The brazen billionaire's day job is building and selling skyscrapers, but most know him from his other gig, co-hosting The Apprentice, NBC's reality TV show. Trump inked a sweet deal with producer Mark Burnett, guaranteeing him a per-episode salary along with a cut of product placement deals. Ratings slumped in the sixth season, in which Trump (estimated net worth: $2.9 billion) moved the competition to Los Angeles. At press time, NBC was still deciding whether to renew the show. Meanwhile, Trump, who has a toddler son, became a grandpa this year.
