From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Timothy L. O'Brien (1961- ) is an American journalist who has written for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Talk Magazine. A graduate of Georgetown University and Columbia University, O'Brien has specialized in articles about Russia, terrorist funding, identity theft, and the business world. He is also the author of two books: 1998's Bad Bet: The Inside Story of the Glamour, Glitz, and Danger of America's Gambling Industry (ISBN 0-8129-2807-5) and 2005's TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald (ISBN 0-446-57854-1).

TrumpNation is notable for its controversial claim that celebrity real estate mogul Donald Trump is worth no more than $250 million (USD). Trump, who claims to be a billionaire and has built a reputation upon his wealth, filed suit against O'Brien and Warner Books on January 23, 2006.
