Traditionally waterfront homes have the front yard facing the water since that was usually the way people arrived at the home. I too thought it unusual until my family bought a waterfront home in Annapolis where the front faces the water. It was common practice to build that way and there’s even a new wrinkle with those houses having two architectural “fronts” where the “rear” facing side looks like the front of the house architecturally, in spite of the pool and bbq pits.

There is no truth whatsoever to this comment. Griffin is worth about $35 billion, and he is using his own funds to buy the house to use as his personal residence and it has nothing to do with Citadel investors. Many rich people have their primary residence in FL due to bankruptcy laws that allow a person to keep their primary residence even if they declare bankruptcy, no matter what the value of the home. Also, there is no state income tax in FL.
@@Mark-rw3kw It is 100% true and what happens most of the time. If you do some research into most of the properties owned by Ken Griffin; you’ll see their mostly all owned by LLC’s and titled as branches of citadel investment funds. It was even stated in this video where he bought up 4 floors of 9 W Walton in Chicago. The properties are treated like funds and are all managed by Citadel. I completely understand Ken Griffin’s massive net worth but to believe someone with this magnitude of wealth “cashes” out on properties like this for personal use is wrong; it’s always for investment purposes
the rarity to have that big of a plot is just absolutely insane. Can you imagine the rarity of Maralago, and that's a INCOME PRODUCING property, unlike kens...
Yeah, Mar a Lardo has a half year caretaker that drifts in with the tide every Spring. It is a business, not a home. Just because he chose to live at the business does not make it a home. That's the deal McLardo made when he was trying to take a whittle at his taxes.
Trump is a real estate guy, if he turns his home into a business, the asset can be depreciated and the costs, staff, and everything is a deduction. Trump does this as a tax strategy. Why do you think his office was below his penthouse in Manhattan? Or his New Jersey home is attached to his golf club? It’s all a tax strategy. Griffin isn’t much different, why do you think her abandoned Illinois for Florida? No state income tax and for a guy like griffin, most importantly, no capital gains tax. Finally,here in Florida if you file for homestead exemption on your primary home, the most your property taxes can increase is 3%/year by law, again, it’s all tax strategy.

