    He has one of the most recognizable brands (from name to product to hair, etc.) which he made happen.
    Arguably he made this hugely recognizable brand on the back of countless business failures that were given great PR spin. The importance of asking "at what cost?" shouldn't be lost on you.

    "countless business failures"?

    The Trump organization owns over 500 business entities. Exactly 6 of them filed for bankruptcy.

    You too can own a as many business entities as you want. The paperwork is pretty self explanatory, the filling fee, depending on state, can be as little as $30, and again, depending on state, there may not be any annual fee to stay in good standing.

    Now that you bring it up, I invite you to do a little digging into those 500 entities. How many of them are active businesses? There are many legitimate reasons to form a legal entity or even a network of legal entities, but many of them do not support the thesis that shear quantity of entities is a useful signal for measuring success.
