Palm Beach Island Florida is home to a slew of insanely wealthy people. The 16-mile stretch of beautiful coastline is also one of the richest in the United States. It is home to Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump's massive estate and private club where he spends nearly every weekend of his presidency. Trump is not the only billionaire mogul living on Palm Beach Island. The neighborhood is rife with millionaires, billionaires, royals, the rich, famous, and notorious (Bernie Madoff easily takes that title). At least 21 billionaires live on Palm Beach Island. There is one prince, one princess, two radio disc jockeys, hedge fund managers, three Trumps – Donald and his two sisters – and more.
Donald Trump acquired Mar-a-Lago in 1985 for the bargain basement price of $5 million (about $11 million today). The property was the former home of cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post. Mar-a-Lago is worth an estimated $175 million.
Let's take a look at some of the millionaires, billionaires, and other assorted neighbors of Donald and Melania Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate and the estimated value of their Palm Beach Island homes from least to most valuable.