Agreed, for all those haters - Ken is about to pay million and millions over the years that he will be living here on this property just in property tax. Then all the construction jobs, material, furnishings, upkeep expenses that all goes into the local economy. Don't hate the rich, chances are your employer that hired you is not poor.
Mar-a-Lago has an land-use deed restriction that prevents it from being used as a residence. That was done for tax purposes but reduces its real estate value substantially.
Scott awesome report on Ken Griffin building a $1 billion mansion in Palm Beach. You are the few ones that do that kind of real estate report on RUclips. I like seeing the design of the house for the first time. It makes more sense for a billionaire like Ken Griffin to build a super expensive mansion than a developer like Neil Neomi who had to borrow money to build a super expensive mansion.
Listen, lets put this into perspective. Ok, so he has Billions of Dollars. Do people honestly think it's better that he just keep all that money in banks etc etc, instead of building a home that will ultimately employ hundreds of people for quite some time. Even down to the bolts that go into the home, keeps someone in a job. That is only the beginning for this property. They will have so many people employed full time to even care for the home, landscaping, and the list goes on and on. Trust me, the guy is going to pay these people well, because he's not going to just take any Joe Smoe off the street for this property. For some reason no one wants to think about the amount of money this guy will be spending on employing so many people with full time jobs, and jobs they will be happy to take. The only thing I get out of peoples complaints, that they wish it were them deep down. Plus, don't get me started on why doesn't he give to Charities etc. None of these people complaining know how much, and to whom he gives his wealth too, why, because you don't boast, and it's nobody's business.
A billionaire is a human being devoid of any humanity. People are numbers to them and every relationship is transactional. Why are you defending a robber baron? Are you a temporarily embarrassed Billionaire?
I live 20 minutes to the south of this future home. Those complaining about the success of this man can shove it. Along the way he has created 1,000's of jobs and businesses for all levels of incomes. This home he is building will create tons of employment in our area for years to come. Instead of nasty, jealous comments, celebrate this man's accomplishments. He obviously had a great vision and followed through on it.
That plan view doesn’t seem to line up with the actual aerial view of the plot. The road is curved on the lake side of the plot. And there is a turning circle + road on the north west corner of the plots.
I noticed that as well, seems like part of the redevelopment might include re-routing roads. Or that proposed plan might be dated prior to him acquiring a few more lots.
Just like the Gilded Age all over again. These guys pay no taxes and have so much money, it's not easily invested in anything. So we get this nonsense.
I find it interesting how some of these homes get so much press while others slide under the radar. If it’s not finished it’s close, a 70,000plus sqft house on the water in Naples Florida. Not as well known as Palm beach but getting to be as excessive.
Sum of all the parts of a new car or motorcycle is multiple times more costly than MRSP on any new car. 1 PC of a 2pc block on my 2000 R6 was a $1k part on a $8k motorcycle.
He wasn't handed down the money, so why should he apologize for it? He should do as he pleases with his $$...that's capitalism; the slow fish, the fast hunt! I'm happy for him!
He would be just as rich (maybe richer) if he didn't build the house, so I am not sure why anyone would complain. Spending one's wealth doesn't make a person richer.
Sounds good until you start digging into the history of what happens when too few people own too much. Does not last long. No it does not. Read your history books.
@@thomasallen6980 There are 21 people in the US alone that are richer than Ken Griffin and 9 of them are worth more than $100 billon (Griffin is worth $35 billion). The total wealth of all Americans is about $150 Trillion (not counting the government).
Chill people! The construction cost will only be around 20--30 millions ( let's make it $50M ) Most expensive were the lands he bought which adds up to a few hundred mils. Then the arts and other bs collection add another few hundred mils. Properties price are speculative and you can list for whatever price you want...
100% correct. Palm Beach Golf Club and Everglades Club are comparably appraised to MaL. Commercial property isn’t as valuable as residential, particularly in Palm Bech, which is almost exclusively residential.
@@tfredrick01 Absolutely. Check out the tax assessment of the nearby, much larger, more popular, more primely located Everglades Club and Palm Beach County Club (which actually have golf courses) and they’re valued very similarly.
You are 100% incorrect. Mar a Lago was residential, Trump relisted it and could relist again. It already has 2 acres of property, which generates income over 20 million a year. Don't try to justify political prosecution, it is wrong. Even if you value it as a business, it should be 2-300 million. 18 million is an absolute joke...
@@Cucumberflavoredmustard Maybe, who knows. But it'll be set in Miami and obviously there will be houses you can buy. However, I heavily doubt yyou'll be able to buy any property of this magnitude.
Regarding the Salt Room, I remember seeing one in (I believe) one of Enes Yilmazers videos. It more or less is just a fancy word for a steam room. The walls are made of salt blocks that when coming in contact with the warm steam of the "sauna"(?) it apparently is good for your lungs and stuff.

Antilia: The world’s most expensive private residence in the world, Antilia is owned by Mukesh Ambani. Estimated value: *$2 BILLION* Buckingham Palace: With an estimated value of nearly *$1.6 BILLION* as per a May 2022 Bloomberg report, the 775-bedroom official residence belonging to the British Royal Family, since 1837, is reportedly in the top 3 of the most expensive house in the world.
It’s a hard one to distinguish the so called most expensive property. There’s one on the Black Sea worth 3 bill, the sultan of Brunei had a 6 billion residence built. It depends on how you define most expensive house
Most expensive home in the World is not this one. There are two others that have been already built that have a price tag a lot higher. One is Putin's place in the Black Sea that costs over $ 3 Billion to build. The number one property in the World (although already "old") is the Sultan of Brunei's place in Bandar Seri Begawan which with time adjusted inflation costs a whooping $ 6,4 Billion to build.
Question?? Wouldn’t the property taxes on many houses that are on separate improved properties be higher than what he is building? For example: 20 mansions on 100 acres or one mega mansion on 100 acres?
He overpaid for all the houses/lots and raised the property tax rate on each of them with his purchases, and his final home will Have a $1 BILLION tax basis with I am guessing an annual property tax bill exceeding over $20 MILLION every year.
@@alanaldpal950 That's what I would call a liability and not an asset. But at least he will not need a bridge loan from another hedgefund for 100m a year.
The main problem with this future house is that it is situated very near the take off and landing path of Palm Beach International Airport. The planes are extremely loud on takeoffs and landings right over. I would not want to live there even if I owned a hedge fund and paid virtually no taxes like Griffin.
Am I stupid to think about hurricanes? His home is surrounded by water. I guess he doesn't need home owners insurance. If his house gets destroyed, he'll build another one. As long as mom is O.K.
No, you are not stupid at all. But the vast majority of the value is the land, not the building. Plus, it will probably be build like a commercial building with steel and concrete.
@@Mark-rw3kw I see. It would be nice, however, if he built an architecturally significant home. When money has no limit I can't understand why you wouldn't seek out the world's best architect.

