Two in Trump’s political circle - Rudy Giuiliani and Wilbur Ross - also own homes on the island, as do James Patterson, Rush Limbaugh, Mehmet Oz and Stockard Channing. Rod Stewart and Howard Stern are among Trump’s coastal road A1A neighbors, and Stern apparently hired designers Tony Ingrao and Randy Kemper to design a special cat room for his wife Beth’s foster kittens. Separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Worth, it is a wonderland of pocket parks and Mediterranean architecture. Hillary Clinton, Hugh Jackman, Lady Gaga, Kate Bosworth and Matt Lauer are among those who have been spotted on JetBlue, and we certainly know the Trumps use it: Anti-Trump passengers accosted Ivanka and Jared Kushner on a flight this winter.
The seating is also very democratic, with no first class on the airline’s six flights a day from LAX to PBI. The airline with cushy seats, snacks, free Wi-Fi and first-run movies has so many flights to West Palm that even billionaires and society types hangar their private jets and go commercial, especially since Trump’s visits have made flying private more challenging. As interesting a time as it is to visit Palm Beach right now, it’s a cliquish area, so travelers may wish to consult THR‘s insider’s guide for optimum navigation. And Palm Beach Bath & Tennis Club, the neighboring club that reportedly snubbed Trump upon his arrival, now has to graciously accommodate the cars of Mar-a-Lago members and guests in their parking lot due to security closures.
Though Trump used to frequently sue Palm Beach for various grievances, including a $75 million law suit in 1995 for allowing planes to fly over his private club Mar-a-Lago, he now enjoys free air space over his winter White House, and has doubled initiation fees to $200,000. Palm Beach, the town upon which President Donald Trump once waged war, can now thank him for a 40 percent increase in retail business due to an influx of tourists and rising real-estate values.
