From the July issue: In some South Florida circles, they are known as "the Other Trumps." Brothers Jules and Eddie, the sons of a South African tailor known as "Willie," have no financial, philosophical or even familial ties to Donald Trump. However, the Brothers Trump have quietly built an empire on luxury real estate development, one which includes Williams Island (named after their dad), an 82-acre posh preserve for the rich in Aventura; the 51-story Acqualina Resort & Spa in Sunny Isles; and Luxuria in Boca Raton, seaside condos that include flat-screen televisions in the bathrooms. "We love building high-end boutique buildings on the water," said Michael Goldstein, who has worked for the Trumps for 13 years and is president of sales. "The luxury market is strictly a niche market," added Goldstein. "We're strictly dealing with the high-end. Yeah, the market is slowing down and if people tell you different, they're lying. But people with money always have money, and they always want the finest." more
