There’s A Multimillion-Dollar Trump Mansion For Sale, And People Have Ethics Questions

President Donald Trump is selling his beachside mansion in Saint Martin via his corporate trust, and the move has raised a few eyebrows.

Le Chateau des Palmiers is listed by Sotheby’s International Realty. The two-villa oceanfront property at Plum Bay is situated on almost five acres of land with a total of 11 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, a beachside pool, fitness center and an eight-foot boundary wall.

The Washington Post reports that the gold-accented mansion is on the market for $28 million, far more than the $19.7 million asking price back in 2013 when Trump bought it. Four local realtors told the Post the price is also considerably more than those of other luxury properties in the area, the “most luxurious” of which are listed between $15 million and $17 million.

In 1873, Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner dubbed their era the Gilded Age in America, characterizing the display of new wealth in America after the Civil War. Impressive homes like this one, now on the market for $50 million, were built for magnates like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and Cornelius Vanderbilt at the end of the 1800s. In fact, Vanderbilt’s granddaughter once owned this mansion — the last of its kind in New York City, according to the New York Post. The six-story Beaux Arts building includes 32 rooms, with eight baths and two elevators. If you’re partial to grand entrances, there’s also a dramatic white marble staircase. The residence was built in 1905, and a wood stove from that year still remains. Plus, the property comes fully furnished, including the artwork and murals. Although $50 million may seem like a steep asking price, this home’s history truly is priceless.

Nashville Predators coach Peter Laviolette is smack-dab in the middle of his sixth season as the team’s boss. The Preds have made the playoffs in each of his previous five seasons, and we imagine they’ll be in the thick of the hunt for the Stanley Cup again this season.

But Laviolette won’t be raising an off-season toast in 2020 at his Longboat Key, FL, retreat. He recently listed the fully remodelled Gulf Coast property for $3.4 million.

And “remodel” is a bit of an understatement. The 4,132-square-foot home underwent a complete transformation. A 2014 video of the home showcases a completely different (and dated!) residence. The main floor was fashioned with red-brown tile floors and columns all over the place. There’s also a metal spiral staircase not far from another staircase.

The fashion designer has created a home that is deeply and authentically her own.

When the American fashion designer Anna Sui moved into her turn-of-the-century Greenwich Village building almost two decades ago, she found a close friend and, eventually, a second apartment. Her next-door neighbor was Murray Lerner, an Oscar-winning documentarian known for his films on Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, and Itzhak Perlman. The two bonded over their shared love of rock music, and Sui even used her neighbor’s wrought-iron balcony as an alternate entrance to her apartment whenever she forgot her keys. (“He was always up late,” she says.)

Sui always told her neighbor that she wanted his place if he ever left. Sure enough, when Lerner moved out a few years ago, she took over his space and embarked on a three-year renovation to create a home out of two distinct spaces. Connecting the two apartments was a challenge, since they are technically part of two different buildings that share a facade.

Sui’s solution was to insert two hidden doors on either side of the library that allow her to move from one apartment to the other. The inconvenience is outweighed by the benefits: Sui gained a dining room, a living room, a master bedroom, two bathrooms, and, perhaps most crucially, considerable closet space.

Building your dream home is an enterprise of patience and tenacity—both qualities Sui has possessed since she was little. Born and raised in Detroit, she is the daughter of two Chinese parents who met while studying in Paris.

News of the Academy Award winner’s bayside home listing comes as he emerges from retirement to star in The Irishman.

Hollywood’s beloved Italian American actor, Joe Pesci, just listed his longtime beach home in—you guessed it—The Jersey Shore. A New Jersey native whose roles span from Vinny Gambini in My Cousin Vinny to Harry in Home Alone, Pesci’s 7,200-square-foot mansion in Ocean County’s Lavallette borough can be yours for $6.5 million. While Pesci may be saying goodbye to his contemporary Art Deco abode, we suspect that his recent emergence from acting retirement—with a starring role in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishmen—may have something to do with his decision to part ways with the place he’s called home since 1994.

According to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com, Pesci’s home is located on the shore’s West Point Island neighborhood, with the bay as its backyard and the beach just a short walk away. The open floor plan, wrap-around balconies, and large windows provide views to the bay and beyond. Bright, spacious, and perfect for large-scale hosting, some star features of the home include a media room, private elevator, and heated pool with a spa.

The singers lived on the charming Tennessee estate for 35 years.

We can’t get enough of the epic romance that is Johnny and June. And now, we can live it: The Hendersonville, Tennessee property where the duo spent nearly their entire marriage is up for sale.

Johnny Cash purchased the 4.5-acre property shortly before proposing to June Carter in the late ‘60s, according to a spokesperson for the property. The couple lived there until they died just four months apart in 2003.

The original home burned to the ground in a tragic 2007 fire, but the Cash footprint is still found on the property. June’s wardrobe room, which survived the fire, is now a modern studio apartment. The garage where Johnny kept his cars still stands.

The wisecracking comedian is certainly no longer on the D-list.

Funny gal Kathy Griffin’s new $10.5 million estate in Bel Air is A-list Los Angeles, CA, real estate. The fiery redhead, who loves to rank on the who’s who of Hollywood, just snagged this nine-bed, 12-bath property — coincidentally located next door to one of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s homes. Although Kimye spend the majority of their time at the main residence in Hidden Hills, CA, you know Griffin got a little satisfaction out of having Yeezy’s Mediterranean Bel Air estate next door.

Measuring 13,377 square feet, the Mediterranean-style home was built in 2003 but recently renovated. Tucked behind guarded gates in Bel Air, a long, private driveway leads up to the contemporary home that features a welcoming, flowing open floor plan. A gourmet chef’s kitchen with a butler’s pantry sits adjacent to the family room, which features French doors that open out to the patio and swimming pool. Overlooking the pool and canyons below, the master suite offers a luxurious setup that includes dual baths, spacious closets, and stunning views.

The 90-year-old Hugh Hefner will live in the mansion for the rest of his life.

Hugh Hefner, who once starred on reality show “The Girls Next Door,” has closed a deal to sell his beloved Playboy Mansion to the boy next door.

The 20,000-square-foot home has been sold for $100 million to Daren Metropoulos, the principal at Metropoulos & Co., a private equity firm that owns Hostess Brands, according to Reuters.

It’s the biggest home sale ever completed in Los Angeles County, according to the L.A. Times.

Metropoulos is actually Hefner’s neighbor, having purchased the house next door from Hef in 2009 for $18 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The mansion, located in the ritzy Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles, was put on the market for $200 million in January.

As part of the deal, the 90-year-old Hef will be allowed to live in the mansion for the rest of his life.
