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.{{cite web |last1=Smith |first1=Giles |title=What do Trump's books tell us about his mind? |url=https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/2017/03/what-do-trump-s-books-tell-us-about-his-mind |website=newstatesman.com |accessdate=18 October 2018 |language=en |date=11 March 2017}} 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.{{cite web |last1=Morris |first1=Edward |title=Trump: How To Get Rich by Donald J.

My hair is 100 per cent mine." While the book forms part of Trump's success creed,{{cite web |last1=Watts |first1=Steven |title=What Donald Trump's Books Reveal About Winning |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/11/what-donald-trumps-books-say-about-winning/544661/ |website=The Atlantic |accessdate=18 October 2018 |date=12 November 2017}} it more describes how Trump got richer than being a "how to get rich" guide.
