Mar-a-Lago,To Be Twenty (Avere vent’anni) the country club in West Palm Beach that is one of Donald Trump's marquee pieces of real estate, is at risk of sustaining damage due to Hurricane Matthew.

The Palm Beach Daily Newsreported that the estate has weathered numerous hurricanes since it was constructed in 1927.
The main building was constructed to withstand major weather events, with its structure attached to the coral reef that sits below the complex as well as many walls that a three feet thick.

Trump purchased the estate in 1985 for $5 million (and a few million more for the furnishing and antiques inside), turning it into a private club as well as retaining part of it for a private family residence.
Since then, the property has been among Trump's most renowned and, at times, controversial properties. Trump sometimes ran afoul his new neighbors in the affluent but quiet Palm Beach for breaking the community's local rules.
Trump used the estate to host major events featuring well-known celebrities. Trump also held his wedding to Melania Trump at the estate, resulting in the now-iconic picture featuring The Donald, Melania and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