@@davidhunternyc1 We haven't seen the end result yet. Many of the images in this video were not of the real house.

What I don’t get, well there’s a lot I don’t get about this kind of acquisitive behaviour, maybe it’s compensating for something, coping, anyway the big thing is that Palm beach is in the “extreme risk factor” category for property destruction so why invest so much into it when it can all be gone in an afternoon?
If he is worth $35 billion, what would you suggest he invest in? Al lot of people believe that in times of rapid and persistent inflation, real estate is good hedge.
@@steffenbendel6031 Most of the value is probably going to be in the land and not the building. Also as I explained earlier there is special value in having a homestead in FL due to no state income taxes and also protection of the property in case of bankruptcy. FL is one of the few states (maybe only) where the homestead is completely protected from personal bankruptcy no matter what the value of the property. These are reasons why so many wealthy people live in FL or are moving there, especially from states that are considering a wealth tax on a person’s net worth, not just on their income. Jeff Bezos recently announced he is moving to FL from Seattle where he started Amazon.
Stop saying that the judge valued Mar-A-Lago at $18 million. Trump did that when the town valued it at $21 million and he appealed because he didn’t want to pay all those property taxes, so he attached encumbrances to the deed and got the town to appraise it at $18 million. The judge was just agreeing with him. If Trump thinks it’s worth a billion dollars, then let him pay Palm Beach all the back property taxes at the billion dollar valuation.
“The 1993 agreement that allowed Mar-a-Lago to become a private club explicitly bans club members from staying there for more than 21 days per year, and for more than seven days at a time.” Although it’s still being contested the local legal opinion says “…Trump is considered an employee of Mar-a-Lago-which the ex-president’s attorneys argued he is-then under Palm Beach’s Zoning Code, he would be legally allowed to live there…”. Source: Forbes “Trump has signed a deed in 2002 with the National Trust for Historic Preservation exclusively limiting the property to being used as a club.…”Mr. Trump had deeded away his rights to use the property for any purpose other than a social club," state attorney Andrew Amer said…”. Source: ABC News
Take years to get that sewage smell out of that club. The land is worth more but the Post Mansion will probably not survive the owner leaking sewage all over the club. No idea why she does not plug that nastiness.
I agree that a little risky, and even if the sea doesn't rise there could be a catastrophic hurricane. But they did show that the land is being raised with a lot of dirt to make it about 30 feet higher (the dirt is shown in the video).
@@Mark-rw3kw Palm Beach homes have been there over 100 years without hurricane destruction so they are safe. Many on that stretch like II Palmetto have been there since the 1920s so it's safe.
@@SirRobbins In 1992 Hurricane Andrew completely destroyed everything just south of Miami, so there is no guarantee that Palmetto is safe. Earth is 4 billion years old, not 100 years old. But I am sure that Griffin's home will be reasonably hurricane proof. Realtors always minimize the risk of everything. Many thousands of homes in the US have been flooded that were in the 100-year flood plane and supposedly at very low risk of flooding.
I really don't think people get how much you can get as a multi-billionaire and this just demonstrates how insane just having a few million will take you.
10 years? Probably a decade or five later. But since he has 33 of those billions using one on a retirement home before it is a fact isn't much for him.
The world's most expensive home is in Mumbai and this doesn't come close. Mukesh Ambani built his family a skyscaper for a home at almost 2 billion dollars.
It’s coming… I know I’ve been saying that a while. Lots of headaches with the contractors lately. Honestly I’ve been embarrassed to film it the past 6 weeks. Just a mess and lots of delays. We’re getting back on track though.
People need to separate the concept of cost vs worth vs appraised value. These can all be vastly different values. The cost of the property is so outrageous because Griffin wants to accumulate high end properties in one neighborhood to build a huge compound. Obviously, once that’s know the homeowners hold out for super premiums which he’s willing to pay. So the value of the properties is much less than the cost. Then the city does an appraisal which is based on a formula applied to all properties. That tends to be the lowest value of all three. This applies to the cost of the construction of the home vs “value” of the home vs appraised value. In the end, it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Is it odd that an incredibly intelligent man like this, who is spending so much on a home that is located right on the Atlantic is not concerned about the rising of the oceans? Or does he know something about all the hype not being true and in fact water levels are not increasing?
Wrong in that area a 25 acres property with 2 acres of property only worth 18 million. You better get your numbers correct, before you get a lawsuit for fraud!!
Has to do with the zoning. One is zoned residential and the other is commercial for a wedding banquet hall. Obviously the home is worth more than the business property.
@@thomasallen6980 No, it has nothing to do with it. It has to do with politics and a weaponized justice system. Mar a Lago was residential, it can be residential again.
Totally agree with you that who cares what he builds, he's going to employ so many people to complete this project. People say he should just give his money away, to those people I say, give your money away to others then? "Oh wait that's different...I don't have billions?" Why give it away to people that won't appreciate it anyways? Build stuff and employ people! Capitalism at its greatest!! This guy obviously has had great career and feels like indulging himself in a new home. Who cares? Go for it! I can't wait to see what it actually becomes after it's done.
The best part about it is that, he’s building it for himself. Unlike the one, it’ll have a personal and probably homier feel because it’s catering to one man’s desire (which probably isn’t the design of a shopping mall)

