#13 – Maison de L’Amitie – Palm Beach, FL ($95 Million)
Right on the shore of the beach in Palm Beach, Donald Trump was the proud owner of this estate. When economic times got a bit tough in 2008, Trump decided to sell the home to Dmitry Rybolovlev, who has a net worth of $9 billion. The home was sold to Rybolovlev for a total of $95 million and it came with a lot of features.
There is a 50 car parking garage on the estate with a courtyard and a 100 feet long pool. The house itself has gold and diamond sections of walls, and covers 60,000 square feet. Rybolovlev made his money in the manure market, so selling a lot of poop was able to get him this sprawling real estate.
#12 – Albemarle House – Charlottesville, VA ($100 Million)
In the 1980’s, John and Patricia Kluge made billions in the media front. When John passed away, the Albemarle House went up for sale, and it was Donald Trump that bought it in 2012 after selling Maison de L’Amitie just four years before. The original price for the house was $100 million, but Trump was able to get it off of foreclosure for just $6.5 million.
It’s terrible that Patricia could no longer afford the payments and the home was seized, but Trump got a heck of a deal on it. There are 45 rooms that fill the mansion and 13 of those rooms are bathrooms. There is also a church in the interior and helipad for Trump’s private chopper. The home also comes with a cellar that can fit enough bottles of wine to keep anyone happy for weekends to come.
