Mar-a-Lago Valuation Dispute: Defense Expert Estimates Value at $12 Billion

Contrasting Assessments: Trump's Claim vs. Assessor's Appraisals

Palm Beach County assessor appraisal: Mar-a-Lago: $18 million - $276 million

Donald Trump's 2021 valuation: $426 million - $739 million

Defense expert's 2021 valuation: $12 billion

A defense expert has estimated the value of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club at over $12 billion, a figure significantly higher than previous appraisals.

In his valuation, Trump claimed that the property was worth between 426.5 million and 739 million, while the Palm Beach County assessor had appraised its market value at between 18 million and 276 million. The defense expert's assessment, however, places the value of the property at a staggering $12 billion.

This discrepancy has raised questions about the accuracy of the various appraisals and the potential implications for ongoing legal proceedings related to Mar-a-Lago's valuation.
