Most of the real estate accrues in value, although not even Trump bats a thousand. My point was that all those assets eat. Estates pay huge taxes, require expensive upkeep, have huge staffs. Private jets require hangers, maintenance, security, pilots, mechanics, stewardesses. Dozens of limos requires drivers, mechanics, car washers, licenses. As far as the company and not Trump personally, there's not much difference as it's a privately held company, not a public company. Trump owns it all. He is essentially a holding company that owns individual incorporated ventures, which allows him to sell off or bankrupt an unsuccessful venture without endangering the balance of his empire.
