AttractionsTrump's Unreal Estate -- No trip to Palm Beach is complete without at least a glimpse of Mar-A-Lago, the stately residence of Donald Trump, the 21st century's answer to Jay Gatsby. In 1985, Trump purchased the estate of cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post for a meager $8 million (for a fully furnished beachfront property of this stature, it was a relative bargain), to the great consternation of locals, who feared that he would turn the place into a casino. Instead, Trump, who sometimes resides in a portion of the palace, opened the house to the public -- for a price, of course -- as a tony country club (membership fee: $100,000). Rumor has it Trump is selling the place. In the meantime, he continues to make his presence loudly known in Palm Beach. While there are currently no tours open to the public, you can glimpse the gorgeous manse as you cross the bridge from West Palm Beach into Palm Beach. It's located at 1100 S. Ocean Blvd., Palm Beach. Click the names below for more detailed information. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
