Just to let you know, based on past experience with similar events (not Trump's though) if you want to see them, I suggest you confirm that they will actually be there in person. It may be some sort of video display.

According to the invite, Ivanka is "live and in person!!"

Not that I plan to go, but I thought it was amusing to get the invite. Especially since I've got a bit of a bad taste in mouth about Trump this Apprentice season!

ETA: So Sea, I get Ivanka and you get Donald Jr? Sounds like a definite road show, yes? ;)

If I got a free invitation to see Ivanka "live and in person" I might go. I like Ivanka - it might be fun to hear what she has to say.

It always strikes me as a little strange when millionaires try to sell the "secret" of their success. What made them a success is often not sellable.

Yes, the event in OC was a little while back.

LOL, Jimmer! They make big money on the lecture tour. Success, sure, from the lecture tour. Secret? Be born into a wealthy family.

And Costa? I agree, I'd have been a BIT more tempted if the lure had been Ivanka, because I am impressed with her.

The tickets say that I am invited to "learn the Trump Family Wealth Creation Secrets from His Daughter." The invite says:

quote:

Please be my personal guest to hear my real Trump story on wealth creation from my daughter, Ivanka Trump, and be trained by "4" self-made multi-millionaire experts in America. They will share with you unique wealth creating secrets and strategies. As my special VIP guest, I have enclosed two (2) personal guest tickets and you will receive a special gift; a complimentary edition of "TRUMP--Think Like a Billionaire" at the conference. The suggested tuition of $149 is waived for you.



And then it goes on to tell me that I'll learn how to buy real estate at 31%-57% below value, find income-producing properties, slash capital gains taxto "0", lower my current tax bill up to 31%, learn how to cash in on the new billion dollar booming foreclosure opportunity, protect 100% of my personal assets from all lawsuits and liens, and get government approved investments guaranteeing 9.6% to 32% return.

And that I'll learn what others "have paid over $20,000" to learn.

Oh yeah, free lunch is provided.

So... my question is... where, exactly are they making money on this? I've got two free tix, so unless I buy something there, it's costing THEM money for me to attend!

costacat, we received the same invite as you did. dh can't help but make a "comment" whenever he hears trump's voice on tv. when he saw the envelope from "donald j. trump", he said trump heard what he said about him and wrote him a letter. lol
remember:
"THINK BIG. LIVE LARGE!"

In my experience those type seminars are selling tapes and books to help you learn how to become millionaires and that's where they make their money. Normally the tapes and books are very expensive, IMO. So, even though the seminar is free and lunch is free they are still racking in the loot.

I got the tickets , but threw them away. We live in a very good zip code & get lots of upscale junk mail for yachts, golf vacations, etc (we don't do these things).

I live in San Diego (in the Hillcrest area, which is known as "high rent"). I dunno which mailing list I'm on. Maybe property owner?

Hey mods...

The graphic on the "home page" for Apprentice 6? Is there any way to reduce it in size, so that it fits better on a laptop screen? Since the new design, the links are all "below the fold".

Thanks!

I'm in Orange County, CA in a good area.

Could be that, or, even though I don't have such an account anymore I did have a Charles Scwab account that initially had a big chunk in it and Scwab seems to love selling that mailing list.

From the IMDB:

Ratings for Trump Show Remain in Basement

NBC's The Apprentice wound up again with hardly a trace of ratings as the Donald Trump-hosted show posted a 4.9 rating and an 8 share Sunday night -- representing fewer than half the viewers that CBS attracted with Without a Trace (10.8/18) at 10:00 p.m. ABC also had a tough time Sunday, as a rerun of its Desperate Housewives came in third in the 9:00 p.m. hour, taking a back seat to CBS's Cold Case and NBC's Deal or No Deal.CBS won the night with an average 8.2 rating and a 14 share. ABC was a distant second with a 5.5/9, while Fox and NBC tied for third with a 5.1/8.
