Building Mar-a-Lago: Marjorie Merriweather Postโs Palm Beach showplace
Five years later, 40-year-old New York real estate developer Trump paid a recorded $5 million for Mar-a-Lago, then considered something of a white elephant, and reportedly bought the furnishings for another $3 million. (He later acquired the beach parcel for a reported $2 million.) He and the first of his three wives, Ivana, renovated the house, restoring many rooms to look as if Post still lived there. โฆ โI thought I was buying a museum,โ Trump told Palm Beach Life in 1986.
