This weekend, the real estate mogul began pitting his riches and business acumen against those of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. (Though Trump's net worth continues to be the source of much mystery and speculation.)
In an interview with CNN's Candy Crowley Sunday, Trump called the former presidential candidate a "small businessman" though Romney built Bain Capital into one of the largest private equity firms in the world. He also suggested Romney didn't create companies (even though he did).
"I'm a much bigger businessman and have a much, much bigger net worth. I mean, my net worth is many, many, many times Mitt Romney," Trump said. He later added: "I built a very big net worth and I'd like to put that ability … to work for this country. So I don't do it for myself. I'd be doing it for this country.
