Donald Trump in His Youth: Rare Photos From His Childhood

36. Dreams of Riches

This official portrait for Donald Trump from 1983 takes us back to the years before he was in the headlines every day. This was the year after Trump landed on the inaugural Forbes list of wealthy individuals, since he had a share of the Trump company’s $200 million estimated fortune. His 1980s losses would cause him to fall off the list, but as we’ve seen, he made a comeback.

Forbes‘ most recent ranking in 2019 estimated Trump’s net worth at $3.1 billion (259th in the United States). He was the first billionaire president. However, Forbes does claim that Trump’s wealth fell 31 percent since the time he announced his presidential run. Whether that trend continues or reverses will be determined in the years to come.
