Why does Melania Trump own a US$1.5 million 1-bedroom apartment in Trump Tower?
- The US first lady bought the luxury 33rd-floor property in January 2016 from the condominium board of the New York high-rise owned by her husband
The United States Office of Government Ethics has released US President Donald Trump's 2019 financial disclosure form.
These forms reveal much about Trump's finances – including the reimbursement of the alleged hush money that his lawyer Michael Cohen paid the adult-film actress Stormy Daniels – but the form also provides insight into First Lady Melania Trump's income.
Two of her disclosures were related to a one-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom apartment in Trump Tower in Manhattan that Melania Trump bought from the building’s condominium board for almost US$1.5 million in January 2016, according to The Real Deal property magazine and property consultants, City Realty.
Check out what we know about the mysterious apartment the first lady owns in Trump Tower, which was opened in 1983.
Located on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, Trump Tower's 68 floors contain 263 apartments.
The 26th floor housed the president's office for the Trump Organization. He reportedly had a private lift that could whisk him from his office to his penthouse.
The bottom floors feature space for offices, dining, and retail, while condominiums fill up floors 30 to 68.
