These two men own an impressive amount of personal real estate.

Donald Trump’s personal holdings include a US$54 million penthouse in the New York City building named after him, and Mike Bloomberg’s properties include a 5-story town house on New York’s Upper East Side.

Both billionaires own properties in Westchester County, New York, as well as in Florida. However, when it comes to international warm-weather destinations, the two differ, with Trump owning a beachfront estate in St. Martin and Bloomberg spending his time in Bermuda. 

Both portfolios are estimated to be worth more than US$100 million, but the former New York City mayor appears to own more homes than the president. Bloomberg’s portfolio consists of least 11 homes while Trump owns eight properties. (The Trump Organization is the owner of several properties closely associated with the president, such as the Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida.)