Then all the construction jobs, material, furnishings, upkeep expenses that all goes into the local economy. Don't hate the rich, chances are your employer that hired you is not poor.
Well i don't hate the man for amassing a huge fortune, I will hate him if in the Sunshine State, the land of sun and no solar on his humongous roof.
Mar-a-Lago has an land-use deed restriction that prevents it from being used as a residence. That was done for tax purposes but reduces its real estate value substantially.
The building can be demolished, but just the land underneath it is worth close to 500 million
Such a boss move, bringing many mega mansions down to build your own, mega mega mega mansion.
Ken is a big investor in art aswell. Has a big car collection too
I definitely want to see the progress of this property!
Scott awesome report on Ken Griffin building a $1 billion mansion in Palm Beach. You are the few ones that do that kind of real estate report on RUclips. I like seeing the design of the house for the first time. It makes more sense for a billionaire like Ken Griffin to build a super expensive mansion than a developer like Neil Neomi who had to borrow money to build a super expensive mansion.
Makes us all realize that Trump cant have any money if he has restrictions on how many nights a year he is allowed to sleep at his social club.
Listen, lets put this into perspective. Ok, so he has Billions of Dollars. Do people honestly think it's better that he just keep all that money in banks etc etc, instead of building a home that will ultimately employ hundreds of people for quite some time.
Even down to the bolts that go into the home, keeps someone in a job.
That is only the beginning for this property. They will have so many people employed full time to even care for the home, landscaping, and the list goes on and on. Trust me, the guy is going to pay these people well, because he's not going to just take any Joe Smoe off the street for this property.
For some reason no one wants to think about the amount of money this guy will be spending on employing so many people with full time jobs, and jobs they will be happy to take.
The only thing I get out of peoples complaints, that they wish it were them deep down.
Plus, don't get me started on why doesn't he give to Charities etc. None of these people complaining know how much, and to whom he gives his wealth too, why, because you don't boast, and it's nobody's business.
A billionaire is a human being devoid of any humanity. People are numbers to them and every relationship is transactional. Why are you defending a robber baron? Are you a temporarily embarrassed Billionaire?
@@popcorn8153 You sound more frustrated with your own life, then the person presented here.
I live 20 minutes to the south of this future home. Those complaining about the success of this man can shove it. Along the way he has created 1,000's of jobs and businesses for all levels of incomes. This home he is building will create tons of employment in our area for years to come. Instead of nasty, jealous comments, celebrate this man's accomplishments. He obviously had a great vision and followed through on it.
Now this is what i call a good retirement plan.
That plan view doesn’t seem to line up with the actual aerial view of the plot. The road is curved on the lake side of the plot. And there is a turning circle + road on the north west corner of the plots.
I noticed that as well, seems like part of the redevelopment might include re-routing roads. Or that proposed plan might be dated prior to him acquiring a few more lots.

