Don't forget if Don the con put his money in an index fund after inheriting it he'd as done as well or better - without taking the banks , contractors, bondholders, etc. and being involved in the lawsuits, etc

This is what we call a Miserable Failure - when a monkey and darboard would beat the returns.
So now our determination of if someone is worthy of god, is if he brags.

my determination on worthiness is if you judge others.. Hows that fit into your reply?

Being President is more important to him. His kids might be displeased since that is their inheritance but they can make up the difference after Trump's second term when the jackals (aka media) move on to another victim.

No doubt they valued real education and didn't attend KKK rallies and get arrested at them.

Bezos was somewhat abandoned by his dad (early marriage) and will have nothing to do with him. Still, the Dad ain't attending KKK rallies, etc.

You must not real much scripture or philosophy......

"Either they're a Type A personality which includes narcissism.
And/or that they're deeply insecure about themselves, and therefore, in order to avoid or repress the pain or anxiety of not being something they want to be, they exaggerate about themselves. It arises mainly due to a poor self-esteem and in some cases, certain delusional thoughts. They may believe that others will respect them or pay more attention if they talk more about themselves."

"A person who brags, is a person who seeks external validation since the individual cannot self-validate. The individual doesn’t find the inner resources to validate himself. Bragging implies an inferiority complex.
It would be absurd to see Einstein trying to show off with his intelligence, because we all know he is a genius. Einstein already received a lot of external and internal validation."

Bragging, in this sense, is not a positive mental health trait. No law against it, of course, but it is very telling.

Yes and they will need to make up the difference because it's going to be so hard for them to manage on 3 billion dollars, poor loves. Ivanka will be forced to have to skip another of her massages.

No it's not, Trump admitted he hates this job. Being rich is more important to him. He doesn't give a crap about the White House.

Trump loves to talk about the "failed" Bezo, Amazon and WaPo....yet, it looks like they are cleaning his clock:

"Experts leveled blame for Trump’s losses on Amazon. Specifically citing the lease of the Niketown store and the Trump Tower property, Dolan said that retailers are suffering—even on the high end. It would appear that Amazon’s strategy of e-commerce over brick and mortar retail is winning, and that is having an effect on real estate values, she added."

Rumors abound that Jared and Donald made some of the worst deals in NYC history about 15 years ago and a LOT of bills are coming due. He may even end up in negative territtory again and be bailed out by the Russians,

A tax return doesn't prove much about net worth.
