...those Manhattan skyscrapers, notably Trump Tower, "the ultimate piece of property," a Fifth Avenue glitzshop-and-condo palace, with an 80-ft. waterfall splashing down the pink marble walls of the atrium, that cost $200 million to build in 1982; Trump Plaza, a 37-story East 61 Street castle that has housed, among others, Dick Clark and Martina Navratilova; and Trump Parc, a 37-story caravansary that was once the Barbizon-Plaza Hotel, overlooking Central Park...
...those Atlantic City gambling casinos, notably Trump Plaza and Trump's Castle.

Trump says he will donate his estimated $1.5 million in royalties to United Cerebral Palsy, the American Cancer Society and AIDS research (his overall donations to charity run about $4 million a year). The success of the book has inspired Random House to offer a reported $3 million for a sequel...
