My right hand to God, I was hired in 1993 as Director of Projects, working directly for Mr. Trump. Over ten years, we converted the estate into the private club it is today. Many conditions had to be met as part of the conversion. I then supervised the addition of the spa, tennis courts and beach cabana construction. Also secured the approval for the large ballroom on the property that opened in 2005. Took care a permitting and supervised construction of Trump International Golf Club as well. This video is a very accurate, concise overview of the property. I would give hour-long tours for various groups talking about the property's history. It was an other-worldly experience for a number of reasons. Story of a lifetime. I left simply because there was nothing left for me to do there - after ten years.

There were hardly any changes to the exterior of the main house. The same can be said for the historic interior rooms. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has an easement which protects specific features of the estate. We needed permission for most of the additions to the property, like the tennis courts/building and ballroom, etc.

It's going to remain where it is as it is and that's the best thing for it. Properties last longer when they are operated as profitable businesses to maintain the upkeep and keep people interested in staying there. That's why so many family properties in England are now bed and breakfasts. Interesting tidbit about the UK banning the cart of arms lol. It affects nobody anywhere lol.

I remember when he bought this in 1985, but according to the Miami Herald the Feds could not afford to keep it from being vandalized, fell into disrepair, asking price was 20 million. He paid 5 million for the house, 3 million for the furniture and 2 million for the beachfront with a 12.5 million loan added afterwards. When he hit hard times in 90's due to casino closings he wanted to build "8 mansions" on the beachfront as an investment. City said no, he sued then dropped lawsuit when they both agreed on country club theme and he recouped his millions on memberships.

I appreciate anybody who is willing to save a Grand historic property and especially not gut the place and modernize it. I especially appreciate someone who recognizes that one's political opinion should have nothing to do with their feelings on saving historic architecture. Although the current politics of today has seeped into architectural academic lectures and professors are trying to claim that racism and colonialism is seeped into the history of American architecture. I don't think it is a relevant connection and I appreciate that politics is left out of this channel.

My favorite Trump story about the property was when he put in a 50 foot flag poll and the city sued him to lower the poll to the 35 feet allowed. He racked up millions in fines then negotiated a deal with the city. He agreed to pay the fine but he wanted the city to donate the money to military charities and they agreed. He then had a 15 foot mound putt in on the property and put a 35 foot poll on it.

European craftsman, ancient tiles, historic brickwork.....my only complaint is that you didnt show more color pictures! The ship painting on the wall in the dining room! OMG, so many cool, intricate, and beautiful details that I havent seen anywhere else! A lot of European palaces, villas and manor houses tend to have a uniform look.....not this place! I had seen pictures of the inside, but this video BLEW MY MIND! The fireplaces carved to look like they had canopies?

And I would not be so quick to dismiss incarceration. Besides the other dozen or so criminal investigations, this latest theft of Classified docs is rather important. Very few people have stolen Classified docs and not done time behind bars. The DOJ is under the microscope to ensure DJT isn't given special treatment. He'll do time, eventually.

Because of the $500M judgment against Trump in the NY civil fraud case. In view of his difficulty in getting an appeal bond because of a lack of liquid assets it it possible that Trump will not be able to pay the judgment. So there may be a foreclosure.

I believe that this was the second or third largest private residence in the USA , when it was built, it was the tail end of the gilded age and what an age it was , Marjorie Meriweather Post was a fascinating character, she lived big, she had the largest private yacht in the world, married three times, I think and one of her daughter's was the actress, Dina Merrill.

Marjorie Merrieweather Post actually only planned on spending $2.5M on Mar-a-lago when she started out. After her friend & set designer Joseph Urban got involved the cost skyrocketed. Her wealthy friends criticized her for spending so much money during the depression. Marjorie quickly responded saying she employed thousands of workers during a time when they needed it most. She envisioned Mar-a-lago as a winter Whitehouse & president Trump made it come true! God bless president Trump & God Bless America! ❤️🙏

I live in Europe and I visited this place last year . this estate is very well known even here and I am so glad for Trump that he preserved it and it’s a classic with history and craftsmanship that is so exceptional. I don’t believe it’s only 18 million as what the newyork judge had said .
