Designer Tom Ford was looking for somewhere away from his Mar-a-Lago-adjacent estate and recently purhased a brand new $104 million mansion
Back in 2022, Ford dropped $51 million on a massive, ultramodern Palm Beach mansion situated about a mile from Mar-a-Lago. However, five months later he sold it in a house swap with private-equity specialist Brian Kosoy’s nearby larger landmarked estate called Casa della Porta, for an undisclosed deal said to be worth more than $100 million…
Just as Ford was getting his British pounds in order for his London acquisition, Kosoy put the designer’s former Palm Beach estate on the market for a whopping $78.5 million. As of yet, Ford has made no plans to unload Casa della Porta and will maintain a Florida residence.
But even though Ford is neighbours with Tr*mp, Ford has had a contentious relationship with him for nearly a decade.
Prior to Melania’s husband taking up residence in the White House, Ford disclosed he voted for Hillary Clinton and admitted he had no plans to dress the incoming first lady for any events or appearances.
“I was asked to dress her quite a few years ago and I declined,” Ford said in November 2016. “She’s not necessarily my image.”
Yeah-no shit! Half of the US is saying the exact this today. Woof.
Hooray for money.
