Everyone knows that TV’s meanest and richest man is Simon Cowell, the mastermind from “Idol”, the most watched and profitable show on TV. Most people would never believe that Donald Trump comes in second according to a Forbes list of the richest men in prime-time television. According to the magazine, Trump rakes in $50 million a year from TV. The one factor that sets Donald Trump apart from every other successful man on the list is that Donald doesn’t just appear on “Apprentice”, he owns it with reality producer Mark Burnett. The show has also expanded internationally with local versions in England, Italy, France and South America. Mr. Trump not only gets paid for his on screen time, but he and Mark Burnett split the millions of dollars the shows make each season as each commercial airs, with product sponsors such as Zappos.com, Loews Hotels and Chicken of the Sea.
Trump also reaps millions from his books and the presentations and speeches he makes internationally, and also has lent his name to everything from alcohol to neck ties. His new reality show, ''Omarosa's Ultimate Merger''was just announced this week. The outspoken diva and real estate mogul are reuniting, even though Mr. Trump reportedly can barely stand Omarosa, who was voted top TV reality villain by TV Guide. The show’s drama and intrigue will be built around Omarosa finding a mate among 12 eligible bachelors, who are challenged both on relationship and business issues, until one battered survivor stands triumphant.
One of Donald Trump’s other new ventures has been quietly building steam out of the headlines. Thousands have already joined the Trump Network, a unique marketing opportunity, designed to make people healthier with customized vitamins and nutritional supplements, and to encourage individuals to become entrepreneurs and to take control of their financial well-being. Can you imagine the benefits these individuals will receive as Donald Trump sets out to create one million millionaires globally? What would happen if some of the commercial time for his popular TV shows was used to promote the Trump Network and the benefits were reaped by everyday people instead of corporations? Personally, I’m seeing a perfect storm here for creating a much brighter financial future and I have been successfully building my business with some of the company's strongest leaders, surfing the pre-launch wave. The Trump Network officially launches on November 12th, 2009. I’d be happy to share information on both the Trump Network and why working with my team is the best choice.