Palm Beach Is The Perfect Place For It 🌴🌅🌊
I find it interesting how some of these homes get so much press while others slide under the radar. If it’s not finished it’s close, a 70,000plus sqft house on the water in Naples Florida. Not as well known as Palm beach but getting to be as excessive.

I saw his second to last purchase house in the internet and it was beyond amazing, so sad he's just gonna demolish it.
Pretty wild
He wasn't handed down the money, so why should he apologize for it? He should do as he pleases with his $$...that's capitalism; the slow fish, the fast hunt! I'm happy for him!
That’s what I was thinking too!
He would be just as rich (maybe richer) if he didn't build the house, so I am not sure why anyone would complain. Spending one's wealth doesn't make a person richer.
Sounds good until you start digging into the history of what happens when too few people own too much. Does not last long. No it does not. Read your history books.
@@thomasallen6980 There are 21 people in the US alone that are richer than Ken Griffin and 9 of them are worth more than $100 billon (Griffin is worth $35 billion). The total wealth of all Americans is about $150 Trillion (not counting the government).
Chill people! The construction cost will only be around 20--30 millions ( let's make it $50M ) Most expensive were the lands he bought which adds up to a few hundred mils. Then the arts and other bs collection add another few hundred mils. Properties price are speculative and you can list for whatever price you want...
True! Plus I don't think he'll ever list this house for sale. So we'll never know.
I've been wondering what they were doing on Google Earth. I thought they were building a hotel or something.
it comes down to deed restrictions. Ken's home will be unrestricted and can be a full time residence. Mara Lago can't.
7:55 The entire reason Maralago isn't worth much is because you CAN'T build homes on it. You legally can't live there full time.
100% correct. Palm Beach Golf Club and Everglades Club are comparably appraised to MaL. Commercial property isn’t as valuable as residential, particularly in Palm Bech, which is almost exclusively residential.
So you agree with the valuation of 27 million?
@@tfredrick01 Absolutely. Check out the tax assessment of the nearby, much larger, more popular, more primely located Everglades Club and Palm Beach County Club (which actually have golf courses) and they’re valued very similarly.
@@tfredrick01 idk
You are 100% incorrect. Mar a Lago was residential, Trump relisted it and could relist again. It already has 2 acres of property, which generates income over 20 million a year. Don't try to justify political prosecution, it is wrong. Even if you value it as a business, it should be 2-300 million. 18 million is an absolute joke...

Mar-a-Lago by law cannot be used as a residence and cannot be subdivided for residences so it’s ultimate value is much less!
Plus the owner has a leaky bag, so the whole place smells like feces, even his sister moved away from next door. Just too nasty.
Regarding the Salt Room, I remember seeing one in (I believe) one of Enes Yilmazers videos. It more or less is just a fancy word for a steam room. The walls are made of salt blocks that when coming in contact with the warm steam of the "sauna"(?) it apparently is good for your lungs and stuff.
About the build itself, I agree nobody should have this much money. idgaf that he "worked" for it (hedgefund managers don't work, they're all criminals), idgaf that he already donated 2Bs. If you have 35Bs on your account, donate 34 of them or never come see the light of day.
So you are saying that you or the government should decide how much money some one should be allowed to have? OK Comrade

Mar-a-Lago is deed restricted so it doesn’t have the same value as a normal home since it has to be used as a social club.
It is residential, Trump asked for it to be commercial after 10 years of ownership. It also has over 2 acres of buildings. But yes I guess it is only 18 million, after all the USA is a banana republic now.
@@nyali2
Trump wanted the tax breaks for Mar-a-Lago and he got it. He screwed himself on that.
@@briankearn6991 nope that would be a crime, you should understand how a tax value is set for a property. The owner has zero say, it is the state who sets it. Before you bring it up, you can’t set collateral for a bank either.

