New York City stain Donald Trump has taken his brand of obnoxious down to Palm Beach, where he has finally unloaded his enormous ocean-front mansion there, which he bought for $41 million in 2004 from Abe Gosman, for a cool $95 million. The buyer of 515 N. County Road is Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, who made his money ruining the earth's soil with fertilizer.
The transaction is said to be the largest real estate sale ever, which is a pity, because Manhattan's wealthy have been trying so hard to unload homes that are a fraction of the size for sums larger than that.
Though the house sold for $95 million, down from the $125 million asking price, and Mr. Trump paid all closing costs and brokerage commissions, he is still calling it a $100 million sale. For extra obnoxious factor.
