According to The Washington Post, Trump bought the property in 2013, when it was listed by businessman Steve Hilbert for $19.7 million. The final sale price wasn’t made public.

The mansion has largely been used for vacation rentals and is listed on Luxuryretreats.com for stays that range from US$6,000 to $20,000 per night.

The website markets the property as the “ideal Caribbean getaway,” with close proximity to the airport, golf courses, nightclubs, and the city centre.

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.
