Fair point, but perhaps approach it from a different perspective. Her father did not even complete grade school, but built a highly respected empire in a field most people would not think much about. He lives frugally and champions diligence. His children (and children-in-law) also live by admirable principles.

As a legacy, it is grounded in good principles. You take and you give back. The wealth follows, but is secondary. It is inspiring to see leaders in this class, no matter if they accumulate millions or billions.

The hyperbolic attitude, I think, makes a world of difference, and makes a terrible comparison.

Ok point taken. But Fred Trump was similar to her father, i don't think he went to college.

Perhaps i am inspired by people that are successful, but much more by people like Mark Cuban, who came from nothing. Much harder and merits much, much more respect.
