This is Trump's luxurious and exclusive ‘bunker’ in New York
The new American president owns an imperious residence in Manhattan that is an ode to Versailles
Once elected President of the United States, Donald Trump and his wife must leave their residence to go live in the White House. A decision, a priori, not easy considering that the home that the tycoon has in Manhattan is one of the most exclusive in the country, and that he has nothing to envy what will be his new residential home. The elected president and his wife, Melania Trump, live in a luxurious New York triplex, on the 66th floor, which is located at the top of the Trump Tower, on fifth avenue in the Big Apple, and which is estimated to have a value of 100 million dollars.
The entire residence is an ode to the French palace of Versailles, converted into an impregnable fortress full of details, as shown in a graphic report published by the Daily Mail. The house has, for example, doors bathed in gold and diamonds, and delicate finishes in each corner. An ode to the French palace of Versailles is filled with gold trim and painted skies that contrast with the straight, contemporary lines of most of the apartments of the millionaires currently living in New York.
The attic, according to the Daily Mail itself, is full of details, such as the coat of arms, a family portrait or an individual image of Trump's late father, Fred, which are in a living room. Among the books, a tribute to the boxer Muhammad Ali stands out, in a limited edition of 1,000 individually numbered copies that bear the athlete's signature, with an estimated value of $ 15,000. The Trumps also have a taste for art, such as a white marble statue of Apollo, son of Zeus, which is located above the fireplace, or Athenian-style Greek vases that are scattered throughout the home. It also highlights a statue of Eros Psyche, one of the most powerful love stories in classical mythology.
A fountain presides over the imperious living room, with ivory sofas and where it is placed in perfect symmetry, and according to the tutelage of designer Angelo Donghia, power in the 70s and 80s working with clients such as Ralph Lauren, Liza Minelli, Neil Simon or Diana Ross. Vogue and Vanity Fair books and magazines are strategically placed on each table, complete with candle holders and mugs. In the breakfast room there are gold cups, glasses and plates. In Melania's office, a painting by Renoir stands out, 'La loge', the original of which is in the Courtald Gallery in London.
The security measures are extreme, this Friday, for example, they changed the Sanitation Department trucks full of sand that formed a wall on the main facade of the Trump tower, for concrete barriers, which show the logo of the Department of The New York Police Department is joined by Trump's Secret Service and private security officials, although no one has provided security details for the tower so far.
