Former President Donald Trump slammed Forbes for leaving him out of the list of 400 richest people in America, which includes Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and even Michael Jordan.
It takes $2.9 billion to make the “definitive” Forbes 400 list, according to Forbes. After accounting for calculated net worth, the former U.S. president was allegedly just shy of the mark at $2.6 billion. Surprisingly, even NBA superstar Michael Jordan, the first-ever athlete to make the list, is worth more than the long-standing businessman, Donald Trump.
Forbes said Trump was simply “lying about his net worth.” https://t.co/mmx6I82hQn

“For years Forbes has attacked me with really dumb writers assigned to hit me hard, and I am now up 60 Points on the Republicans, and beating Crooked Joe by a lot. So much for Forbes!” Trump said on the social media platform, Truth. According to the former president, the outlet has no idea what it is talking about and “lost most of its relevance long ago.” (RELATED: ‘His Odds Get Better’: Trump Trending Ahead Of Biden In Key Battleground States, Nationwide)
The timely omitting of Trump comes amid his current lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James, who claims the former president has inflated his net worth, the value of his companies, and properties whilst defrauding his business partners, according to The Hill.
Trump says the claims against him are a “scam” designed to tear down his personal and professional integrity, stating the case is “a continuation of the single greatest witch hunt of all time.”
