The Most Expensive Home In America

If you’re in the market for a new home, why wouldn’t you at least consider the most expensive house on the market?

Surprisingly, America’s most expensive home isn’t in Manhattan, San Fransisco, Los Angeles, or San Diego. It’s a $125 million mansion in Palm Springs, FL. Here are a couple pictures of the estate, dubbed “Maison de L’Amitie” (House of Friendship):

While the location of the property may surprise you, the owner should not. Donald Trump, the real estate mogul, reality television star, and author holds the deed to this beautiful, beach-front home. “The Donald” acquired the property in 2005 for a mere $41.35 million through bankruptcy auction. After pouring $25 million into renovations, the house now stands to make Mr. Trump almost $60 million.

That is, if he can find someone who can afford it!

So what does writing a check for $125 million give you? Here are just a few of the amenities the estate has to offer:

80,000 sq. feet of living space
7 acres of land
475 feet of beach front
4,000 sq. foot pool
18 Bedrooms
22 Bathrooms

At the standard 3% commission, the real estate agent stands to make almost $4 million off the sale of this home. Let’s hope Mr. Trump used a service like agentBOOST to cut his costs!
