How Did Palm Beach become Billionaires' Row?

Can you do a video about Jeffrey Epstein's house in Palm Beach?

👍

My grandparents lived in Palm Beach (no not a big mansion just a very nice 2-bedroom home) way up north on Bahama.

I can tell you that Marjoire's descendants, actually my cousins, did not like that Trump bought the place.

This was really good. I watched it on bluesky! ❤

Trumps Post estate is probably the most valuable home in America, and to think that Lunatic joke of prosecutor from NYC had it valued at only 4 million. Some people are truly deranged. The land alone is worth more than a Billion. The house is gorgeous and a Triumph of Architecture. Thank you President Trump and family for lovingly restoring and taking care of it.

I've seen quite a few historic homes, but the biggest "Wow" inducing moment for me was walking up to Whitehall.

Remember trumps place is only worth what $18? $28M? That judge lost his mind

Flagler’s grandaughter was a leading force in having White Hall preserved as a house museum. I loved seeing Consuelo Balsan’s Florida home. I believe she had this while she kept a home in New York City as well. Of the houses shown, Consuelo’s is my favorite. Thanks Ken for another wonderful episode!

My favorite will always be Marble Hall. I did not know Henry Flagler died from falling down that majestad stairway. I have been there 5 x. My grandparents lived in West Palm not far from the intercostal waterway.

Whitehall is gorgeous! I would love to drive down Billionaires Row and look at the homes, if they could be seen. Thank you for this episode, Ken. Very interesting.

It makes sense that Marjorie Merriweather Post created Mar-A-Lago (it means sea to lake in Spanish)

I love grand mansions, but I would not enjoy living in one. Nice to visit and worth preserving, but not as homes for individuals. Thank you for the video!

I don't think Trump should still be able to have it

Your composition and writing are totally great. Amazing is your narration.

How does Whitehall compare to say the Breakers/the Elms/Marble House?

Great video. Personally, I don't think I'd like Florida, but my mother may have prejudiced me.

Palm Beach, a monument to American wealth inequality. No money was ever made there, just spent. It's known for nothing but wealth and opulence, no other culture at all. Though an interesting phenomenon, not nearly as interesting as a place that sprung from the industries of the area.

Trump 24

In 20 to 30 years it will be lake Palm Beach … everything under water since climate change isn’t taken seriously by Repubs.

BY GENTERFACTION!! ALONG WITH PRICE 'IN OUT $$$

Cocaine lots of it 😂

One cat 5 hurricane and beach front takes on a whole new meaning. Its also when not if.

Mar-a-lago is my favorite. Makes me happy just to hear the name.😊

Palm Beach is closer to the Gulf Stream than anywhere in the world. Walk along a Palm Beach Beach at dusk and feel the Gulf Stream energy.

❤Ocean Boulevard!!Fantastic! During the 80's I lived at 4200 South Ocean Blvd. Drive to my work at Worth Avenue was every morning a dream. So beautiful. ❤What beautiful memories! ❤love from Finland

When Harry Thaw, the murderer of Stanford White, walked into Mar a Lago, he exclaimed “ My god! I shot the wrong architect!”. If this actually happened or not isn’t known, but it was the rumor at the time.

I hit the left side of Mara Lagos entrance with the left side mirror on my vehicle. Actually, the day he was elected the 1st time. 😂

(GM)*(Happy Thanksgiving)*(WIN)* (JOY)* (JOHN 3:16)*👸🌠🙏🏻💡🥇🏡🌠

Very interesting houses lots of history ,I like them all ❤️🙏👍✝️

Well Post’s wish of Mar e Lago being a winter White House sorta became a reality thanks to TRUMP. ❤

Go Trump. He'll always be known as the people's president

Most of these were built before the advent of residential air conditioning, so they'd likely sit unused for 8 months out of the year. Of course snow birds are very much still a thing, but 100 years ago it was a necessity rather than simply a luxury to summer in northern climes.

Then why did they sell it!! DUH!

I have to say Mar-a-lago is my favorite, now president elected Donald Trump owns it.

Homes on a busy street with traffic noise that you have to cross to get to the beach— no thank you I will take my home anytime which is on the beach with my hammock swinging beneath the trees listening to the birds singing and watching the monkeys play. Where? Costa Rica 🌴😎🌴

Who gives a fuck!!!

It was all about impressing other rich people. Wasteful these people had so much money they didn't know what to do with it so they would build these over the top mansions at a time were people were starving to find a job to feed there kids..

I live just across the waterway in West Palm Beach from Palm Beach. Palm Beach is not for the super wealthy anymore. There are small apartments and condos you can rent for about 2000 a month still today. Palm Beach is also where we go grocery shopping, have breakfast, and leave it by and serve or bicycles. We live close enough to go to the beach on our bicycles. And often go for a beautiful bike ride on the island. Nobody calls at billionaires row here. It’s just known as Palm Beach. These days, parts of the island are a traffic nightmare because of Donald Trump. Ironically, most people did not vote for Donald Trump in Palm Beach. However, they will be greatly affected by his visits to Mira Lago.

The beaches on Palm Beach are beautiful for sure. And the town must allow them to remain open to the public. However, there are no facilities whatsoever. Parking is hard to find and incredibly expensive. There are no restrooms, or vendors near the beach. Nothing to eat. But it is perfect for us, as we live close enough to ride our bikes to the beach.

You're wrong. The story begins with Donald Trump. End of. Sit down.

In town, the stretch of oceanfront property south of Southern Blvd is what is referred to as Billionaire’s Row.
North of Southern is called the Estate Section”.
Mrs Post might be happy to know that the circus 🤡 still comes to M-A-L.

You keep showing Whitehall, Flagler’s home, now a museum. Not near Billionaire Row.

These great men have the most beautiful grand homes in the US
Just literally amazing

He has Guga Food's accent.

Daddy T’s home

Remember when Democrats tried to say with a straight face that Mara Lago was only worth 14M and then wonder why no one believes them

You forgot to mention the Phipps family and their history in Plam Beach.

Well, I see there's no shortage of disgruntled communists among those commenting. By the way, you all can help your cause by moving to Venezuela , Cuba or China, because you are not here for me or for the 75-plus million of us who elected Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States. But you're not going to do that, are you? You see, you want the good life for yourselves and all the other Bolsheviks, but not for those who believe in liberty or freedom. Perhaps you might want to chip-in to help rebuild the old Soviet Union or the Berlin Wall?

I’m from so Flo palm beach has always in my recollection been a beautiful place of extreme wealth and extreme poverty & amazing beaches
