Donald Trump's wealth and love for the finer things in life are well documented. During the 2016 election cycle, he has mentioned that he is self-funding his campaign, but remained reluctant to disclose his finance details.

According to a recent study, you are more likely to receive mosquito bites after drinking only one 12-once bottle of beer.
