THE President of the United States is the world’s most flamboyant and publicised billionaire.
Here’s the lowdown on all things Donald Trump.
Where did Donald Trump grow up and was his family wealthy?
Donald Trump was born on June 14, 1946, and was fourth child of real estate tycoon Fred Trump.
The Trump family was wealthy and lived in a mansion in the Queens area of New York.
As a 13-year-old, Donald was sent to a military academy after he started misbehaving at school.
Now 72, he boasts that he made money “the good old-fashioned way” but he first got into real estate with a “small” $1million loan from his father and helped manage the family’s housing portfolio in the New York area.
He took control of the company in 1971 and renamed it the Trump Organisation – shifting from residential sales in Brooklyn and Queens to swanky projects in Manhattan.
The company transformed the rundown Commodore Hotel into the Grand Hyatt before developing the most famous Trump landmark, the 68-storey Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.
Mr Trump later developed hotels and casinos, a strand of the business which has led to four bankruptcy filings.
From 2004, he became a staple on US television, hosting NBC’s The Apprentice – for which he is estimated to have earned $213m (£163m) across 14 series.
What is Donald Trump’s net worth?
The US President has repeatedly bragged he is worth $10bn (£7.6bn).
But in 2018 his net worth has dropped for the second year running – this time by $100million.
According to Bloomberg this is down to falling revenue from Trump Tower and his golf courses.
In 2017, the 72-year-old crashed from 544th richest on the Forbes billionaire list to 766th.
But he still has a whopping $2.8bn to his name – the lowers since Bloomberg began tracking his wealth in 2015.
The Trump Organization, of which he serves as president and chairman, owns plush resorts, residential towers, real estates and golf courses.
These include the Trump Tower in New York, the Trump World Tower in Manhattan, the gold-plated Trump Hotel Las Vegas, a Palm Beach estate in Florida and 16 golf courses around the world including Trump Turnberry in Scotland.
President Trump declined to release his tax returns which drew criticism over the transparency of his alleged links to Russia.
His 2005 tax return was leaked to a US news station after which the White House released a statement insisting Trump had paid $38million (£31million) in income taxes during 2005 on an income of $150million (£123million).
That works out as a tax rate of 24 per cent, below the 27.4 per cent average of high-earning US taxpayers.
The pages from Trump’s federal tax return show the then-real estate mogul also reported a business loss of $103million (£84million) that year, although the documents don’t provide detail.
Trump’s hefty business loss appears to be a continued benefit from his use of a tax loophole in the 1990s, which allowed him to deduct previous losses in future years.
In 1995, Trump reported a loss of more than $900million (£736million), largely as a result of financial turmoil at his casinos.
The leaked two-paged document is only a fraction of the complete return and does not include details of Trump’s income.
Trump also splashed $54million (£38million) on his presidential campaign.
His campaign paid his companies for office space in Trump Tower and use of his private airline, among other expenses, federal election filings have shown.
What does Trump own and what has happened to his businesses since he became President?
Not everything bearing the famous Trump name is 100 per cent owned by the businessman.
Trump Organization sold its stake in Trump Entertainment Resorts in February 2017.
This company, which includes the shutdown Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza hotels and casinos in Atlantic City, is now a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises.
The 27 commercial floors and a three-floor penthouse in the flagship Trump Tower are owned by the Trump Organization which does not own the remainder of the building.
Trump also owns the rights to lease and collect rents at the 71-storey 40 Wall Street building but doesn’t own the deeds.
In total he has an interest in more than 30 properties across the US and a large portfolio of stocks and shares.
His massive business empire is now run by his sons Donald Jr and Eric along with Trump executive Allen Weisselberg.
Trump’s lawyer said the presidency has “isolated” himself from his businesses, adding he is not using his political power for his personal benefit.
The President’s stakes in the businesses will be transferred to a trust – which will be managed independently.
Mr Trump told reporters: “My two sons, who are right there, Don and Eric, are going to be running the company.
“They are going to be running it in a very professional manner. They’re not going to discuss it with me.”
His daughter Ivanka, whose husband is a senior adviser to Trump, is no longer involved in the organisation.
How many wives has Donald Trump had and who are his children?
Donald Trump has five children from three marriages. His first two marriages ended in high-profile divorces.
He married his first wife, Czech model Ivana Zelnickova in 1977 at the age of 30, when Ivana was 26.
They had three children together – Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric – between 1977 and 1984.
But the couple divorced after 15 years of marriage in 1992 after Trump had an affair with actress Marla Maples.
The Donald married Ms Marples the following year – two months after she had given birth to his fourth child Tiffany – but the pair divorced six years later in 1999.
In 2005, he married his current wife Melania – originally from Slovenia and then working as a model – and she gave birth to their son Barron a year later.
Eric and Donald Jr, who became embroiled in controversy over alleged ties to the Russian government during his father’s presidential campaign, now run The Trump Organization.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
