    The IRS should’ve also overstated the taxes they need to collect from him so they match.

      It’s just a slightly poor headline. The article says

      the AG alleged that Trump’s net worth in any given year between 2011 and 2021 was overstated by $1.9 billion to $3.6 billion.

      I think changing “per” to “each” should fix the headline. Meaning the net worth inflation was up to $3.6B and happened every year.

      Probably about tree-fiddy.

      But seriously, the dude’s wealth is imaginary. He’s so deep in debt, and so over-leveraged on all his properties, it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that an honest accounting of everything would show his actual wealth to be negative.

      All the grifts, the cons, the bullshit businesses… and in the end, he’s a poor man trying to play rich man and hoping his marks never catch on.

      there’s no way his real net worth is positive… the guy can’t even get a loan in the US because his credit is so bad…

      he’s like a degenerate gambler… maybe some days he’s up, but most days he’s just digging himself deeper…
