Over time, he expanded his interests to include real estate, media, and restaurants.

He established three casinos: Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza, and Trump Marina. Today, Trump's fortune is estimated at $2.6 billion, ranking him 278th in Forbes' world list.
Calvin Ayre

Calvin Ayre, a trailblazer in online gambling, played a crucial role in this evolution.Born in Canada in 1961, Ayre initially earned money by selling fruit during his student years. With $10,000 saved, he launched an IT company. His trajectory shifted after reading about a business accepting bets via phone. Inspired, Ayre pivoted his enterprise, founding Bodog Entertainment Group in 1994. He foresaw the internet's potential, focusing his efforts on creating an online gambling empire. Through bodog.com, people could place bets and play casino games online for the first time.
