The third generation of a business family, the young Trump assisted his
father in ventures to build affordable housing. He had a good eye for
business and after school Trump went to study finance at Pennsylvanias
Wharton School. When he left, his chief resolve was to do real estate on
a larger scale than his father.
With the 1990s came recession, and when Trump was unable to pay a $2
billion bank loan, most of his assets were seized by creditors and his wife
divorced him. Remarkably, though, he fought his way back to riches and
wrote a book about it, called 'The Art of the Comeback'.

Trumps first wife Ivana has since become a celebrity in her own right, as
have their three children Donald Jr, Eric and Ivanka (who was a model
before later choosing to join her fathers business). However, they
divorced in 1992, when he married Marla Maples, who gave birth to his
fourth child Tiffany in October 1993. In 2006, his third wife Melania Knauss
gave birth to a son named Barron William Trump.
As well as continued success with The Apprentice, which has now been
syndicated around the world, including a UK version with entrepreneur
Alan Sugar, it is Trumps political aspirations that have once again found
him in the media eye.

Following this episode, in May 2011, Trump announced that he would not
seek the Republican nomination. He claimed that business is my greatest
passion and he was not prepared to step down from his business
responsibilities. He did, however, maintain that if he were to run, he would
be successful.
