Frederick Christ "Fred" Trump (October 11, 1905 – June 25, 1999) was the father of the prolific real estate/entertainment magnate Donald Trump, his fourth of five children.
Fred Trump was born on October 11, 1905 in Woodhaven, Queens, New York. His parents were German Christian immigrants Frederick Trump (Kallstadt, Rheinland-Pfalz, March 14, 1869 – March 30, 1918), who immigrated to the United States in 1885 and became a naturalized US Citizen in 1892, and his wife, Elisabeth Christ (October 10, 1880 – June 6, 1966), whom he married at Kallstadt, Rheinland-Pfalz, in 1902.[1] His father, Friederich, was an entrepreneur who began his fortune running the Arctic Restaurant and Hotel in Bennett, British Columbia, during the Klondike Gold Rush, but died during the 1918 Spanish Flu when Fred was only 13. In 1936 Fred Trump married Mary A. MacLeod (Stornoway, Scotland, May 10, 1912 – August 7, 2000), a Scottish immigrant, in New York City. Trump started his career as a real estate developer and became rich by building and operating affordable rental housing in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. Trump amassed a $400 million fortune, which was largely left to his children, contributing a significant amount to Donald Trump's wealth. Fred Trump died of pneumonia in June of 1999 at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York.
