U.S. President Donald Trump’s childhood home is up for sale for the fourth time in four years, with a bloated Sh334 million ($3 million) target price that the auctioneer hopes his admirers will pay. Other Tudor-style houses on the street in Jamaica Estates, an affluent New York suburb which resembles an English park, are listed for only about Sh144 million ($1.3 million).
“It’s more likely that three million people will pay Sh111 ($1), or a million people will pay Sh334 ($3), or 300,000 people will pay Sh1,114 ($10), than one person will pay Sh334 million ($3 million),” Misha Haghani, principal at Paramount Realty USA. Trump’s late father Fred built the five-bedroom home with a fireplace and narrow driveway in 1940. In 1950, when Trump was 4, Fred moved the family into a grand 23-room mansion he built on two lots behind the backyard.
