Here at FORBES, we've been tracking Donald Trump's wealth since the inaugural Forbes 400 rich list in 1982.
Today, we value him at $2.7 billion, although he claims he's worth far more. One question we're often asked when talk turns to Trump's fortune: how can a man who has been bankrupt so many times remain a multi-billionaire? How is he worth more now, post-bankruptcies?

"Corporations, limited partnerships, and LLCs in which he had an ownership interest or companies that had his name attached have filed for bankruptcy," said Michael Viscount of Atlantic City law firm Fox Rothschild LLP, who represented unsecured creditors when Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, as it was then called, filed for Chapter 11 protection in 2004. "Therein lies the big distinction.” (See: Trump Exaggerating His Net Worth (By 100%) In Presidential Bid) He did take a personal hit the first time
