At the age of 25, Trump obtained his first property from a cash-strapped transportation company, and later sold it to the government for a substantial profit, as the future site of New York City’s new convention center. Trump’s other famous properties include the Trump Tower in New York, and the Taj Mahal and Trump Castle in Atlantic City. Known for his intimidating negotiating tactics, especially his ability to win lucrative tax abatement deals, Trump has made fortunes in residential and commercial real estate.
