Mar-a-Lago: Inside Donald Trump’s home in Florida – one of the largest houses in the US
Everything you need to now about where Donald Trump is living now...

By Ruth Doherty
Donald Trump has left the White House and moved his family to Florida, where it’s thought they will set up home at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach.
Mar-a-Lago is a vast 17-acre estate in Palm Beach boasting 58 bedrooms, 33 bathrooms, 12 fireplaces, five tennis courts, and a 20,000 square-foot ballroom decorated with gold leaf worth millions.

Trump bought the property in 1985 from cereals heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post. Mrs Post donated the property to the US Government in 1973 for use as a winter escape, but it was returned to the Post Foundation in 1981 following worries over high maintenance costs and security issues. In 1980, it was designated a National Historic Landmark.

It was put up for sale in 1981 for $20 million. The exact price Trump paid for the estate in 1985 is unknown, but it’s thought to have been around $10 million.

In 1995, he turned the property into a high-end members club, with fees thought to be around $200,000, and created a 3,000 square-foot property on the estate for personal use.
