During the 70s.. the federal government held it as a presidential retreat, but gave it back because it couldn't afford the million dollar a year upkeep.. The house is Mar-a-Lago... Now, if the government couldn't afford it, you might wonder who could.. Meet Donald Trump, real estate man and multimillionaire... Mar-a-Lago has been for sale since 1980. The asking price was a cool $20 million'.. But Trump reputedly paid around $5 million dollars..
