 Boring Billionaire
If you have a chronic insomnia problem, this book is for you. Don't waste your precious dollars investing in this book. I like his Apprentice shows, but he could have benefitted from a great ghost writer on this one.
Tedious Thoughts/Egocentric Drivel
Trump provided one amazing book (The Art of the Deal) and since then has given us one dreadful ego stroking book after another. Think Like a Billionaire provides Trump's thoughts on topics such as:
- How to Rent an Apartment
- How to Read a Classified Ad
- How to Landscape
- How to Pinch Pennies
- How to Balance Work and Romance
- The best Shirts and Antiques
- How to Be Married (ironic chapter of the decade)
If this is the variety of information you are seeking from the mind of Donald Trump then I suppose you will find some value. Otherwise, this book reads like random notes on cocktail napkins that someone found on Trump's desk.
Do not buy!!!!
If your looking for a book about a guy that's full of himself, this is it. If your looking for a book about finance, real estate and making money, this isn't it! Plus, he adds a section about The Apprentice at the end, it really didn't help me out one bit. I was really disappointed in this book, wasn't at all what I thought it would be.
Absolute rubbish
Complete waste of time and money. I wish I'd never bought it, save yourself the mistake.
 Practical? No. Fun to read? Yes!
Think like a billionaire. Not that hard to do when you are one. More difficult for the average reader I guess. But hey, aim your arrow at the moon and you'll hit the mountain. I'll settle for a million or ten.
Most of the reader reviews find this book a one-star crap thing. I strongly disagree, because you should know by know The Donald will not take you by the hand and let you make your first million.
You want good advice? Better get his first book "The Art of the Deal" which teaches you some. But thinking like a billionaire is just like writing like a billionaire; he probably had two minutes to dictate per chapter.
Despite all this, it was fun to read. What goes on in a billionaire's life and it just make you dream about being succesful as well, as long if you're not succesful already. Fun to read, crap advise. Four stars.
