It’s well-known that Donald Trump is a very wealthy man, but his actual net worth has always been a bit of a question mark.

Throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump has boasted about his wealth, at times claiming to be worth as much as $10 billion.But as recent reports have shown, it’s likely that his net worth is considerably less – according to a recent Forbes investigation, for example, Trump’s wealth has declined in recent months as the value of his retail and office properties has gone down, and his net worth could now be closer to $3.7 billion.

One thing is for certain, though: regardless of how many billions Trump has, he knows how to spread his fortune around.

Aside from running some of the best-known apartment buildings in the country, he also owns a personal portfolio of homes from Manhattan to Palm Beach, all of which are drenched in gold.

In 1995, Trump purchased a 213-acre property in Bedford, NY, called Seven Springs. The 39,000-square-foot stone and glass mansion serves as a suburban home base for himself, his wife Melania, and their son Barron. Trump once told The Real Deal, “I have homes in other locations, but I generally split my time between Bedford, Palm Beach and Manhattan.”

Trump reportedly paid $7.5 million for the property. He originally planned to use it as a golf course but faced strong opposition from the locals, who were concerned about chemical runoff from the course going into a nearby lake.
