I couldn't believe that either, and that guy runs Macy's? Nadia is 30+ years removed from the Olympics and it shows. I'd be surprised if 2 out of 100 people in Manhattan would be able to recognize her. Lennox is far far more recognizable.
Stephen Baldwin: I've been acting in films for twenty years.
Piers: You have?

The whole Ivanka vs. Gene thing seemed so staged. That being said, she looked incredible in that tight-fitting dress, and yes, it would be refreshing to see her smile once in a while.

What was up with Omarosa's clothing? What she wore to the meeting with Pedigree was horrible AND inappropriate. When she stood up she had to adjust her skirt because it was so short. Great for clubbing, not for a business meeting.
I really hope Hydra goes to the board room next week. They are way too cocky and comfortable right now, since they haven't had to battle it out with Trump. That's when the real sparks will fly!

I was thinking that while he's not in Trump's league as far as money, Trump must at least respect Gene for all the tookie that he's tasted throughout his career.

With every season of apprentice there are some deadwood candidates that get exposed in the beginning of either not having the passion or ability to lead. I find it boring, because you kind of know who is getting fired way before it happens. I think the women are clear of the obvious deadwood, know its time for the men to clear some...

I just disagree. Unless you are living under a rock, the large majority of the US would recognize Lennox. He was the only celebrity that was getting pics taken during the hot dog thing. Lennox, Evander, and Tyson are icons. They were at the forefront of the public for over 10 years and millions and millions of people watched their fights. The Macy's guy made a joke of himself.

I mean wasn't Trump declaring bankruptcy 4-5 years ago?
Obviously he has all that property but pure cash I think he's ahead of Trump.
Who knows though. I agree I bet Trump thinks he's a legitimate business man.
Ivanka looked amazing, she must have got a boob job from what I remember her use to looking like.

I was confused by this episode. They made a big deal about the men not meeting with the client. The client told the women he did not care about star power, he wanted sad stories about dogs. The women gave him exactly what he asked for. Why did the men win?

I think Lennox has the highest net worth of the group but comparing Gene and Lennox would be splitting hairs. Gene has hinted that his net worth is around $100 million (he hinted this on that VH1 show) (I am sure splitting with the group of course is taking a huge hit). Lennox made around $80 on three fights alone, so regardless, it is Lennox and Gene and then everyone else on the show is not even close (I assume).

He has said he cleared $40 on the Tyson fight. Regardless, its close between the two and there is no one else on the show (sans Trump) that is even close.

Forbes values Donald Trump at 2.9 billion. He says he's worth 7 billion (yeah, right).
Can't find any hard numbers on Gene Simmons, but he's hinted that he's worth 100+ million. Probably is closer to 200 million. Could be more.
