Hotels, resorts and a big ego
Donald Trump's newest 5-star hotel is situated in Washington's Old Post Office and is just one kilometer from the White House. It's the latest addition to the business empire of the US president-elect.
New luxury in a historic landmark
The site of the new Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC is known as the Old Post Office and Clock Tower. The historic landmark on Pennsylvania Avenue was built in 1899 and stands near the halfway point between the White House and the Capitol.
Prime property in famous buildings
Piercing through the San Francisco fog, this brownish office tower is of one of the city's well-known buildings. Situated at 555 California Street and built in 1969, the high-rise used to house the headquarters of the Bank of America. It was the tallest building on the West Coast until the Transamerica Pyramid was completed in 1972.
Golfing with a view
Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles is situated on the Pacific coast in Rancho Palos Verdes, just a 30 minute drive from downtown LA. It is not only used for golfing but also as a film and photo location for movies and commercials.
Trump just loves real estate
"It's tangible, it's solid, it's beautiful. It's artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate," Donald Trump wrote in one of his posts on Twitter. But his business empire contains more than luxury hotels, golf resorts and high-rise office buildings.
Empire and Success
Trump's merchandise includes fragrances like Empire; a scent "for the confident man determined to make his mark with passion, perseverance and drive." Success by Trump, on the other hand, promises to be an inspiring blend of fresh juniper and iced red currant, "brushed with hints of coriander." Other aromas include "a masculine combination of rich vetiver, tonka bean, birchwood and musk."
Making money with good looks
Trump Models, "the brainstorm and vision of owner, Donald Trump," is based in New York City. One of the agency's models is Hong Kong-born Mia Kang. This year, the Korean-British model has been voted winner of Sports Illustrated’s 2016 global model search contest.
Casinos
Trump inaugurated the Trump Taj Mahal casino and hotel complex on the famous Boardwalk in Atlantic City in 1990. But after years of ownership changes, it closed on Oct. 10.
'Debts and opaque ties'
According to the New York Times, Trump's real estate empire in the US is "a maze of debts and opaque ties" - his companies having "at least $650 million in debt." However, Trump's latest hotel development in the Old Post Office Tower is the third-tallest building in the US capital, and likely a prime location for his inauguration party.
