Fox News has obtained a copy of Donald Trump’s upcoming book, in which he addresses a touchy subject: His net worth. The real estate magnate turned reality TV star turned Birther presidential wanna-be has never been keen on disclosing his true wealth—probably because it’s not as impressive as he’d like us to believe. In 2006, Trump sued a journalist who’d reported that he was only worth between $150 and $250 million; Trump claimed he was worth at least $2.7 billion.
Now, according to Trump’s book, he’s worth more than $7 billion. Of that, $3 billion is the value of the Trump brand, i.e., his name.
How do you get your name to be worth a purported $3 billion? First, you slap it onto every kind of product imaginable, from hotels to perfume to a vanity beer label. Here’s a selection from the more than 200 trademark applications The Donald™ has filed in his own name:
