Donald was the fourth of five children of Fred Trump, a wealthy real estate developer based in New York City. Donald was strongly influenced by his father in his eventual goals to make a career in real estate development,[3] and upon his graduation from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, Donald Trump joined his father's company, The Trump Organization.

Starting with the renovation of the Commodore Hotel into the Grand Hyatt with the Pritzker family, he continued with Trump Tower in New York City and several other residential projects. Trump would later expand into the airline industry (buying the Eastern Shuttle routes),[4] and Atlantic City casino business, including buying the Taj Mahal Casino from the Crosby family, then taking it into bankruptcy.
I believe that Trump did and continues to work very hard, but he also had a huge head start in terms of education, connections and family fortune compared with the average person.  http://en.wikipedia.org/w...mp#cite_note-bio-2  http://www.biography.com/...les/Donald-Trump-9511238

According to this and other posts, Donald's father Fred Trump was worth about $200 million: http://askville.amazon.co...?requestId=4645983  In any case, take the Internet with a grain of salt, but remember that Donald Trump is a master at PR and self-promotion.
