Donald Trump built his wealth through estate investments and development. He also ventured into entertainment, including his popular show The Apprentice and his new social media app Truth Social, which recently went public via a SPAC merger and now trades as Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. DJT.

New York State of Mind
Alexander's ALX is a REIT that leases, manages, develops, and redevelops properties in New York. Its portfolio consists of five properties in greater New York City, including 731 Lexington Avenue, the Rego Center, and The Alexander apartment tower.

Alexander’s has maintained its current $18 annual dividend rate since 2018, making it a very reliable source of income to go with the potential price appreciation in its world-class assets over the long term.
