Don't get me started

He's a self-proclaimed multi-billionaire that's spent tons to make sure everyone knows it. Those tax returns would probably show a rich man but not 4x billions. A life of spending money to make people think you're awesome would probably make most of you think he was awesome and it worked.

He inherited a fortune that was worth maybe hundreds of millions of dollars decades ago. Not knowing exactly where he stands right now it could be somewhat impressive but not really self made or it could just be an at least he didn't totally frick up his incredible advantages. That money he inherited was going to grow into tres commas as long as he wasn't a total frick up. A lot of it would have to be speculative because total information isn't publicly available, but it is a reasonable conclusion that at least he didn't underperform market averages.

ETA: Regardless, either way you look at it, trying to spin him as this "self made man" is a remarkably, ludicrous spin, and I can't really believe that even anyone who tries to push that idea actually believes it themselves.
