13. The Business Grows
Donald Trump continued to accumulate a vast fortune throughout the 1980s, eventually securing a spot on Forbes’ billionaires list in 1989. Forbes reporter Jonathan Greenberg later revealed that he thought Trump was deceiving him about his family’s wealth in order to appear on the list. Trump’s ascent to the billionaire list was short-lived, unfortunately. Business losses kept him off the list from 1990 to 1995.
In the photo above, Trump shared a memory of his failed bid to build the New York City convention center. “#TBT As a young man when I proposed the Convention Center in New York City.”
