Trump’s Money Game: A Bumpy Ride
Let’s talk about Donald Trump, the guy with the buildings and the former big chair in the White House. Well, his wallet had a bit of a rollercoaster ride this year. His real estate game wasn’t as strong, and he’s been wrestling with some legal stuff. Now, his money stack is at about $2.6 billion. Sounds like a lot, right? But it’s just not enough to get him into the Forbes billionaire list. It’s kind of like trying to squeeze into those old jeans that don’t fit anymore – frustrating!
Kardashian’s Close Call: From Reality TV to Billions>
Now, let’s shift gears to Kim Kardashian. Remember her from reality TV? Well, she did something pretty unique in 2021. She started this shapewear brand called Skims, making her a billionaire. But here’s the twist: she missed the Forbes 400 bus by a whisker. Her fortune is sitting around $1.7 billion, which is nothing to sneeze at, but it’s just below the $2.9 billion needed to join the Forbes 400 party. Imagine you’re one inch away from catching a winning touchdown – that’s how close she came.
These missing stars, Trump and Kardashian, are making us scratch our heads. We know them for their glitz and glamour, but this time, they didn’t quite hit the bullseye.
Oh, and did I mention Oprah Winfrey and Jay-Z? Despite having pockets full of cash, these icons didn’t make the Forbes 400 club either. Oprah’s got a cool $2.8 billion, and Jay-Z’s rocking a solid $2.5 billion. It’s like having a winning lottery ticket, but it’s missing just one number – so close, yet not close enough.
The 2023 Forbes billionaire list is like a spotlight on how wealth in America keeps shifting. Sometimes, even the biggest names in the game can’t catch a break. It resembles a game of musical chairs, where not everyone secures a seat when the music stops. Trump, Kardashian, Oprah, and Jay-Z might not be in this year’s Forbes 400 club, but who knows what the future holds?