You just described the reason Trump is on trial for falsifying his companies valuation.
Antilia: The world’s most expensive private residence in the world, Antilia is owned by Mukesh Ambani. Estimated value: *$2 BILLION*
Buckingham Palace: With an estimated value of nearly *$1.6 BILLION* as per a May 2022 Bloomberg report, the 775-bedroom official residence belonging to the British Royal Family, since 1837, is reportedly in the top 3 of the most expensive house in the world.
It’s a hard one to distinguish the so called most expensive property. There’s one on the Black Sea worth 3 bill, the sultan of Brunei had a 6 billion residence built. It depends on how you define most expensive house
Most expensive home in the World is not this one. There are two others that have been already built that have a price tag a lot higher. One is Putin's place in the Black Sea that costs over $ 3 Billion to build. The number one property in the World (although already "old") is the Sultan of Brunei's place in Bandar Seri Begawan which with time adjusted inflation costs a whooping $ 6,4 Billion to build.
Question?? Wouldn’t the property taxes on many houses that are on separate improved properties be higher than what he is building? For example: 20 mansions on 100 acres or one mega mansion on 100 acres?
He overpaid for all the houses/lots and raised the property tax rate on each of them with his purchases, and his final home will Have a $1 BILLION tax basis with I am guessing an annual property tax bill exceeding over $20 MILLION every year.
@@alanaldpal950 The rich need their compounds to be feel safe.
@@alanaldpal950 That's what I would call a liability and not an asset. But at least he will not need a bridge loan from another hedgefund for 100m a year.
The main problem with this future house is that it is situated very near the take off and landing path of Palm Beach International Airport. The planes are extremely loud on takeoffs and landings right over. I would not want to live there even if I owned a hedge fund and paid virtually no taxes like Griffin.
No. He is building that monster in Palm Beach because Citidel is moving to South Florida.
For the right price, everything is for sale.

This is cool, super cool. Living the dream
Great interview. Thanks for the insight. 😎
25 acres on the water in Palm beach is unbelievable.
Hope its waterproof for what it costs. Not will it flood, but when will it next to the beach
The property is basically 85% landscaping and 15% an actual house.
Well, that's better than an average urban property scrape, where the structure footprint is like 90 percent of the lot.
Oh,so the under ground foundation is probably a huge parking garage.
Am I stupid to think about hurricanes? His home is surrounded by water. I guess he doesn't need home owners insurance. If his house gets destroyed, he'll build another one. As long as mom is O.K.
No, you are not stupid at all. But the vast majority of the value is the land, not the building. Plus, it will probably be build like a commercial building with steel and concrete.
@@Mark-rw3kw I see. It would be nice, however, if he built an architecturally significant home. When money has no limit I can't understand why you wouldn't seek out the world's best architect. I would like to see a home on the level of Neutra's Kaufmann house in Palm Springs or Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth house in Illinois. Make is singular. Make it perfect... and make it safe for mom.
@@davidhunternyc1 We haven't seen the end result yet. Many of the images in this video were not of the real house. Also, it's hard to design a house that large that would appeal to you, especially since it is likely to be structurally more like a commercial building (concrete and steel) due to the location in a hurricane area. I am sure that he is using a very well known architect, even if it doesn't meet your aesthetic standards.
@@Mark-rw3kw Yes, I'm afraid it will be a McMansion. Sure, there will be travertine marble.... yadayadayada. Concrete and steel can be brilliant. Let's wait and see, I guess.

@@Mark-rw3kw But this house probably is not a good investment, more like an oversized consumer product.
@@steffenbendel6031 Most of the value is probably going to be in the land and not the building. Also as I explained earlier there is special value in having a homestead in FL due to no state income taxes and also protection of the property in case of bankruptcy. FL is one of the few states (maybe only) where the homestead is completely protected from personal bankruptcy no matter what the value of the property. These are reasons why so many wealthy people live in FL or are moving there, especially from states that are considering a wealth tax on a person’s net worth, not just on their income. Jeff Bezos recently announced he is moving to FL from Seattle where he started Amazon.
In India there is a more expensive home...

