Just checked the Zillow data on Mar-A-Lago -- $24.5 million

Here it is:

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1100-S-Ocean-Blvd-Palm-Beach-FL-33480/306155527_zpid/

Definitely not a billion dollar property.

Plus, have you seen the bathrooms? They're ugly (and filled with boxes). Any buyer will need to remodel that heap. Factor that into the price.

What a complete moron, and how does this help him? He's claimed an under-value amount for taxes since forever, so this could lead to tax evasion charges? Ha, one can dream.

What a stupid waste of money.

In another post, DUer malaise wrote, "Some people have more money than common sense."

It's a truth about anyone who would want a membership at a Trump club.

There are companies that remediate murder scenes. They have cleaning products that’ll get the Trump Stank right out.

I’m not too worried about the bugs either. You KNOW the CIA is going to go over that place with a fine tooth comb before they release the property to a Realtor. Their bug-finding skills are unparalleled.

If the property were worth billions, and it isn’t, Trump should’ve been paying far more to the state of Florida for property taxes. 🥸

Before he acquired it, Mar a Lago had been designated a National Historic Landmark. In order to get permission to make certain renovations in converting it to a members-only club, Trump deeded development rights for Mar-a-Lago to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. As part of that deal, he agreed to ‘forever’ relinquish his rights to develop Mar-a-Lago or to use it for ‘any purpose other than club use.’ ”

That was a large choice and very desirable west coast location.
Trump's dump was converted into a half ass hotel and is run ass down. No way is it worth 2-3 times as much as the highest selling estate of that year.

if u could bulldoze it, it wouldnt be worth a billion, but it would be in the much higher millions.
this is a cheat he used often. i guess he figured he cd knock down or ignore those restrictions.

Zillow obviously doesn't take into account the $ value of our nations most classified military secrets which are hidden throughout the home. Home's contents are probably worth $billions to America's enemies.

Bet you 100% if they decide to sell it, a Saudi or a Russian buys it and has every board removed to look for the secrets Trump left there.
