After his ambitious plan for a building an impressive tower in Dubai crashed with a bang few years back, property billionaire Donald Trump is back in Dubai with brand new projects in mind. The controversial businessman flew with his daughter Ivanka to Dubai on his private jet, a luxury Boeing 757, to unveil his Trump International Golf Course.
The 67-years-old American business magnate, investor, producer, TV star and author is probably the most recognized businessman in the world with his individual style, bold statements and cocky appearance. Three years ago, Trump was supposed to build a hotel tower in the emirate, but the property crash made him ditch the idea pretty fast. However, last week the billionaire arrived in Dubai to reveal the Trump International Golf Course and the huge development, consisting of 104 luxury villas and mansions. His New York-based Trump Organization is collaborating with Damac Properties on the new golf course and the exclusive Trump Estates project. According to him, Dubai is a “solid investment” and his golf course could be the perfect venue for international events, including the prestigious Ryder Cup.
Traditionally, the Ryder Cup is held every two years in either Europe or the US, with Geneagles, Scotland hosting it this year. Currently, Donald Trump owns 16 golf complexes around the world and recently he bought the Turnberry resort in Scotland. Although he said that India may be a possible destination for his next projects, clearly Dubai is his priority on the path of expanding his global empire. According to the businessman, his Dubai golf complex is designed to “the highest standards of golf” and it will certainly be an exciting place for the Ryder Cup. The course will be fully developed and operational next year and some of the best and most successful golfers are expected to come here.
Last Monday, Trump and his daughter Ivanka, a businesswoman and a former fashion model, checked on the progress of the master development. In fact, she worked on the interior design of the villas in the complex, revealing just another of her multiple talents – of course, she is a daughter of Donald Trump, a man who succeeds in everything he starts, while her other is an ex-model, athlete, and currently a fashion designer, TV producer and businesswoman.
But that’s not the only exciting thing about Mr. Trump and Ivanka visiting Dubai. He also said he wanted to bring the Miss Universe Pageant here some day. And being a co-owner of The Miss Universe Organization together with NBC, the billionaire might just bring it in the Middle East.
