A pair of reports on Donald Trump from Florida. "Donald Trump's handyman special is No. 1 on Forbes magazine's list of "Most Expensive Homes in the U.S. 2006. Trump paid $41 million at a bankruptcy auction for the 18-bedroom French Regency-style mansion, now in the final stages of renovation. Its $125 million price tag is a record asking price for a U.S. residence, 'and perhaps the world,' Forbes notes."

"Trump says he won't accept a penny less than his asking price."

"Perhaps that belligerent stance is what lands The Donald at the bottom of American Affluence Research Center's recent poll of the wealthiest 10 percent of U.S. households"

"The Trumpster was the only businessman to receive negative ratings from the rich, 60 percent of the sample rated him thumbs-down."

From the Sun Sentinel. "In a departure from his large endeavors, Trump has announced plans to build the Trump Las Olas Beach Resort, a $100 million condo-hotel with just 95 units on Fort Lauderdale beach."

"Partnering with Trump will be Stuart Kessler. Kessler's targeting buyers from the Northeast as well as Canadians, South Americans and Europeans and said Trump's name will be a boost to sales. 'It lends a tremendous amount to the value of the property,' Kessler said. 'Everybody wants to have a piece of Trump.'"

"Kessler expects the project to help spur redevelopment in the Fort Lauderdale beach area. 'Right now that end of town seems to have all the T-shirt shops, and the project will start to improve that section,' he said."

"Many in the brokerage community seem to be bullish on this project. 'It is high-end and opulent,' said Jeff Kahn, a broker. But Kahn questioned whether potential buyers will pay top dollar on a stretch of the beach that has not yet been fully redeveloped."

"'With all of the efforts to revitalize Fort Lauderdale, it will be interesting to see if the potential buyers find this particular location enticing enough for the price,' he said. 'I'm sure the developer has done its studies, but I don't see all of these buyers.'"
