
[00:30:09] New York. Later she launched her own line
[00:30:12] of bags and shoes, which were sold in major department
[00:30:16] stores in the US and Canada, such as Macy's and Hudson's Bay.
[00:30:19] This production brings in more than 75 million
[00:30:23] dollars a year. Then Ivanka launched a line of women's
[00:30:27] workwear, which quickly reached 100 million
[00:30:30] dollars in annual revenue.
[00:30:32] In December 2020, Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared
[00:30:36] Kushner bought a 1.8 acre plot of land
[00:30:39] for 30 million dollars, which is more than 7200
[00:30:43] square meters, on an exclusive
[00:30:46] island near the coast of Miami. The previous owner
[00:30:50] was singer Julio Iglesias. The island is called the billionaire
[00:30:54] bunker. And its access is allowed only
[00:30:57] to owners or their friends with written permission.
