1. Be born into a wealthy family. Otherwise, stop reading my book now.
2. See Rule number 1.
3. Consolidate your wealth by marrying into more wealth. Otherwise, stop reading my book now.
4. See Rules 1 and 3.
5. Have a full domestic staff - to include maids, cooks, nannies, drivers, and personal assistants. Otherwise, stop reading my book now.
6. See Rules 1, 3, and 5.
7. Being me is hard but I managed it by following Rules 1, 3, and 5.
* That's "New" in the sense that I am not so much recycling an idea as I am up-cycling it! And we should all strive to reuse the resources we have and turn what's old into something beautiful again! Something we can be proud of! Be Green - like Money!
Otherwise, stop reading my book now.

(82,383 posts)Is there any person who would seriously buy that book? Where did she get the nerve to have it published? (No effort involved in that. It was likely done on the strength of her name and that's all).

(9,519 posts)like them, mostly self made individuals, so i think it will sell a few copies. But an awesome review.

(90,803 posts)I also think Trump Org. will buy the books by the caseload and place them in his various holdings, where members of foreign governments can take the hint to buy his daughter's book.
With a large markup, of course.

She actually thinks her limited world view is new and exciting.

(47,770 posts)In recently released government financial disclosures it was revealed that the "author" and her husband possess a net worth of 740 million dollars and yet a mere portion of the profit from this book goes to charity?!?
For that fact alone this book deserves one lousy star.

It looks like once again, a Trump is using the White House as a way to make money. A bunch of shameless grifters.
