THE DONALD GOES DOWN

After 25 straight years on The Forbes 400, Donald Trump slipped off in 2021: His $2.5 billion fortune missed the cut by $400 million. Readers’ takes were piping hot. Who knew the former president could inspire such passion?

SHELLEY SEBEY:

“I’m sure he’ll call it fake news and say he’s worth more than Jeff Bezos. Heck, he might try to take credit for building Amazon.”

JEREMY SMITH:

“Finally, a politician who didn’t multiply his wealth while in office.”

@KEEZ30:

“He invested in himself, and it was a terrible investment.”

SYLWIA PAWLACZYK:

“His prior standings on that list were as legitimate as those Time magazine cover photos he had plastered around Mar-a-Lago.”

@JOE_C_GILES:

“Off The Forbes 400 and about to be on the 10 Most Wanted.”

@THEINDE72109330:

“[His net worth] was always inflated anyway. If this guy is a billionaire, then I’m Batman.”

@CRYPTONISM:

“Whatever. It doesn’t necessarily mean he made less money. It could be that some people— likethe new billionaires created by Covid— just passed him in wealth.”

@JONATHAN_777:

“Still richer than the previous 10 presidents combined.”
