Trump Organization worth one tenth of value previously reported



The Trump Organization in New York is reportedly worth one tenth of the value it previously claimed. 

Donald Trump’s family business had previously ranked near the top of Crain’s New York Business’ list of largest privately held companies.

But this year it has fallen from number three to number 40 after the President disclosed the organisation’s revenue to federal regulators. 

While the Trump Organization claimed $9.5bn (£7.2bn) in sales last year, Mr Trump’s public filings suggest revenues of less than a tenth of that amount, between $600m (£450m) and $700m (£530m).

“It was obviously important to Donald to have his company at the top of the list and I don’t know why he felt that way but the numbers that he presented are just flagrantly untrue,” Aaron Elstein said.
