Trump: How to Get Rich is a 2004 non-fiction book by Donald Trump and Meredith McIver. Like Trump's 16 other publications, it was to an unknown extent ghostwritten.[1] The book was published to take advantage of media attention related to The Apprentice TV series, which Trump hosted from January 2004 to February 2015.[2] The book is focused on Trump's fame and public image, and makes statements such as "Emphatically and categorically, no: I do not wear a rug. My hair is 100 per cent mine."[1] While the book forms part of Trump's success creed,[3] it more describes how Trump got richer than being a "how to get rich" guide.[2] The book contains 53 short business "commandments" and finishes with a section dedicated to Trump's role in The Apprentice.[2][4]
