Here is a list of businesses owned by the former U.S. president.
Mar-a-Lago Club LLC
The former president's current residence, Mar-a-Lago Club, is a hotel and resort built as a private mansion in 1927. Its builder, Marjorie Merriweather Post, donated Mar-a-Lago to the government to serve as the winter White House, according to Investopedia. Upon her death in 1973, the government refused to receive the gift because it would be costly to maintain. Trump purchased the property in 1985 for a reported $8 million. During his presidency, he used it as his winter White House.
In 2019, it had a revenue of more than $21 million, with its asset value estimated at over $50 million that same year.
