The President elect bought the estate in 1993 with then-wife Ivana, splashing out $10 million (£8 million) for the estate which includes a golf club, spa and ballroom.
These pictures show the lavish mansion Donald Trump will be spending Thanksgiving in this year.
The President-elect will spend time at his sprawling estate in Palm Beach, Florida, USA, with wife Melania and son Barron.
His Mar-a-Lago estate includes a 58-bedroom mansion , a beach club, ballroom, spa, tennis and croquet courts.
But even the lavish amenities can't detract from the garish interiors, which are said to be modelled on European palaces.

The soon-to-be-POTUS had purchased the exclusive 58-bedroom property in 1985 for $10 million
He renovated the property to reflect his own gaudy tastes, with expensive furniture sourced from across the world.
One of the rooms is decked out in mahogany wood walls and floors, with baroque-style dining chairs filling it.
Persian-style rugs are used throughout the property and oil paintings hang on the walls, with ceiling murals and chanderliers lighting up the rooms.
One of the bedrooms contains a plush four-poster bed dripping in gold with a matching dressing table and chair.

The grand dining room emulates Rome's Chigi Palace, with a marble-topped 34-seater table. The 'Spanish Room' - historically used by visiting Congressmen and European royalty - retained its tiled fireplace containing niches fitted with porcelain 'ladies-in-waiting' figures.
Sculpted roses climb the fireplace and windows of the intricate children's suite, where the daughter of Mar-a-Lago's original owner, cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, grew up.
In 1995, Trump extended the majestic 'Jazz Age' estate to include a new beach club, ballroom, spa, tennis and croquet courts and opened it up as a country club, for which members nowadays pay $13k a year plus an initial $100k fee.
Trump has since revamped more of the 55,700sq ft main building, which has 33 bathrooms.
These images, taken in 1993 by local photographer CJ Walker, also show Trump's former 727 jet flying over the property.
