Maison de L’Amitie Palm Beach, Florida
Donald Trump just reduced the price of this spectacular palace by about $25 million dollars where it stands now at $100 mil, now that’s what I call a price reduction. When Donald bought this it was in bankruptcy and needed a bit of work.
He bought it in 2004 for a mere $41.25 million and has brought it back to a true palace with 103 rooms, a 100 foot ballroom, conservatory on 475 feet of ocean front property on 7 acres. A real steal at this price. The Donald even had an open house where he gave those arriving in Bentleys, Ferrai, Rolls Royce and more for a tour. photo is courtesy of Forbes
