WASHINGTON (AP) – With a presidential field approaching 20 high-profile Republicans, the GOP’s 2016 class offers voters a little bit of everything.

There are the top-tier candidates, the single-issue candidates and even the quixotic dreamers.

And then there’s Donald Trump.

The Donald, as he’s commonly known as a celebrity, will announce his 2016 intentions on Tuesday at a Manhattan skyscraper that bears his name.

It’s not clear if he’s running for sure, but Trump will share details about his personal finances that reveal a net worth of $9 billion. That’s according to a source close to the campaign who spoke on the condition of anonymity so as not to pre-empt the announcement.

The financial disclosure was thought to be the final obstacle blocking Trump from launching a 2016 bid.
