Trump allegedly owes banks $315 Million





United States of America President Donald Trump’s net worth initially put at $10 billion during his campaign for White House now appears to have been overblown.



Latest disclosure puts his wealth at $1.4 billion and personal liabilities of at least $315.6 million to German, U.S. and other lenders as of mid-2017.

Trump, according to a federal financial disclosure form released late on Friday by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, had roughly $20 million in income from his new marquee Washington hotel.

The hotel opened just down the street from the White House last September. Revenues also increased at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida resort known as the “Winter White House.”

Trump reported an income of at least $594 million for 2016 and early 2017 and assets worth at least $1.4 billion.

The 98-page disclosure document posted on the ethics office’s website shows liabilities for Trump of at least $130 million to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a unit of German-based Deutsche Bank AG.

For example, Trump disclosed a liability to Deutsche exceeding $50 million for the Old Post Office, a historic Washington property where he has opened a hotel.

Trump reported liabilities of at least $110 million to Ladder Capital Corp, a commercial real estate lender with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Boca Raton, Florida.

The largest component of Trump’s income is $115.9 million listed as golf-resort related revenues from Trump National Doral in Miami, down from $132 million he reported a year ago.

Income from many of his other hotels and resorts largely held steady. Revenue from Trump Corporation, his real-estate management company, nearly tripled to $18 million, and revenue from Mar-a-Lago grew by 25 percent, to $37.25 million. The private club doubled its initiation fee to $200,000 after Trump’s election.

He earned $11 million from the Miss Universe pageant, after selling the beauty contest back in 2015.

Revenue from television shows like “The Apprentice” fell to $1.1 million, down from $6 million a year earlier.

His assets probably exceeded $1.4 billion because the disclosure form provides ranges of values.

The document shows Trump held officer positions in 565 corporations or other entities before becoming U.S. president. His tenure in most of those posts ended on Jan. 19, 24 hours before his inauguration, and in others in 2015 and 2016.
