That's just not the case - if you assume he bought in during a low point you'll get a much higher figure.

Besides, there's no claim that he was given anywhere close to $400M over 60 years ago, nor can anyone be realistically expected to invest their inheritance starting at the age of 12.

Trump inherited most of it in 2000 when his mother died. He had money before that from gifts though.
