I didn't read the articles but Forbes tries to estimate rich folks net worth so if the value of the stock goes down those guys are worth less - but it is only a paper loss until they actually sell the stock. Of course the high value of the stock wasn't real money either until it was sold. So I think Trump's taxes vs the Forbes estimate is apples to oranges.
