Nathans Famous Executive Chairman was key advisor for Trump Campaign

Nathan’s Famous executive chairman Howard Lorber who owns the majority 22% stock in the world renowned hot dog company has been a key economic advisor for Trump.

Lorber who leads the Vector Group which manufactures cigarettes is also the chairman of real estate giant Douglas Elliman, has been friends with the President-elect since the 1980’s often playing golf with Trump at “The Donald’s” Florida course.

Earlier this year Trump picked his friend Lorber to be a key economic advisor for his successful Presidential campaign. In addition Lorber donated $100,000 to the Trump campaign. Small change for Lorber who has been with Nathan’s Famous since 1987 and was paid (cha ching!)$25 million by the company in the past year alone.

Nathan’s Famous had their most profitable year ($80 million revenue/$8 million profit) in 2015, handsomely paying out their investors.

The businesses’ founder Nathan Handwerker started as a meager bun slicer at Feltman’s of Coney Island. Feltman’s Coney Island restaurant was opened by hot dog inventor Charles Feltman in 1871 and has since returned with the highly regarded critically acclaimed Feltman’s Hot Dog sold nationwide at supermarkets and on their website FeltmansHotDogs.com.

Meanwhile Nathan’s Famous continues it’s world domination with a licensing deal with the Chinese owned Smithfield/ WH Group and Howard Lorber at the helm, who may quite possibly become a member of the President Trump’s White House staff.
