So he has millions. But is he a billionaire?
Probably not and this is probably what he’s trying to hide.

It was said that before he was president he would only talk to the press if they agreed not to ask him about his wealth. He has fostered a brand of vulgar* displays of wealth, IIRC you can pay to tour his suite and he shows off a gold toilet. Of course if you understand how wealthy the elites in New York are you know that Trump is on the lower end.
*Protestant cultures tend to frown on displays of wealth. Even the richest tend to dress the same as a modest businessman.
That being said there may well be accounting tricks going on or maybe not but he may not want the scrutiny, we have all seen how frivolously complaints can gain traction if they are against the "right" people.
