Donald Trump‘s Caribbean beachfront mansion is now on sale for US$16.9 million — after the price was slashed by $11 million.

The sprawling estate was first listed last spring by Sotheby’s International Realty for US$28 million, a price The Washington Post reported was much higher than other similar properties on the island of St. Martin.

The sale of the mansion, and Trump’s other business holdings is being overseen by his son Donald Trump Jr. and Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg, according to the Post.

It’s unclear why the president is selling the estate, but the sale is expected to be one of the largest transactions involving  Trump’s assets since he became president.