Stop saying that the judge valued Mar-A-Lago at $18 million. Trump did that when the town valued it at $21 million and he appealed because he didn’t want to pay all those property taxes, so he attached encumbrances to the deed and got the town to appraise it at $18 million. The judge was just agreeing with him. If Trump thinks it’s worth a billion dollars, then let him pay Palm Beach all the back property taxes at the billion dollar valuation.
Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani have 2 billion dollar house in Indian.
The estimated price of the Ambani residence is approximately USD 2 billion. So basically not the world's most expensive house.
“The 1993 agreement that allowed Mar-a-Lago to become a private club explicitly bans club members from staying there for more than 21 days per year, and for more than seven days at a time.” Although it’s still being contested the local legal opinion says “…Trump is considered an employee of Mar-a-Lago-which the ex-president’s attorneys argued he is-then under Palm Beach’s Zoning Code, he would be legally allowed to live there…”.
Source: Forbes
“Trump has signed a deed in 2002 with the National Trust for Historic Preservation exclusively limiting the property to being used as a club.…”Mr. Trump had deeded away his rights to use the property for any purpose other than a social club," state attorney Andrew Amer said…”.

Take years to get that sewage smell out of that club. The land is worth more but the Post Mansion will probably not survive the owner leaking sewage all over the club. No idea why she does not plug that nastiness.
I guess he's not too worried about sea level rising.
I agree that a little risky, and even if the sea doesn't rise there could be a catastrophic hurricane. But they did show that the land is being raised with a lot of dirt to make it about 30 feet higher (the dirt is shown in the video).
@@Mark-rw3kw Palm Beach homes have been there over 100 years without hurricane destruction so they are safe. Many on that stretch like II Palmetto have been there since the 1920s so it's safe.
@@SirRobbins In 1992 Hurricane Andrew completely destroyed everything just south of Miami, so there is no guarantee that Palmetto is safe. Earth is 4 billion years old, not 100 years old.

Many thousands of homes in the US have been flooded that were in the 100-year flood plane and supposedly at very low risk of flooding.

The world's most expensive home is in Mumbai and this doesn't come close. Mukesh Ambani built his family a skyscaper for a home at almost 2 billion dollars.
I know the one … I guess this is the most expensive single family residence
The sad aspect is that the house will only last one generation as palm beach will be underwater in the coming decades.
Is it a Single Story?
your house update?
It’s coming… I know I’ve been saying that a while. Lots of headaches with the contractors lately. Honestly I’ve been embarrassed to film it the past 6 weeks. Just a mess and lots of delays. We’re getting back on track though.
Most expensive home? What happened to Antilia in India? Wasn't it like $1.2 Bill?
People need to separate the concept of cost vs worth vs appraised value. These can all be vastly different values. The cost of the property is so outrageous because Griffin wants to accumulate high end properties in one neighborhood to build a huge compound. Obviously, once that’s know the homeowners hold out for super premiums which he’s willing to pay. So the value of the properties is much less than the cost. Then the city does an appraisal which is based on a formula applied to all properties. That tends to be the lowest value of all three. This applies to the cost of the construction of the home vs “value” of the home vs appraised value. In the end, it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Well said
Is it odd that an incredibly intelligent man like this, who is spending so much on a home that is located right on the Atlantic is not concerned about the rising of the oceans? Or does he know something about all the hype not being true and in fact water levels are not increasing?
Wrong in that area a 25 acres property with 2 acres of property only worth 18 million. You better get your numbers correct, before you get a lawsuit for fraud!!
Has to do with the zoning. One is zoned residential and the other is commercial for a wedding banquet hall. Obviously the home is worth more than the business property.
@@thomasallen6980 No, it has nothing to do with it. It has to do with politics and a weaponized justice system. Mar a Lago was residential, it can be residential again.
Totally agree with you that who cares what he builds, he's going to employ so many people to complete this project. People say he should just give his money away, to those people I say, give your money away to others then? "Oh wait that's different...I don't have billions?" Why give it away to people that won't appreciate it anyways? Build stuff and employ people! Capitalism at its greatest!! This guy obviously has had great career and feels like indulging himself in a new home. Who cares? Go for it! I can't wait to see what it actually becomes after it's done.
I just got a random feeling that Ken won't get to enjoy that house at his retirement. He is pretty disliked #gamestop.
