The Money Project aims to use intuitive visualizations to explore ideas around the very concept of money itself. Founded in 2015 by Visual Capitalist and Texas Precious Metals, the Money Project will look at the evolving nature of money, and will try to answer the difficult questions that prevent us from truly understanding the role that money plays in finance, investments, and accumulating wealth.

The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich. These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.

The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.

[@GraceAmber369]

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.

I like how there's so much that's conveniently left out of the failure part and the part about the small million dollar loan , you lost me on that one and you completely forgot the fact that Merv Griffin sold Trump the Atlantic City property and in the process totally got his clock cleaned Merv Griffith who ended up with Trump's properties in the Bahamas pretty much free. The art of the deal can be a beautiful thing just not for Donald Trump AKA the king of debt

[@LDTOK-zs8oz]

Also, they are pushing the narrative that Trump is a billionaire. The Forbes list started in 1981 and Trump was worth 5 million dollars and you had to be worth at least 135 million to be on the list. So Roy Cohn told Forbes that Trump was worth 135 million which was his fathers net worth and that his Father was worth 5 million. Also from 1985 to 1994 his IRS tax transcript showed that Trump had a net lost of 1.9 Billion Dollars during that time period. So he was never wealthy enough to be on the Forbes list. More smoke screen and mirrors.

[@alexmousley7213]

The irony of the Art of the Deal is that TRump didn't write it, too!

People seem to forget that he inherited his father's wealth when his father died, which in the video states was worth 300 million at the time of his death.

[@jacquelinestapleton9490]

Trump lost every penny of the inheritance as well as the inheritance he stole from other family members. Trump was able to stay afloat regardless of the 4 bankruptcies by laundering money for Russian oligarchs, with assistance from Deutsche Bank. Quite profitable for the rapist and traitor.

he also stole his brothers inheritance. Mary trump was swindled. too late she got it and she sued but she signed her name that was that. trump signs his name means nothing but her it meant everything.

[@Paddysavage4738]

No he did not. He borrowed 1 Million to get started. All of the siblings received a substantial amount from the Estate “after State Tax and Death Taxes” which you conveniently forgot to mention.

They passed a law stating that a minority could no longer own land of a certain value and in certain district. They forced him to sell or just outright took the property. They then passed a law he could only sell and service Ice boxes in black Communities, then the local government imposed a tax on minority business's not white owned or shared. When he and my grandfather went to the government for a loan , even after serving his country , he was denied, despite "whites" with less credit worthiness or success received loans over him. He still carried on never complained and made the best of it sending his great-grand children up north to colleges.

[@cj4503]

Thomas Ellison; that's pretty inflammatory of you to say it's an "idiotic" criticism, especially when there are real facts and considerations used to make it. Your counterpoint that 'any rich person would be richer than they are now if they invested in index funds' seems odd to me. Index funds are a passive investment wherein you can never outperform the benchmark. One of the key points of investing is to beat the benchmark (think Warren Buffet, George Soros, Carl Icahn). If Trump can't do that, then perhaps it's indicative of poor investment abilities. I think many people will think it's a fair criticism in the same way that many people would think that a lot of people could do better than Trump if given the same starting point. If you absolutely refuse to entertain that notion for whatever reason, fine, but I'd encourage you to try and substantiate your own view a bit more. Incidentally, Mark Zuckerberg started with less and is richer than Trump. If the hallmark of success is how rich a person became, why don't we have him run for president?

I like this video, very unbiased and just said the truth about trump

[@Quagigitymire]

The truth huh? It may have some truth, but it's very vague and leaves out a shit load of truths and the reality of his "successes" which pretty much always ended up as massive failures for his investors. That big win, the grand hyatt hotel he sold in 96, it was leveraged to the fullest extent possible and the only reason it was able sell it was because he unloaded it at 100 million dollars over the true appraisal value to the publicly traded company he had started with investor money he duped out of people thinking his name still had value and he was still a wealthy man. He shifted his own personal debts onto the investors in a fashion that would likely be considered criminal today. It was this scheme that started the utter destruction of his publicly traded company tanking the share value from a solid $35 per share to a next to worthless 17 cents per share. Knowing this would be the result of his scheme he almost instantly began his move to depart from this doomed company the day he screwed over every single investor, the day he finalized the sale of his massive liability, the leveraged hotel. He pocketed just over 56 million dollars on that deal even after the sale being $100 million above the true value of the property, but ended up costing his investors over a billion dollars and he was gone from the company by his own doing (he was fleeing the scene of the crime) in just shy of 6 months and already had the lawyers filing his 3rd bankruptcy protecting him from any financial blow back caused by his scum bag ass scheme. This is not even close to the only shady ass shit thing he has done to screw those who invested in him. He has forced his creditors to sue him so many times that he can't even get a loan from any banks here in America any more. They know he's a dead beat who won't pay and who will force them to sue him costing them a lot more money and allowing him to once again simple file bankruptcy. His Washington D.C. hotel he bragged about so much during the latter part of his campaign was only able to be done because he was able to secure a $100 million loan from a foreign bank only after signing over his entire stake as collateral and agreeing to an unheard off, absolutely insane 14% interest rate! This is the man who claimed he will be the best jobs president ever because he will run our government like he does his business! The only thing he has ever succeed at was owning property his father basically purchased for him because he was confident in the future of the investment. This is the man we elected to the highest office of the country!

