Trump: How to Get Rich is a 2004 non-fiction book by Donald Trump and Meredith McIver. Like Trump's 16 other publications, it was to an unknown extent ghostwritten by McIver. [1] The book was published to take advantage of media attention related to The Apprentice TV series, which Trump hosted from January 2004 to February 2015. [2] The book is focused on Trump's fame and public image, and makes statements such as "Emphatically and categorically, no: I do not wear a rug. My hair is 100 per cent mine." [1] While the book forms part of Trump's success creed, [3] it more describes how Trump got richer than being a "how to get rich" guide. [2] The book contains 53 short business "commandments" and finishes with a section dedicated to Trump's role in The Apprentice. [2] [4]
