“When I graduated from college, I had a net worth of perhaps $200,000,” he said in his 1987 autobiography “Trump: The Art of the Deal,” written with Tony Schwartz. (That’s about $1.4 million in 2015 dollars.) “I had my eye on Manhattan.”

Since in 1971 he was given control of his father's $300M real estate company, worth about $1.8B in today's money, claiming he turned $200,000 into $4B (or $10B) by his own efforts is a tad disingenuous.
