Donald Trump writes how-to book on riches

NEW YORK -- Real estate titan Donald Trump is 85 percent finished with a book titled "How to Get Rich," to be published by Random House in April. And how much is he getting paid for the book? A source close to the negotiations said Trump was receiving "a lot more than a million dollars." Trump himself said Thursday his deal is "the equivalent of getting half a floor at 40 Wall Street."

"I believe in compensation for success, not just gauging some company up front."
