      Trump Sells Mansion for $100M

      The real estate market may be slumping, but not for Donald Trump, who sold his Palm Beach mansion to a Russian fertilizer billionaire for $100 million, the AP reports. It's the most ever paid for a US estate, a spokesman claims. "In an age of so many people getting hurt in real estate, it shows that you can still do well in real estate," the Donald told the AP.

      NYC Biz Leaders Search for Next Mayor/CEO

      New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will vacate his office in 18 months, the New York Times reports, and local business honchos are already hunting for a replacement candidate who shares Bloomberg's financial independence and city-as-a-business approach. "What the business community wants is not just a businessman but a Bloomberg-type businessman, who is not beholden to special interests," said one corporate bigwig. More »

      Trump Sues Over Israeli Condo Deal

      Nobody makes a sucker out of Donald Trump…at least not without getting sued. Trump is taking an Israeli condo developer to court, saying the company profited off his name without giving him a cut. The developers made a deal to build a 70-story Trump Plaza residential and commercial tower on property they bought for $44 million, and agreed to send its namesake 25% of the sale price of each unit. But instead they flipped the site for a cool $36 million profit. More »

      NBC Sacks OJ for Apprentice

      Donald Trump won't have the chance to hire—or fire—OJ Simpson on the upcoming season of Celebrity Apprentice , E! Online reports. The ex-footballer, awaiting trial on kidnap and robbery charges, had approached Trump about a spot in the show, but he never got to the 10-yard line, said an NBC rep. Trump was big on the idea "for a few minutes"—but the studio wouldn't consider it. More »

People reports that Trump wants Dupre for his new MTV reality show, said to be a sort of "My Fair Lady" competition. “She is an interesting candidate, very interesting," sayeth the Donald. More »

      Scottish Isle Longs for the Donald

      Donald Trump has a fan base in the residents of his Scottish mother's tiny birthplace, and they're waiting for his homecoming. The real estate baron has been trumpeting his roots and making trips to Scotland in hopes of building a $2.5 billion luxury golf course in Aberdeen. His plans have met with resistance, but the Isle of Lewis would dearly love to host the project. More »

      Pack Up Your Clubs, Scotland Tells Trump

      Scottish officials want the Donald to take his golf clubs and go home. A council panel in Scotland today rejected Trump's plans to build a $1 billion golf resort, the Guardian reports. Trump can appeal to higher authorities, but he might just be miffed enough to walk away. "This sends a message that if you want to do business, don't come to the northeast of Scotland," griped a spokesman. More »

      Housing Slump Tarnishes Trump Name

      Proving no one is safe from the housing market downdraft, Donald Trump is experiencing some turbulence as tightening credit saps demand and leaves a few Trump Towers in the lurch. Two Florida projects with Trump's name have halted construction—even after one collected deposits from buyers—and a third may soon. A Toronto project suffered years of delays and a downsizing, and 30% of Trump Tower Chicago remains unsold. More »

      Atlantic City Trumps The Donald

      Donald Trump's casinos are faltering in Atlantic City, the very seaboard Vegas the flamboyant developer helped build in the 80s and 90s.  The Taj Mahal is still flush, but Trump's two other hotels are last in revenues. And analysts aren't betting on them, thanks in part to the share the city is losing to slot parlors in NYC and Philly. More »
