Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. 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 took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. 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.
Netflix Co-Founder Reed Hastings Donates $7 Million Toward Kamala Harris’ Presidential Campaign
variety.comTodd Spangler NY Digital Editor Reed Hastings, executive chairman of Netflix, donated $7 million to a super PAC supporting VP Kamala Harris‘ presidential election campaign — the largest single campaign contribution the streaming mogul has ever made, Variety has confirmed. “After the depressing debate, we are in the game again,” Hastings told tech-business publication The Information, which first reported the news of his donation.
A rep for Netflix declined to comment. In the wake of Biden’s faltering performance in the June 27 debate, Hastings was among Hollywood figures to call for President Biden to exit the 2024 race so Democrats could defeat Donald Trump.
This Monday, the Netflix exec posted posted on X, “Congrats to Kamala Harris — now it is time to win.” Biden announced Sunday he was suspending his 2024 reelection campaign and endorsed Harris to run in his place.
Harris’ campaign has raised more than $130 million since then. Hastings cofounded Netflix in 1997. He stepped down as CEO after serving in the role for 25 years.
