White House for Biden? From Virginia’s Trump Winery to New Jersey’s Trump National Golf Club, Donald, Melania and Barron have plenty of other places to stay come January 20
Donald Trump’s four-year stay at the White House might be coming to an end – and with it access to Virginia’s presidential countryside retreat Camp David – but despite his failure to win a second term, the outgoing president is hardly going to find himself homeless come January 20.
Here are some of the real estate mogul-turned-politician’s other most-frequented properties.
Trump Tower, New York City

Before they moved to Washington, Donald, Melania and Barron lived in luxury at a penthouse on Fifth Avenue. Barron reportedly had his own floor in the 10,000-plus sq ft triplex, estimated to be worth US$54 million. The 58-storey Trump Tower, near 56th Street, was completed in 1984 and the penthouse’s 24-karat-gold interiors were modelled after the Palace of Versailles. Designed by Angelo Donghia, the opulent home also has Greek mythical tales painted on the ceilings, a clear view of Central Park and is decked out with a marble fireplace and a diamond-embellished front door.
Rather conveniently, the building lobby has a Starbucks, Trump Grill restaurant and gift shop selling Trump brands including Ivanka’s jewellery brand.
Mar-a-Lago, Florida

Trump’s estate in sunny Palm Beach is even bigger than his primary NYC home, with 58 bedrooms, 33 bathrooms and 12 fireplaces. It was built by cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post in 1927 and purchased by Trump for US$5 million in 1985, but is now believed to be worth much more. The 80,000-sq-ft property is surrounded by landscaped gardens and boasts numerous pools so it’s no wonder the family ventures down there for weekend breaks as often as possible.
