Where is Mar-a-Lago? Donald Trump’s mansion home after presidency
LANDMARK area and resort Mar-a-Lago was built between the years 1924 and 1927.
Years after the death of Mar-a-Lago’s original owner Marjorie Merriweather Post, Donald Trump acquired the estate and serves as his primary residence post-presidency.

Where is Mar-a-Lago?
Mar-a-Lago is a resort and historic landmark built by cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post located in Palm Beach, Florida.
The 62,500-square-foot property was completed in 1927 and has roughly 126 rooms.
When Post died in 1973, she gave the property to the National Park Service, hoping it could be used for state visits or as a Winter White House.
However, the property was returned to the Post Foundation by an Act of Congress in 1981 due to its costly maintenance.

Since 2019, Mar-a-Lago has acted as Trump and Melania’s primary residence.
Throughout his presidency, he was often seen at the residence when he was not at The White House.
Previously in December 2020, the Trump family clashed with the DeMoss family over certain stipulations involving the former party’s accommodation.
At the time, the latter party reportedly initiated legal action to prevent them from moving back.
Mar-a-Lago also has a membership-based club with only 500 exclusive passes available[/caption]
A letter was sent by an attorney for the DeMoss family to authorities in Palm Beach and the US Secret Service, stating Trump had lost his legal right to permanently live there due to a supposed 1993 agreement.
The letter suggested the town “avoid an embarrassing situation” for the former president and requested them to inform Trump he can not live there full time.
Trump allegedly signed a “use agreement” in 1993 after he converted the private residence into a social club.
Part of the deal forbids any of the club members from spending more than 21 days a year in the club’s guest suites or staying there longer than seven consecutive days.
However, Trump visited more than 30 times during his tenure in the White House, breaking his rule with more than 130 nights worth of stays.
Trump was also required to ensure more than half of the club’s members live or work in Palm Beach and that there were no more than 500 members.
What is the Mar-a-Lago Club?
Donald Trump was facing financial difficulties in the late ’90s and decided that he would turn Mar-a-Lago into small, divided properties to make money.
However, the city council rejected the proposal, and the estate was turned into a members-only club.
The estate operates as a resort and hotel for the members and rents out venues for private events.
Membership at the Mar-a-Lago Club required a $200,000 initiation fee up until 2012 when it was lowered to $100,000.
In addition, the annual dues are $14,000, and there’s an annual food minimum of $2,000.
According to the website, the exclusive membership grants paying owners access to the “Trump Spa and Salon, the pool, the Beach Club, breathtaking guest rooms and exclusive suites, a state-of the-art-fitness center, award-winning tennis courts, beautiful croquet lawns, and an entertainment series which hosts internationally world-renowned talent.”
Mar-a-Lago members can also enjoy using Trump Golf properties in the US.
According to the New York Times, billionaires such as William I Koch, Thomas Peterffy, Richard LeFrak, Jeff Greene, insurance executive George Norcross, real estate developer Bruce Toll, and Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy are members of the exclusive club.
Inside Tyson Fury’s £1.7million Morecambe mansion – with gold curtains and radiators and a red marble kitchen
IT is a home fit for the Gypsy King.
Back in 2020, Tyson Fury upgraded from his £550,000 abode to a stunning £1.7million home in Morecambe.
And the heavyweight champ, 33, known for his love of flashy cars, has given glam wife Paris free rein to decorate.
Clearly crafted with an open cheque book, the mansion has gold curtains and radiators throughout.
There are huge chandeliers dangling from the ceilings, and the kitchen is decked out in red marble.
It’s no wonder Fury, who has amassed a net worth believed to be over £100million, says he’s retiring and wants to put his feet up in his huge house.

Sneak peek
It’s missus Paris, 32, who often gives us a glimpse into her fab property.
On Instagram, she regularly shares snaps in different rooms – dressed head-to-toe in designer clobber.
One photo showed the blonde clutching a Chanel handbag while stood in front of a set of ornate gold curtains.

In another, the beauty is surrounded by family in her kitchen – sipping a coffee and laughing.
Behind her, red-topped marble decorates the surfaces. And there’s also a silver chandelier, fit for a queen, hanging from the ceiling.
In the hallway, Paris – wearing a patterned blouse – leans on a gold radiator that’s clearly a statement piece. Next to her is an outstanding floor to ceiling mirror.
For the musical, underneath the wood staircase is a grand black piano that sits on marble flooring.
Height of luxury
The Furys don’t skimp when it comes to high-end luxury.
Tyson practically lives in a set of £390 Versace gowns, while Paris is a huge fan of the Italian fashion brand.
Paris told us her favourite part of the house was her walk-in wardrobe.
“Having this walk-in wardrobe was a big dream of mine. I got it and I do appreciate it,” she said.
Incredibly, it houses her mega shoe collection that’s worth an estimated £50,000.
And they are certainly proud of their digs – keeping on top of housekeeping in-between looking after their six children.
Paris once described Tyson as ‘a bit of a clean freak’, so you can bet you won’t find a spec of dust anywhere.
Plot twist
According to land registry records, Fury bought the property for £1.695million in December 2020.
It was paid for by their firm Tyson Fury Ltd, and is mortage-free.
They used to live in a £550,000 house that overlooked Morecambe Bay, before moving to a new plot that was once home to a static caravan-style.
However, the previous owner had it demolished and replaced it with a stone-clad palace – complete with a water fountain on the driveway.
In terms of security, the property has a castellated front wall, and a wrought-iron black and gold fence. Of course, that boasts its own lavish decor – with lion motifs and four eagle sculptures on the gate posts.
Unwanted burglars are warned off by signs that reveal the home is guarded by CCTV.
Tyson Fury has previously boasted about having an expensive property portfolio.
He once revealed he had bought a mansion in Marbella for £6million, although that was never confirmed.
While last year, he claimed to have splashed the cash on a home in Las Vegas, which again was never substantiated.
But Fury’s love affair with Morecambe knows no bounds.
He recently agreed to sponsor League One side Morecambe FC. And he appeared at the nearby Sultan of Lancaster Experience restaurant where he cut the red ribbon to open the establishment.
