Ms. Martha and the Donald have a lot in common. Both are titans of industry, both star in their own TV shows, and both have a tendency to draw either the sincere respect or bile-fueled ire of people who don't even know them. Of course, Donald and Martha are also very rich -- filthy, stinking, disgustingly rich. While exact figures on who's worth what are difficult to come by, we feel confident in saying Trump has more money in the bank. We found a list of the 400 richest Americans from Forbes magazine, circa 2005. Donald came in at number 83 with $2.7 billion. Martha
finished 377 with $970 million. So, according to Forbes, it's really not even close. Although if you ask us, anything past $500 million is just showing off. As important as wealth is to some, believe it or not, there are other barometers of success. One example is likability. When Martha went, ahem, "away" for five months, her company's brand took a big hit. From an overall brand standpoint, both Donald and Martha score poorly "among all demographic groups." Again, this speaks to their likability -- or apparent lack thereof. As this article points out, Martha's likability
is just one notch above the National Enquirer's. That's not a good thing.
