By REBECCA MORIN 10/02/2018 02:12 PM EDT
President Donald Trump, who has long bragged about his success and wealth, has dropped more than 100 spots on Forbes' list of the wealthiest people in the United States.
Trump's net worth has dropped from $4.5 billion in 2015 to $3.1 billion in the last two years, Forbes reported. The magazine also said that the drop has knocked Trump 138 spots lower on its latest Forbes 400 list, which will be released on Wednesday.
In 2017, Trump was listed as the 248th richest American.
According to Forbes, Trump's decline is due to a number of factors such as Trump not being truthful about the size of his penthouse, as well as typical commercial space being exterminated by e-commerce. Trump is down more than $100 million due to that factor, Forbes said.

I think they need a minus sign in front of whatever millions or billions he's "worth."
