History of Donald Trump’s family

The public history of the Trump family begins with Trump’s grandparents. Fredrick Trump came to the US in 1885 (as Fredrich Trumpf) and became a wealthy businessman after setting up a brothel called “The Dairy House” in Seattle. From there Trump became a restauranteur, real estate speculator, brothel owner, and even a politician. He returned to Germany in 1901 and married Elizabeth Christ. They returned to New York the next year. There he purchased more land, as well as changed the family name from “Trumpf” to “Trump” to avoid World War 1 discrimination towards Germans. Fredrick passed away in 1918, leaving his wife and family with sizeable assets. Elizabeth used these to open “Elizabeth Trump & Son.” The company that would later evolve into the modern “Trump Organization.”

Elizabeth had a knack for real estate, and her and her son Fred expanded the business. He in turn handed the organization over to his son Donald. The company currently has three Trumps, Donald’s children, listed as Executive Vice Presidents. The fourth generation of Trumps will presumably continue the family business once Donald steps down.

Biography: Donald Trump’s Background

Donald John Trump was born in 1949 in Queens to Fred and Mary Trump. His mother was born in Scotland, making Donald of German and Scottish decent. He was brought up in the wealthy Trump family and attended New York Military School. After high school, Trump attended the Wharton Business School at the prestigious University of Pennsylvania while also working for his father’s real estate company. In 1971 Donald took control of Elizabeth Trump & Son, and renamed it “The Trump Organization.” Today it employs over 20,000 workers, and while it’s hard to pin down exactly how much the conglomerate is worth, Donald owns 100 percent of shares and is said to be personally worth over $4 billion dollars.
