Donald Trump sells house for $95 million
The Apprentice star has sold what is believed to be the most expensive house in the United States for a whopping $95 million.
“I love breaking records,” the ever-humble Trump, 62, said Wednesday. “And this is a record.”
Despite the nearly nine-digit price tag, Trump insists the buyer, Russian fertilizer tycoon Dmitry Rybolovlev, has landed a bargain.
“At the same time, I believe the buyer made an absolutely fantastic deal, and time will prove this right,” the Palm Beach Post quotes the real-estate developer as saying.
It’s no load of, ahem, fertilizer. Trump’s original asking price was $125 million.
Trump may soon be outdone by his very own buyer, though. Rybolovlev, estimated to be worth $12.8 billion, is said to be considering tearing down Trump’s house and putting up his own.
That could potentially qualify as history’s most expensive teardown, the Post notes.

“The Godfather” mansion for sale
A mansion that once belonged to publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst was put on the market Monday for $165 million.
The seller, attorney-investor Leonard Ross, bought the Beverly Hills property in 1976 and is seeking a “lifestyle change,” said his real-estate broker, Stephen Shapiro. It is believed to be the most expensive residential listing in the United States.
The asking price surpassed the $155 million being sought by developers of a 10-bedroom estate in Montana’s Big Sky country, and the $135 million price of an Aspen, Colo., compound owned by Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, former ambassador to the United States.
Hearst bought the mansion in 1947 for about $120,000. The 1920s-era, pink stucco estate is shaped like the letter H and is spread across 2.63 hectares north of Sunset Boulevard.
It boasts three pools, 29 bedrooms, a movie theatre, a disco and separate residence for the security staff.
Hearst hosted frequent parties for the famous and powerful there. John F. Kennedy and his bride, Jacqueline, spent part of their honeymoon at the estate in 1953. The pair later returned when the mansion was used as the West Coast campaign headquarters for Kennedy’s presidential campaign.
The estate was also featured in the film “The Godfather.”
