🏰 Mar-a-Lago Valuation Debate

This week, Donald Trump's famed Mar-a-Lago estate became a focal point in court. Lawrence Moens, a top Palm Beach real estate broker, defended the property's valuation, amidst allegations by New York Attorney General Letitia James of inflated asset values. Trump's team argues that Mar-a-Lago is worth between $750 million and $1 billion, countering James' claim that Trump and his organization falsely boosted property values. Moens, aligning with Trump's valuation, suggested the estate could fetch up to $1.2 billion, citing its unique waterfront location and potential interest from elite buyers like Elon Musk or Bill Gates. 🌊 💵
