Trump's tumble
特朗普排名下滑
Forbes attributed the US president's slide down the list to the sluggish6 Manhattan property market, which is responsible for a disproportionate amount of his wealth.
福布斯》认为,特朗普排名下滑是因为纽约曼哈顿房地产市场疲软导致其身家缩水。
"Forty percent of Donald Trump's fortune is tied up in Trump Tower and eight buildings within one mile of it," Forbes said.
福布斯称:“特朗普大厦及其附近1英里内的8栋建筑占特朗普全部身价的四成。”
The magazine also said that his wealth was hit by $66m in political spending on his successful presidential campaign, as well as $25m to settle litigation he allegedly ripped off students at Trump University.
福布斯》还表示,特朗普为了成功竞选总统花了大约6600万美元的政治经费,这也是他身家下滑的原因之一。同时,特朗普因为涉嫌坑骗特朗普大学的学生而被起诉,因此花费2500万美元达成诉讼和解。
