Most of us have heard about Ed McMahon's money problems. He's losing his house - it's a mess. The guy is in his 80's and lives in a six-bedroom, five-bathroom, 7,000-square-foot house. He bought it in 1990 and he's having trouble making mortgage payments.
Enter Donald Trump. Money is no problem for him! He's a fan of McMahon, so he's buying McMahon's mansion and letting him live there. This will probably cost the Donald 4 or 5 million dollars. He'll spread it out over several years. For him it's simply a cost of keeping his image afloat and keeping his name in the public eye. Meanwhile, the rest of us are satisified to have reasonably priced egos.
