Billionaires want to be around him! Since Trump's election victory, the richest and most powerful have settled around the White House.
Washington, DC, once a fairly comfortable city with a civil service background, has suddenly become highly sought after by billionaires – resulting in a historic real estate boom.
Whether it's the moneyed elite, the Silicon Valley tech elite, or the financial industry — anyone who wants to influence Trump is flocking to the U.S. capital. Washington has always been a stronghold of former President Joe Biden's Democratic Party. But now it's being taken over by wealthy Republicans!
Fox News host Bret Baier had just sold his luxury villa — a replica of the French Château du Grand-Lucé with 1,500 square feet of living space — to Trump's new Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick.
The price tag is $25 million, about 23 million euros! With two billion in private assets, the former head of financial firm Cantor Fitzgerald can easily afford this.
PayPal co-founder and Palantir founder Peter Thiel bought a large house in Washington, DC.
Others are also doing the same. PayPal founder, German Peter Thiel, who has a fortune of $20 billion, bought a luxury mansion with a swimming pool and cinema in 2021.
Two days before Trump's inauguration, he organized a real power celebration: presidential successors Don Trump Jr., Vice President JD Vance, Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman (OpenAI), and other business leaders emphasized the political shift in power.
Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, with a net worth of $521 million, splurged in late January by purchasing a 8,000-square-foot mansion in the heart of Georgetown. He paid $12.5 million for it.
Extremely wealthy financier David McCormick lives in a 1,000-square-foot, light yellow mansion that dates back to 1853. He spent $10.5 million on the property. The Trump whisperer has served as a senator for Pennsylvania in D.C. since the beginning of the year.
Former Google executive Eric Schmidt, worth $25 billion, bought a grand estate for $15 million in 2023. Presidential widow Jackie Kennedy lived there.
The historic building (13 rooms, 1,500 square meters) is a listed building. Schmidt previously supported the Democrats, but has now contributed ideas on artificial intelligence to the new Trump administration.
Bezos has been a fixture in the capital since 2016. He is considered a pioneer in the choice of residence. Bezos, with a fortune worth $62.211 billion, bought the former textile museum in the Kalorama embassy district in 2016 – just before Trump's first presidency in 2017.
Bezos hosted legendary parties at the time, attended by Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, billionaire Bill Gates and movie star Ben Stiller. Today, Bezos, who also owns the Washington Post, is said to be even closer to Trump.
But a mystery remains as to where the richest person lives?
Trump's friend Elon Musk has so far refused to draw attention, at least in the multi-million dollar race for residential villas. He is reportedly spending the night at the headquarters of his efficiency authority DOGE. / Adapted Pamphlet from Bild /
