Donald Trump, after the White House, will live in a lavish mansion in Florida
Donald is no longer the tenant of the White House. He will go to live in one of the most opulent mansions in Florida
Donald Trump is no longer the president of the United States, his term has come to an end and now Joe Biden is the new tenant of the White House.
January 20, 2021 is a historic date: Trump, the first president in history to be indicted twice through the impeachment procedure, has also become one of the few not to have been re-elected for a second term. Nothing strange considering what he has done in the 4 years he has been in power, from tantrums on Twitter to the "coup" at the Capitol. So the moving truck drove to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to take away all of his belongings.
The "goodbye" at the White House
The bad news is when in his farewell speech he declared: "Somehow we will return." Words that suggest the intention to create their own movement and try again in the future the second ascent to the White House, but it is not a problem that is worth worrying about now.
More concrete is to ask: where will he live? We know Trump is not going to move into Trump Tower, his New York apartment or one of his properties in Las Vegas. According to the New York Post, a series of heavy moving vehicles have been spotted around Donald's Florida residence in Mar-a-Lago, after Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' victory was acknowledged in front of two chambers on Washington's Capitol Hill. .
The former POTUS, Twitter account of the President of the United States, had to leave the White House on January 20 at 8.00 am, the day of the inauguration of Biden. He decided to leave New York, the city where he lived most of his life, to go to the Palm Beach area.
Story of a 160 million dollar house
According to official reports, 74-year-old Trump bought the mansion in 1985 for $ 10 million before turning it into a golf club and it's a 20-acre property, about 8 hectares, with no less than 128 rooms. The house was built in 1927 by the heiress, Marjorie Merriweather Post who was in charge of the Postum Cereal Company after the death of her father. It is said that the cereal entrepreneur was the richest woman in America in the 1920s and had three ships loaded with stones sent from Italy to erect the external walls, she installed a laminated gold roof inspired by the skylights of the Galleria dell ' Academy of Venice and imported busts dating back to the sixteenth century to be placed at the entrance. Eventually, she built a 58-room house surrounded by a 17-hectare paradise of greenery, citrus groves and greenhouses.
In 1973, when Marjorie Merriweather Post died, Mar-a-Lago was offered to the federal government to be used as a presidential retreat. But the maintenance costs were too high, and in 1981 she went to the Marjorie Merriweather Post Foundation, which sold her to Trump four years later. So in 1995 Donald Trump turned it into a huge golf club.
The luxurious mansion is located on an island off the coast of Palm Beach, Florida, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and open to club members. Accommodations include rooms, a spa, and access to the golf course, where Trump can occasionally be met. Reports say it also has three air raid shelters where residents can rush to get safe should the need arise.
Trump's private estate, separated from the rest of the area's homes and mansions, is fenced off to keep the curious away, but is said to be the second largest mansion in all of Florida.
According to Forbes, the building has increased in value to around $ 160 million after a series of renovations. A huge deal given that the initial investment was 10 million. Today the golf club includes a 1,858 square meter ballroom, five tennis courts and a pool exclusively dedicated to water polo.
The Palm Beach area is known as Billionaire's Row and for a time was one of John F. Kennedy's favorite destinations to go with his family during the winter holidays. The Mar-a-Lago club has been frequented by celebrities such as Michael Jackson, Celine Dion and Billy Joel, and is one of the places Trump used to retire to relax during his presidency.
“Many of the great leaders of the world are asking to come to Mar-a-Lago. They like it and I like it, ”said Trump a few months ago.
