From Palm Beach’s Mar-a-Lago to Seven Springs in Bedford, New York, here are all of the president’s personal properties.
During Donald Trump’s first presidential term, NBC News ran an ongoing tally of the number of days POTUS had spent outside of the White House and at one of his own properties (including golf courses). Spoiler: it was a lot.
While only time will tell if the president will clock in more nights at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave during his second term, it’s probably safe to assume he will not entirely forgo frequent retreats to his beloved Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, or to his other sprawling, gilded estates dotting the East Coast. Sure, Camp David has the gravitas of presidential history, but does it have gold sinks?
As Trump is once again sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, we’re taking another accounting of his personal real estate portfolio.
Trump’s New York City residence is a gilded, three-level penthouse 66 stories up at the top of Trump Tower, his skyscraper at 725 Fifth Avenue. (Youngest child Barron, who is currently attending NYU—from home—reportedly has a floor all to himself.) Modeled after the Palace of Versailles, with rococo decor and a profuse amount of gold, the penthouse served as the mogul-turned-POTUS’s primary residence until 2019, when he designated Mar-a-Lago as his main residence (likely for the double benefit of better taxes and a more sympathetic crowd).
Trump once gave Forbes a tour of the penthouse and told the publication that it was the “best apartment ever built” and bragged about its 33,000-square-foot size and estimated value of at least $200 million. The residence is actually 10,996 square feet and worth an estimated $54 million.
The Trumps’ primary residence as of 2019, Mar-a-Lago is where the president spent a majority of his time away from the White House during his first term, so much that it became known as the “Winter White House.” In 2014, Trump proclaimed that the 128-room mansion, which was built by cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post in 1927, is “the great estate of Palm Beach.”
Interestingly, Post had always wanted Mar-a-Lago to become a public property. She donated it to the U.S. government upon her death, but in 1980 it was returned to Post’s daughters because of the $1 million in annual maintenance costs. Trump bought the 17-acre property for $5 million in 1985 and turned it into a private club ten years later, adding a 20,000-square foot ballroom with $7 million worth of gold leaf and spending $100,000 on four gold-plated sinks.
During Trump’s first administration, the privilege of hobnobbing with POTUS as a member reportedly involved a $200,000 initiation fee. As of summer 2024, that figure has increased to $1 million—and that is not including annual dues.
In 2017, the Government Accountability Office tried to accurately calculate how much the president’s frequent Mar-a-Lago visits were costing taxpayers but failed to get the full picture because the White House declined to provide more information. They did conclude, however, that four trips the president had taken to Mar-a-Lago over one month in 2017 had cost at least $13.6 million.
Arguably the president’s second favorite retreat after Mar-a-Lago, the Trump National was dubbed the “Summer White House” during his first stint as POTUS. While the main house of the Bedminster, New Jersey, property is a private club open to members (for reported initiation fee of $350,000), the Trump family owns cottages on the property. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner got married there in 2009, and they won an application to expand their cottage by 2,200 square feet in 2015.
Trump loves the area so much he once wanted to be buried there. (He has since allegedly switched his intended resting place to Florida.)
In 2018, it was revealed that Trump staffers were receiving member discounts (of up to 70%) at the club’s pro shop—reportedly Ivanka’s idea—alarming the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, a government ethics watchdog in D.C.
As one of Trump’s more under-the-radar residences, Seven Springs has 60 rooms—15 of which are bedrooms—in addition to a bowling alley and three pools. He reportedly paid $7.5 million for the property in 1996 and planned to turn it into a golf course but it has remained a private house to this day (probably because of vehement opposition to the plan from local residents). Today the property is worth $24 million, according to Forbes.
Bedford is about 45 miles north of New York City, and the Trump family seems to use the 50,000-square-foot house, which was built in 1919 by former Federal Reserve Chairman and Washington Post publisher Eugene Meyer—he was the father of Katharine Graham, who was married there in 1940—as a weekend and summer getaway. Trump reportedly, and perhaps unwittingly, allowed the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi to stay in a tent there during the United Nations General Assembly meeting in 2009 when no hotels would allow Gaddafi as a guest.
In 2021, Seven Springs was the subject of two criminal investigations by the state into whether Trump had purposely inflated the property’s value, claiming it was worth a staggering $291 million, in order to reap tax benefits.
Trump Winery has a long and strange history. To summarize, Trump paid the “bargain-basement price of $8.5 million on a deal that could ultimately be worth $170 million,” netting him 1,100 Virginia acres, including the vineyards and winemaking operation “that had been meticulously cultivated by its previous owner, Patricia Kluge (who defaulted on her loans, after which the property was seized by Bank of America). He installed his second-oldest son, Eric, as president of the nascent Trump Winery.
Today, the 23,000-square-foot, 45-room main building, known as Ablemarle House, is part of the Trump Hotels brand (a recent search showed rates starting at $299 per night). And while Trump has said that he owns “one of the largest wineries in the United States,” the winery’s website itself states that it “is a registered trade name of Eric Trump Wine Manufacturing LLC, which is not owned, managed or affiliated with Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their affiliates” (more on that here).

President Trump put this walled Caribbean compound on the market in the spring of 2017 with a reported listing price of $28 million, which was soon dropped to $16.9 million. He bought Le Château des Palmiers in 2013 and has used primarily as a rental property—and it remains so today, per its website. The 5-acre estate has two villas totaling 10 bedrooms, plus pool cabanas, a fitness center, tennis court, outdoor bar, and an estate manager’s house.
Rentals (the villas can be rented together or separately) start at $35,000 per week during low season, and goes up to $140,000 for the week during the peak holiday season in December.
The 2,500-square-foot house, which the president’s father built in 1940, was, for a short while, available to rent for $725 a night on Airbnb.
