Trump: The richer the better?

Real estate mogul and potential 2012 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump touted his net worth as a selling point over likely presidential contender and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

"I'm a much bigger business man and have (a) much, much bigger net worth. I mean, my net worth is many, many, many times Mitt Romney," Trump said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "I built a very big net worth and I'd like to put that ability ... to work for this country."

How much is the Donald really worth? We ask Floyd Norris, chief financial correspondent of The New York Times, and Amir Korangy, founder and publisher of The Real Deal.

    Eliot, I used to wish you ran for President! But now i'm glad you're right where you are! Educating the American People about how we're being fleeced! How we're being lied to! How you're trying to keep them honest! I will watch and listen to you for the rest of my life!

    The Republicans push the car down the ditch and then make the victims pay for the damage.
