Bill Zanker, founder and president of the Learning Annex, in 2005, hired Donald Trump to speak at three real estate investing seminars for US$1 million a pop(rm3.26m). Those went so well that the company proceeded to hire The Donald for another 17 seminars in 2006 and 2007 for US$1.5 million each(rm4.89m). Zanker claims that he's turned a profit on every event where admission prices top out around US$500. He also co-authored Trump's 2007 book "Think Big And Kick Ass In Business And Life". "He's worth every penny,'' Zanker says. "I've been doing this for 30 years. There is no better business speaker than Donald Trump. He attracts the biggest crowds in the world." 
Bill Clinton generated $10.2 million(rm33.25m) in speaking fees in 2006.
I still remember the very first season of The Apprentice (Trump's not Martha Stewart's). And how my uncle got me to watch it. Since that day, it was one of my MUST watch shows. Trump, whether you like him or not, is really one of a kind. I know he didn't start from scratch but look at him now. Look at his business empire. I also know he's not that rich (way way back in the Forbes list) but he has so many different types of business. Besides luxury homes, hotels, and casino, he's also a great author and motivator. His show made me looove New York City. Never mind that it has been 7 years since I last visited KL (lol) but I really really wanna go to New York. And another thing, I wrote about Trump in my SPM English paper. In the second essay. They asked to write something about an influential leader and why you like him..something like that la..I really DID NOT want to write about Mahathir. He was no more in the Office at that time. I wanted my markers to learn something different. So i wrote about Trump. lol serious. i'm not kidding.
