當了一年總統 特朗普的財富卻縮水至31億美元

U.S. President Donald Trump's net worth declined by some $600 million to $3.1 billion in the past year, according to Forbes magazine.

據福布斯雜誌透露，在去年一年裏，美國總統唐納德·特朗普的個人淨財富價值縮水了大約6億美元，直至31億美元。

The biggest contributing factor to Trump's declining fortune was his real estate holdings, much of which is in New York City.

導致特朗普財產縮水的主要原因是他的不動產，其中大部分分佈在紐約。

Several of his Manhattan properties have declined in value, reducing his fortune in this sector by nearly $400 million.

他其中幾個曼哈頓的產業已經貶值了，這導致他在房地產這一領域的財產減少了近4億。

Some of Trump's golf properties overseas and in the United States also have declined in value, the apparent result of potential guests being offended by Trump's politics and bluster, Forbes reported.

福布斯報道稱，特朗普在國內及海外的一些高爾夫產業也有相應貶值，這顯然是因爲特朗普的政策和吹噓得罪了潛在客戶。

The presidential campaign also contributed to a decline in Trump's net worth. His cash holdings were reduced to about $100 million since last year after he spent $66 million on his campaign.

總統競選也是造成特朗普個人淨財富價值減少的原因。自去年他在大選中花費六千六百萬美元后，他的現金持有量已減少到一億左右。

The reduction in Trump's cash holdings also was the result of a $25 million payment Trump made to settle a lawsuit over Trump University.

而處理特朗普大學的法律訴訟，則花了特朗普兩千五百萬美元，這也讓他的現金持有率有所下降。

Forbes now ranks Trump as the 248th richest person in the U.S., down from 156 in 2016.

福布斯現在將特朗普排在全美富豪榜單的第248位，2016年時他排在第156位。

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates topped the list of wealthiest Americans for the 24th consecutive year with a net worth of $89 billion. Amazon's Jeff Bezos came in number two with a net worth of $81.5 billion.

微軟創始人比爾·蓋茨以890億美元的淨財富值連續24年位居全美富豪榜單的榜首。而亞馬遜的傑夫·貝佐斯則以815億美元的淨財富值位居第二。
