Enter Donald Trump. The mogul's reported first offer for the property - $28 million - was turned down. But he persisted and the market slumped. Trump ended up getting the property for $5 million in 1985, and paid an additional $3 million for Post's antiques and furniture.

随后特朗普出现了。据称，这位地产大亨最初出价2800万美元购买海湖庄园遭到拒绝。但他没有放弃，而适逢房地产市场暴跌。特朗普最终在1985年以500万美元的价格购得庄园，并额外支付300万美元购买波斯特的古董和家具。

Trump turned Mar-a-Lago into a private club in 1995 and built a 20,000-square-foot ballroom with $7 million in gold leaf. He also spent $100,000 on four gold-plated sinks. Basically, there's gold everywhere you look. (When Trump is in residence, he and his family stay in a private wing of the house.)

1995年，特朗普将海湖庄园改造成一间私人俱乐部，并斥资700万美元打造了一个2万平方英尺 Last spring, Trump's former butler and Mar-a-Lago's unofficial historian, Anthony Senecal told the New York Times about the house's "library, paneled with centuries-old British oak and filled with rare first-edition books that no one in the family ever read."

2016年春天，特朗普的前任管家兼海湖庄园非官方历史专家安东尼•塞内加尔对《纽约时报》描述了这里的图书馆：“墙壁镶嵌着百年英国橡木，馆内摆满了珍贵的初版书籍，不过这家人谁也没读过那些书。”
