Well he a billionaire so $83 million is a drop in the bucket. He’s probably got that much as change in the couch /s
“Well he a billionaire” [citation needed].
That's the beauty, his own sworn evidence that he brought in during the NY trial.
This is where worlds collide, especially if the NY judge orders the dissolution of the companies in NY, all assets will need to be moved, I bet ms Carrol's' lawyers will be standing by the sideline to make sure she gets paid.
And themselves! If they’re working on contingency they’ve got 8 figures coming their way too.
Enlightened Self-interest.
Funny thing would be that if he now claims he cannot pay, he automatically admits perjury in the other trial.
I present to you the only proof that he's a billionaire: He said so. That's valid, right? Right? Guys? Anybody?
In the instance of the court setting damages, I’m happy to accept the highest valuation Trump has to offer
In late stage capitalism, having a billion and owing three billion means you in effect still have a billion.
It's not like with normal people who have to subtract debt from assets and actually pay what we owe.
So yeah, he's a billionaire in all ways that affect him and will be until he dies, which can't happen soon enough.
83,000 would be a drop in the bucket. 83 million is more like a water bottle in a bucket.
