The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.

variety.comSteven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer The White Stripes’ Jack White and Meg White have filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, accusing the presidential candidate of “flagrant misappropriation” of their song “Seven Nation Army.” In late August, Jack threatened a lawsuit against Trump’s campaign after Margo Martin, his deputy director of communications, used “Seven Nation Army” in a since-deleted video on X of the Republican nominee walking out to the song. “Don’t even think about using my music you fascists,” he wrote in a caption on Instagram. “And as long as I’m here, a double fuck you DonOLD for insulting our nation’s veterans at Arlington you scum.
