There’s no shortage of decadent properties that Donald Trump has in his real estate portfolio. One penthouse in particular of his, however, is valued at around $100 million. The three-story unit in New York City is located on the 66th floor of Trump Tower, and it overlooks Central Park. The apartment features marble columns, gold finishings, and sprawling chandeliers. The estate also boasts a diamond and gold entrance door, and ceilings decorated with Greek myths. The renowned estate was designed by the late Angelo Donghia and inspired by Louis XIV.
While it may be extravagant, it also burns a hole in the pocket of New York taxpayers. The city spends an estimated $1 million a day to secure the area where the penthouse is located.”This is a very complex unit; building this unit, if you look at the columns and the carvings, this building, this unit was harder than building the building itself,” Trump told biographer Michael D’Antonio (per Travel and Leisure) in 2014.

The extravagant penthouse made headlines in 2022 when Trump was accused of overestimating the property’s value. According to Forbes, New York Attorney General Letitia James said the former president claimed his penthouse was triple the size it actually is. In financial statements for the years 2015 and 2016, Trump valued the property at over $300 million. In 2017, he changed tune and listed the penthouse at over $100 million, claiming the apartment was around 11,000 square feet, down from the 30,000 square feet he originally claimed.
