1. Trump Tower Penthouse, New York City
Value: Estimated at $54 million
Perched atop the 66th floor of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, this three-level penthouse was once Trump’s primary residence. Modeled after the Palace of Versailles, the 10,996-square-foot space boasts gold accents, marble finishes, and breathtaking views of Central Park. Trump has claimed the apartment was worth over $200 million, but its true value is closer to $54 million.

2. Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida
Value: Estimated at $250 million
Mar-a-Lago, also known as the “Winter White House,” is Trump’s most iconic residence and now his primary home. The 128-room mansion sits on 17 acres of prime Palm Beach real estate and is home to an exclusive private club. Trump bought the estate in 1985 for a mere $5 million and transformed it into a gilded paradise with a $7 million ballroom decorated with gold leaf. Mar-a-Lago's current membership fees stand at a whopping $1 million, with annual dues increasing over time.

3. Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster, New Jersey
Value: Estimated at $50 million
Dubbed the “Summer White House,” this golf club in Bedminster features luxurious cottages where the Trump family frequently stays. The club, with its pristine golf courses and upscale amenities, was where Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner married in 2009. Trump once even planned to be buried there, though recent reports suggest his final resting place may now be Florida.

4. Seven Springs Estate, Bedford, New York
Value: Estimated at $24 million
This 60-room mansion sits on 213 acres in Westchester County. Trump acquired the property for $7.5 million in 1996 and originally intended to turn it into a golf course. However, fierce local opposition led to it remaining a private residence. The sprawling estate, which includes three pools and a bowling alley, became the subject of multiple investigations into whether Trump inflated its value for tax benefits.
5. Trump Winery, Charlottesville, Virginia
Value: Estimated at $170 million
Trump Winery, located in the heart of Virginia’s wine country, covers 1,100 acres and produces award-winning wines. Trump bought the property for just $8.5 million, a steal considering its value today. Although the winery’s website claims it’s operated independently under Eric Trump, Donald Trump has boasted that it’s one of the largest wineries in the U.S.
