Mary Trump says Ivana and Donald gave her a three-pack of underwear for Christmas one year, and an obviously re-gifted basket of crackers, sardines and salami another year (with an imprint of a missing can of caviar in the cellophane wrapping)

Every rich person I know — when they are not a self-made millionaire — has a really strange relationship with their money. They fear everyone is after it. And since they never earned it, they fear not being able to get it back when it’s gone.

Grabs for every penny that passes his eye.
