For years, President Donald Trumpâs wildly overpriced childhood home in Queens, NY, has languished on the market. Undeterred, the owners of the modest Tudor are now trying to crowdfund their way to a huge, $3 million payday by appealing to the presidentâs most devoted fans.
The sellers launched a GoFundMe campaign urging Make America Great Again die-hards to give whatever they can. If they successfully raise the full $3 million, the owners will give the five-bedroom, 4.5-bath house to the president as a gift.
âLove Trump? Thank President Trump by contributing to this campaign to buy his childhood home in his honor,â proclaims the campaign.

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.
