Or maybe he marks himself to model. I'm not sure what you'd call this:
"My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feeling," [Donald Trump] told lawyers in the December 2007 deposition.
That's from a Wall Street Journal dispatch on Trump's suit over defamation. The real estate mogul claims he was libeled in 2005 when an author put his net worth at between $150 and $200 million instead of the billions he claims to be worth.
However Trump counts up his fortune, he's itching for damages in large nominal terms. He predicted in an interview with the Journal that "the publishing company will pay me hundreds of millions of dollars." The paper says that the author, Timothy O'Brien, declined to comment on the ongoing court case.