But giving away money by government for free is the biggest sin.as its repurcurssion is citizens soleley dependent on government help,lazy citizens.this is not a right thing to do. But the failure of banks and other companies like freddie may, lee man brothers etc. Is ok untill it give away millions of dollars of incentives to presidents vice-president,executives rather than paying of employees who lost job or who deposited money or bought shares.this is unethical.

If they are low investment pushes, then it doesn't matter if they failed or not. maybe of them could just be pet projects. Also, for every one success an entrepreneur makes he's going to need about twelve failures. That's just a nice little rule of thumb when thinking about business.

He only became known after his major success at the Grand Hyatt. He also struggled early on because the mayor of New York (Ed Koch) absolutely hated the Trump family and tried blocking them from government funding for a while.

He actually hasn't been fulfilling his duties, leaving them with Pence. In fact, his approach with foreign dignitaries also including him trying to expand his business with them. To add to this, he refused to have staff other than him, and his "blind trust leader" Ivanka in attendance of the meeting. To add to this, he also wishes to have two of his sons, which are part of his blind trust, given "the highest security clearance" perpetuating his intent that he is not relinquishing control of his money to his children, in fact, they will be part of the negotiations with foreign entities. This is, arguably, a conflict of interest that is listed within our constitution involving two separate parts, which imply that he is not to accept money from foreign states or persons of foreign government. This is an investment into his wealth. And a good reason not to accept the, rather menial, salary that the President would have, as he would have to list all his assets publicly as per federal law.

[@blazetownsend8785]

Actually, he has to attend these as he is responsible for the transition. Though true, he has not actually been elected yet. That doesn't happen till December 19th. There is also evidence that tampering happened in favor of Trump. He does not assume the power till January. This seriously is the time frame, where, like most new jobs, they tell you how the job is done, his training period. That's what this transition is about. Those are his duties, just like listening to the security meetings that involve the wellbeing of our nation. Does he have to listen to them. Nope. But he should actually listen, because he is daft, and needs as much info as he can to actually do his job. Besides that, I think you assumed allot. Read my statement again, you jumped to some conclusions. Also, I think it's fine to defect on a defective president. As a democracy, we the people, have the right to name, appoint, and even impeach our elected officials. Seriously, we vote for the people who vote for the president and for who would vote them off. Admit-ably, less populated states, have more power than larger states in this. I do not kid myself, just so you know. It's a history that we need to correct, not accept.

You personally be wrong. Timeout, Grandpaw had 500K. Dad had 250 mil Trump has 10 billion (I believe Trump not Establishment Forbes and Clinton Supporter Bloomberg).

[@kalinwang1]

Clinton made 150 million being in politics. I believe your statment is more fitting for her.

[@Officialsearch21]

kalinwang1 What I referring to is passive income and the amount of losses one can take. Back then you were allowed to take more losses than you actually invested in. Many rich people dumped massive amount of cash in bad companies to have carry forwards for future tax years. Today you can only take losses to the amount your invested in and ONLY in passive activity. So if you quit an activity that you have losses in you have 5 years to carry that forward into a new activity or its gone forever. What Donald trump did was exactly that. I can't blame him since it wasn't illegal at the times but it most definitely helps to write off some losses you actually didn't loss. I'm not even sure how both of your comments are relevant to tax regulation but giving you a benefit of the doubt I explained what my original post meant. And personally, so just as long as money is in the bank not being used it really doesn't mean anything. It just shows that his companies pay little dividend if not nothing at all which proves his companies profit are held in retained earnings and not focused into grabbing the attention of current and potential investors. an addition, having money the bank is great but if its not active and just sitting there its just money sitting there and not growing and has not fight against inflation. "10 Billion" if that, I think its less, was just cash he slowly saved up to remain in the billionaires list. I believe a Billionaire is someone who continuously makes a Billion dollars either in a calendar year or a Fiscal year. I don't think he makes close to that. As an investor we want to see how profits are this year compared to last year, did you meet your goal? exceed it or fall short? Is your company actually growing? are you paying dividends? Are benefits matching companies performance? Things you should ask not how much do you have in the bank? as a banker yes, as an investor no.

LAUS art trump is a real estate developer. most of his assets are real estate. when you own a piece of real estate, you have the say of its value --- not forbes. unless donald trump put up everything he owns for sale and listed the prices, it's impossible for forbes to have an anywhere-near accurate account of the worth of donald trump. also, if forbes had decent researchers they wouldn't block people from coming to their site who are using adblock, because they'd know that most people would just bounce off the site. and that's exactly what's happening.
