    The Trump companies have been sued and lost dozens of times - and as figurehead and CEO of most of them I presume civil damages cases could wipe out a lot of the Trump family fortune. But, Trump has been working with the mob since the 80s and had Roy Cohn (mob laywer) as his personal laywer back then and for many years, so being career criminals (essentially a mob family), I’d not be surprised if most of the money and assets are carefully squirreled away in offshore accounts and trusts and whatnot.

    Also given that the US is doing everything it can to pull apart legislative protections against the billionaires class, it would probably all be a major uphill battle without a sweeping change of government and an expansion of the supreme court.
