Photo for Friday, July 17th, 2009
Trump International Hotel and Tower at Columbus Circle. Donald Trump own dozens of properties here in NYC, many bearing his name. This property bears his name, though is owned by GE, oddly - so he doesn't necessarily own it if it has his name; his stake in this building is valued at $12M. Trump, a celebrity in the eighties for his wealth and panach, he become less iconic after the tech boom and dot com billionaires took front and center. Through his TV show "The Apprentice," he became more relevant again to pop culture, though the show's popularity has died down, of late.
Why this for the Daily Photo? Trump is easily one of the most famous living New Yorkers.
