If you thought getting a second key under the doormat was impressive, wait until you hear about Donald Trump's real estate spree. The man has collected homes like most of us collect Amazon packages — frequently and without remorse. So how many houses does this guy actually have? Let's take a casual stroll through his absolutely bonkers property portfolio.
Let's Start With the Big Apple
New York is home to Trump's crown jewel: Trump Tower at 725 Fifth Avenue. This triples-over-gold tower serves as both his home and the headquarters of his empire. His penthouse alone spans over 10,000 square feet with ceilings painted to look like the Sistine Chapel — because regular ceilings are for regular people.
He also reportedly owns units in other Manhattan buildings like Trump International Hotel & Tower on Columbus Circle. Imagine having multiple apartments in the same city most people can barely afford one room in. New Yorkers reading this just spat out their $18 lattes.
Must Read
The Miami Magnate
Trump's South Florida presence includes a massive estate called Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, which he literally converted into a fancy social club. This place has twenty-seven bedrooms, which is roughly twenty-five more bedrooms than any desert needs. The man literally turned his house into a members-only hangout — yours truly was not invited.
He also reportedly owns other properties in the Palm Beach area and nearby Miami. Because when you're rich, one mansion is basically a starter home. How opulent is that?

New Jersey's Trump National
Up in New Jersey, Trump owns Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, which is a sprawling compound featuring large guest cottages and a farmhouse retreat. The cozy farmhouse reading room reportedly consists of a room with knotty pine walls and a comfy chair. New Jersey residents have one response: "Of course he does."
Overseas Mansions and Vacation Spots
The international collection includes a $17 million Victorian-style mansion in Scotland's Aberdeen golf resort area called Menie House. He also reportedly owns vacation property along the coast of Scotland, because even presidents need a rainy place to take a nap. Then there's Trump International Hotel Washington D.C. — a property purchased for over half a billion dollars — which raised eyebrows everywhere.

Anywhere With a Putt-Putt Course?
Since it's difficult to get an exact count, estimates put his various residential properties somewhere between upto twenty to thirty or more. When you own golf courses and commercial buildings accompanied by residential quarters, the player's counting opponent gets dizzy. Trump himself surely keeps a list — possibly with gold ink.
The Bottom Line
The honest answer is that nobody knows the precise number, but let's just say: more homes than most people have socks. Every time you think you've found his last property, surprise — there's another one hiding behind a hedge somewhere. Trump's housing philosophy can be briefly summarized as: if you can see it and afford it — buy it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go check if my landlord raised my rent again. Something tells me Donald Trump won't be making that phone call today.
