Trump Media cofounders were limited to coach flights and lodging under $150 a night while establishing the former president's media empire

• Trump Media was worth a little under $7 billion as of April 3.
• The organization's cofounders were limited to cheap flights and hotels.
• The cofounders' contract stipulated economy flights and lodging under $150 per night, per a lawsuit.

Former President Donald Trump's media organization may be a multibillion-dollar entity on paper, but that appears to be no indication of the company's performance — or the kind of executive lifestyle the cofounders were granted when starting the company.
