However, a deeper investigation into the Mar-a-Lago sale found that the 1100 S Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach property was sold to a company called Mar-a-Lago, Inc.
The Express reported that the owner of Mar-a-Lago, Inc. – and its registered agent – is none other than 45-year-old Donald Trump Jr.
I would caution some patience and suspicion on this story.
Zillow says that the sale information was a mistake and has since been removed.
Meanwhile, this headline is sourced from a straight-up clickbait site reposting a story from a news website with a history of mixed factual reporting.
We all get the fun brain chemicals coming out when a big juicy story like this appears and validates our worldviews and we can’t wait to share and amplify it, but spreading misinformation is bad, m’kay?
I’d also add that there’s no official or legal record of this property transfer. The story is supported by nothing more than an entry in Zillow that has since been removed.

Thank you for your service. This shows that legally neither of them owns the club, as with most rich people bullshit, and that Jr has been head of the corporation that owns it for some time.
Thanks, good to know.
