Has he really though? He's bankrupted Trump casino, Trump steaks, Trump University... I'd be shocked if he really had all that much money in the bank.
One issue with Trump is that we don't really know much about his finances. In particular, he crows about assets but never talks about debt. He's probably leveraged to his scalp-reduction scar.
Leveraged to Russian banks.
Trump has made over a billion dollars his first year in office this term. It’s amazing how much money you can hoard when taxpayers give it to you, businesses pay you homage, business deals just fall into your lap, and you use the government lawyers and taxpayer money to defend yourself from suits.
Don't forget the oodles of insider trading!
He just sued himself as president and then settled the case for a $230 million payout over the classified document investigation. He's also suing himself again for $10 billion over his tax returns getting leaked.
He what?
Donald Trump, the private citizen, is suing the United States Government - of which he is currently the chief executive of. Since he has the authority to direct the justice department and court settlements are paid out of taxpayer income, he can direct the attorney general to "settle" with the plaintiff (himself) and have that settlement money get funneled directly into his private bank account.
It's a scam that, if it had been performed by any other president in the history of the nation, would have been a scandal that dwarfs Watergate and led to an immediate bipartisan effort to impeach and remove the president for blatant corruption.
But since it's Trump, this is just expected of him, I guess...
Christ almighty
You can apply that last bit to about any headline in the last 12 years
Those were all before he became POTUS. Everything he has done since then has been using every single bit of power he has to funnel money to his family and friends, which then goes back to him. You don't think he's getting a kickback on all those insider stock trades on oil futures that suspiciously happened right before going into Venezuela and also happened right before going into Iran?
You are right that he probably doesn't have that much money in the bank, because it is all distributed around to insiders who will give it back to him.
You see how HE doesn't lose, even when the corp dies?
Over a billion (maybe four) in his first year of his second term for him and his family:

It's tough to tease out exactly how much and exactly who it goes to
