Inside Donald Trump's 17-Acre Palm Beach Home in Mar-A-Lago With Gold Leaf Interiors

Former President Donald Trump is renowned for his instincts in the business industry. He's a mogul and a genius in the world of finance with his fierce skills. Without a doubt, his real estate portfolio is just as attractive as his career. 

The crown jewel of this decorated real estate profile is the breathtaking and luxurious mansion situated at Mar-a-Lago, spread across 17 acres of land. Trump spends most of his time on the scenic property, surrounded by a beautiful bay, sandy shores, and a lush and vibrant garden. According to Forbes' 2022, Mar-a-Lago is worth $350 million.

The Winter White House

The sensational home is also known by another alias - 'The Winter White House'. It was originally designated to be used as a summer home for presidents to relax in. It was a humble abode dedicated to hosting the nation's most powerful people and facilitating social gatherings. 

The home was initially owned by Marjorie Merriweather Post, a cereal heiress who greatly contributed to the dainty yet rustic interiors, followed by an excellent color palette throughout the home. The mansion was sold to Trump in 1985. The business pioneer initially quoted $28 Million. But actually got it for a mere $5 Million. The property was also considered a National Historic Landmark in 1980 before it was sold to Trump.

Inside The Mar-a-Lago's Amenities:

The former President of the United States home is truly a work of art, a pinnacle of excellence. It's truly nothing short of breathtaking. The home has a total of 58 bedrooms and 33 bathrooms, followed by luxurious amenities to keep its residents well-pampered. The home boasts five different tennis courts and even 12 fireplaces spread across the home to spend a cozy evening in, followed by a luxe pool, gym, and other modern amenities to keep its residents busy.

Gold Leaf Ball Room:

Donald Trump is renowned for his extravagant lifestyle and literally spares no expense, especially when equipping his home with the best of the best. The home boasts an authentic private club that spans 20,000 square feet and includes a majestic ballroom.

What's truly exquisite is the gold-leaf-decorated room. Everything is tainted gold, from the high ceiling to the vintage-style wallpaper and chandelier. For this, Trump shelled out a whopping $7 Million. But it wasn't just the interiors; his bathroom fixtures, specifically the sink, are plated with solid gold.

The Archaic Library

In 2016, Anthony Senecal told The New York Times about the wisdom-filled library that resides within the stunning mansion. Senecal was reportedly a butler for the Trump family and offered a glimpse into the home. He began by talking about the flooring of the library and claimed that it had 'centuries-old British oak'.

The books, however, are the real highlight—a hub of ancient knowledge. The room of bountiful knowledge is said to boast dozens of 'first edition books'. Although a plethora of knowledge exists within those books, Senecal claims that "no one in the family ever read" them.
