Who says I'm a millionaire?

NEW YORK - Who wants to be a millionaire? Not Donald Trump, a self-professed billionaire.

Who says I'm a millionaire ?
The real estate mogul and reality TV star said on Tuesday that he had filed a lawsuit against author Timothy O'Brien for pegging his net worth at no more than US$250 million (S$405.3 million).

Trump, who is known for his reality show The Apprentice, sued O'Brien and his publisher, Warner Books, for defamatory statements in the book, TrumpNation: The Art Of Being The Donald.

At issue is Trump's net worth, which O'Brien reported was US$150 million to US$250 million, citing three people with direct knowledge of his finances.

Trump contends that his net worth is at least US$2.7 billion. He said the suit seeks US$5 billion in compensatory and punitive damages from Warner and O'Brien, a New York Times reporter who covered Trump's businesses for more than a decade.

'I believe it is important to expose irresponsible, malicious and false reporting,' Trump said in a statement.

A Warner Books spokesman said Trump had participated extensively and willingly in O'Brien's research for the book and the author was willing to meet Trump at any time to discuss its merits.

Trump has a point. A few hundred million here, a few hundred million there and soon you're talking about real money.

(realistically lowering his net worth will make hus reputation as a shrewd investor suffer, he gets less credibility and the spiral continues. I don't blame him for being pissed)

Wondering if Donald Trump wins the battle who will be able to pay 5 billion dollar compensation.

I think all he's really after is a retraction, although it is defamatory so he might actually get some dough depending on the publicatiion's sources.



Hmm, how about you defame me, I'll sue you for one billion and we'll spliut the diff. deal?

In a recent interview on public radio, George Clooney was asked : 'if you could change one thing for someone, what would it be?' and without missing a beat he said: 'Donald Trump's hair'.

I think he's got himself a bit lost and should be directed back to the "Lets ask a silly SIA question" thread
