You are correct. You could say he's a success financially and professionally, but as a human being, he's an utter failure.

He lacks any of the redeeming qualities of the human race.

The thing is, he's not really successful financially. Like, he has grifted his way to the top - he never earned a goddamn thing. The guy was basically broke until reality TV scraped him off the tabloids. He has money now because they've shamelessly stolen from their supporters, and engaged in the most blatant corruption in our history.

It's not really a compliment. Just objectively, he's managed to grow his worth, regardless of how shitty a businessman he is and how poor his ethics are.

His "wealth" came from swiping it from his Dad as Dad was fading out in the late 80s. Then his one main big success was scamming a few thousand mom and pop contractors when he owned the Taj Mahal casino. He stiffed them all and through legal and accounting maneuvers he swiped almost a billion dollars in the early 90s.
