Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School.

He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
