Probably no one, but it's not an impossible scenario.

I was thinking about some of the valuations on Trump's net worth from 2015/16. Some of them had his name as the overwhelming share of value.

Valuations are tricky unless there is an auction or bidding war

Regarding Trump as a brand, didn't he negotiate licensing fees and residuals for using his name image likeness?

He did, which I'm sure formed a partial basis for the valuation, but the valuation also includes his potential to monetize his name more. That's why it can increase or decrease a lot, even if he isn't making any new licensing deals.
