Making it add up

"When I build something for somebody, I always add $50 million or $60 million onto the price. My guys come in, they say it’s going to cost $75 million. I say it’s going to cost $125 million, and I build it for $100 million. Basically, I did a lousy job. But they think I did a great job."

Donald Trump, 1984 meeting of US Football League owners, quoted in the New York Times July 1st, 1986
