Here's The Truth About Mar-A-Lago

Mar-a-Lago is President Donald Trump's primary residence, a resort club for the extremely wealthy, and an estate with more history than you might expect. First built in 1927 by Post cereal company heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, Mar-a-Lago has since gone on to become one of America's most infamous properties.

According to a 2017 write-up in Town & Country magazine, Mar-a-Lago was designed to have 58 bedrooms and 33 bathrooms, at the cost of $7 million — double its initial price tag. In 2020, the same property would have cost around $105 million to build. But Marjorie Post wasn't deterred by the high price. She had more than enough money.

Today, Marjorie Post isn't a household name. But in 1927, she was. Marjorie Post was heir to Post Cereals, then known as Postum, inheriting it when she was just 27 years old. By all accounts, she was a savvy businesswoman, but she liked to spend her money as much as make it. She would eventually own one of the world's largest sailing yachts, a triplex penthouse in New York, and an extensive art collection.

Marjorie Post was both a socialite and a philanthropist, not only creating a multitude of networking opportunities among the rich and elite but also working on charitable contributions later in life, particularly to do with World War II, when she opened the estate to veterans in need of occupational therapy. It only makes sense that Mar-a-Lago — now known for its high society members — would become a part of her legacy.
