PALM BEACH — The Donald is getting his price.

An oceanfront Palm Beach mansion Donald Trump owns is under contract for sale to an unnamed foreign buyer for $100 million - the property's official asking price - according to sources close to the billionaire real estate mogul....

...The 80,000-square-foot property at 515 N. County Road sits on 6 acres and has 475 feet of unobstructed oceanfront, making the price per linear foot $210,526...

... The property is appraised at $58 million by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's Office, which put the 2007 tax bill at $980,033, according to county records. http://www.palmbeachpost.com/business/content/business/epaper/2008/05/14/m1a_trump_0515.html

Holy cow! Must be nice.
That's too much house to clean for me. Damn place better come with maids and landscapers.

I think Trump bought it for about $47 mill, and dropped his price t0 $100 mill.
It's only appraised at $58 mill.
Tidy return on his investment!
There are more pictures at the link if anyone is interested.

yeah, I turned it down....I thought the grass on the helicopter pad looked a bit brown......

I thought my gardener could take care of that, but I turned it down because of the loud parties the illegal alien neighbors have every night.
Not a fan of mariachi.

[PostmodernProphet]

admit it.....your gardener was the one throwing the party......

maybe, he does play a mean morocha!

My only advice....enjoy it while you can, Heh.


The same day the federal government added the polar bear to the endangered species list because of global warming, South Florida water managers agreed to take a yearlong look at how melting ice could raise sea levels that could claim the southern part of the state.
