The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The judge should be sanctioned.


Yeah, no.

Mar-a-Lago is a problem property - a White Elephant, valued to the person who lives there now but not in the open market. It's 17 acres zoned single-family residential in a residential neighborhood subject to deed restrictions that prohibit it from ever being subdivided and from being used for anything other than a club and is subject to a historic designation restriction.

If you scraped Mar-a-Lago and put it on the market, but it was subject to that no-subdivision requirement, it wouldn't get $100 million (no single family home in the State had ever sold for that much when Trump valued it). Add in the historic designation and the club requirement, and you're not going to get anywhere close to that. If Trump said it was worth $400-600 million, he was lying through his teeth.
