Today, Mar-a-Lago is strongly associated with former President Donald Trump, but the club boasts an intriguing history as both an estate and a national historic landmark.
The Palm Beach, Fla., property wasn’t always a members-only club or used for official matters. It was first a large mansion built by Marjorie Merriweather Post, heiress to what was previously known as Post Cereals (now named General Foods Corp.) to live in as a home.
After Post’s death in 1973, she willed the property to the National Park Service in the hopes it be used for state visits or as an official residence for presidents of the U.S. However, the cost of upkeep was more than what Post had initially provided, causing it to eventually be returned to the Post Foundation in 1981.

In 1985, Donald Trump purchased the 17-acre Florida property for around $8 million, though some sources put the combined total cost to reportedly be around $10 million.
When he was president from 2017 to 2021, Trump used the estate as his “Winter White House,” and it was used as a vacation home during the winter months.

The romantasy sensation spent years toiling in the literary trenches before finding fame. She’s still adjusting to everything that entails.
Two days after it emerged that Loewe had pulled out of the upcoming menswear season in Paris, the house confirmed on Wednesday that it will stage a co-ed show in the French capital in March.
After making an eye-catching arrival in a cobalt Carolina Herrera dress on Friday at the inaugural WWD Style Awards, Quinta Brunson was back on the carpet, this time for the Golden Globe awards. The actress, who’s nominated for her leading role in “Abbott Elementary,” sparkled before the ceremony in a custom brown Roberto Cavalli gown designed by creative director Fausto Puglisi.
Puglisi wanted to take a sleek and body-conscious approach for Brunson’s look, which he described as modern and classic.
“I kept thinking of velvet,” Puglisi said in a statement about the custom gown. “Velvet is one of my favorite Hollywood fashion sensations. A beautiful chocolate velvet, covered in shining beads. Quinta is a star, and she deserved to shine on her special night.”
Brown velvet also made an appearance, in the form of obi belts, in Puglisi’s 2025 pre-fall collection.
Brunson is nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series — Musical or Comedy, marking her third Golden Globe nomination. She won the award in 2023. “Abbott Elementary,” created by Brunson, is in the middle of airing its fourth season on ABC.
