The Trump Paradox: Luxury and Decay Side by Side The recent sale of Donald Trump's childhood home for $2 million has highlighted the juxtaposition of opulence and neglect that often accompanies his business ventures.
This Tudor style estate in Queens, once a symbol of American middle class aspirations, has been transformed into a luxury property with high end finishes.
The previous owner, Tommy Lin, had invested heavily in renovations, spending $835,000 on the property last year, plus an additional $500,000 for an eight month overhaul that included a chef's kitchen and spa like bathrooms.
