Trump says he made almost $560 million last year

Trump claims he is worth more than $10 billion – these records neither confirm or deny that claim, because asset values are reported in large ranges.

Donald Trump’s biggest money-maker is still his Miami-area golf resort – which brought more than twice as much money for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee last year than the year before.

There have been many questions surrounding Donald Trump’s mysterious but vast wealth.

Trump has been under fire for declining to release his tax returns, which would offer much more specific documentation of his income and tax payments than the FEC form.

The filing also discloses changes in Trump’s role within his shell companies.

“I have built an incredible company and have accumulated one of the greatest portfolios of real estate assets, many of which are considered to be among the finest and most iconic properties in the world”, he added.

The Miss Universe Pageant, which Trump sold after his comments on Mexican immigrants led to a dispute with television networks, went for $49 million.

Hillary Clinton also released her financial disclosure form, saying she earned more than $5 million in royalties from her 2014 memoir and some $1.5 million delivering speeches. This year Trump reported a number of new loans and mortgages, and he now has a total of at least five loans for $50 million or more. What the document also doesn’t reveal is whether or not Trump’s businesses have suffered due to his controversial campaign trail statements, nor does it provide a picture of how much he pays in taxes or donates to charity.

In a statement, Trump dinged Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders for requesting an extension on his own “small report”. Based on the minimum value of all his loans on his most recent financial disclosure, he owes creditors a minimum of $315 million, which is $50 million more than he reported owing creditors past year.

Trump National Doral once again made more revenue for Trump than any other of his almost 150 businesses: $131,892,107 according to a personal financial disclosure form made public Wednesday.

He also resigned from about one dozen companies since a year ago, most of which do not appear to have been active.
