Defeating an apparently more-popular Hillary Clinton in the recent USA elections ensured that his name became well and truly known by those who (surprisingly) did not hear of him as the Billionaire.
Come January 2017, he will be sworn in as America's 45th President, and standing beside him as the new first Lady, will be Melania Trump, the former model that he married in 2005.
That wedding ceremony was as grand as grand weddings come, and here are 7 things that prove it.

12 Karat, $1.5M proposal ring
Yep! You read that absolutely right.
To Melania, who, by the way, is his third wife, he gave a 12 karat, emerald-cut Graff ring that was worth $1.5 million!
In case you did not know, Donald Trump could easily be the richest man that ever became America’s president, as portrayed by the astoundingly beautiful jewel he got to back up his proposal speech.

Even before the wedding proper, popular fashion magazine, Vogue, could just not wait to get Melania’s bridal gown on the cover of their mag!
And that gown, ladies and gentlemen, cost more than $100,000.
It was a white satin Duchess gown from the House of Christian Dior, and had 300 feet of material, as well as being embellished with 1500 rhinestones and pearls.

Worth of the said house? A massive 35 million dollars!
The décor was just… divine
The bride Melania Trump hired New York event designer, Preston Bailey and in her words, asked him to create a “very classic, very white” wedding.
