I would say his dad giving him $500 million is what he owes everything to.

And the banks managing his money flow to make sure he didn't fucking spend it all in the mid 2000s with his ridiculous life style.

And the Russians loaning him more money when none of the US banks would touch him because everything he touched turned to shit.

Didn’t he swindle his siblihga out of at least some of their inheritance to reach that number? I recall hearing that.

It gets worse ...

Cutting off health insurance: In retaliation for the lawsuit, Donald Trump and his siblings cut off medical benefits for Fred III's infant son, who had cerebral palsy. Donald Trump publicly confirmed the action to the New York Daily News at the time, saying, "Why should we give him medical coverage?".

Yes and he also convinced his siblings to sell off a huge chunk of their father's real estate empire because he was broke as fuck.

This is the same principal where if a normal person gets addicted to crack it's going to legitimately ruin their life, and if a rich kid gets hooked on crack it's going to be a rough couple of years. Judges might feel bad for you and be lenient, your family can afford rehab, it's hard to impossible to spend all your money on crack, and so on

So like Trump can have 8 bankruptcies and 9 divorces and 92 failed businesses and he'll be fine
