  TLDR: Fred Trump was a slumlord.

  Saved you a click: he was the top performer at the dick sucking factory and ge got away with more overtime fraud than the NYPD so he made like $300,000 a year. His son grew up to have an even sadder life where he had to pay others just to be within 20 meters of him.

  Interesting;

  Bavarian authorities had ordered Friedrich to leave as he was suspected of having moved to America in 1885 to avoid military service.

  OP, come on, this is from a crap website called Love Money It’s overwhelmingly likely that it was written entirely or predominantly by an LLM at worst or researched by skimming Wikipedia at best.

  For context, Yahoo! News is two things:

  • Yahoo! News is a real thing that employs its own writers. It’s hosted on news.yahoo.com.
  • news.yahoo.com also syndicates news. This ranges from highly professional and credible to bottom-of-the-barrel slop. Effectively, news.yahoo.com will host anything as long as it gets clicks, and those clicks ride on the idea that people see Yahoo! News and think it sounds vaguely credible.

  Me thinks this article uses some strange information math:

  In 1923, Elizabeth loaned her son $800 – the equivalent of around $14,000…

  He used that money to build a home for the equivalent of $7k and sold it for a profit. You can’t build a garage for $7k today, let alone a home.
