The Messenger reports:
Former President Donald Trump has sought to discredit a New York judge’s blockbuster ruling threatening his business empire by arguing that Mar-a-Lago alone is worth more than a billion dollars.
But fewer than three years ago, his tax representative told Palm Beach County officials that Trump “agrees” his private club in South Florida is worth just $26.6 million, according to records obtained by The Messenger.
“The petitioner agrees with the determination of the property appraiser or tax collector,” wrote Michael Corbiciero, the CEO of the tax consulting firm Marvin F. Poer & Co., in a letter dated Nov. 16, 2020.

Eric Trump just overvalued Mar-a-Lago in a tweet while responding to a ruling from a NY judge that held him, his brother, his father, and his employees liable for fraud related to the overvaluing of his properties.

As the Trumps go around saying Mar-a-Lago is worth $1 billion, reminder that the Trump holding company that owns Mar-a-Lago filed 2020 tax returns saying it had real estate assets of $28 million and a yearly net income *loss* of $3 million.

That time in 2020 when Donald Trump disputed the $26.6M valuation on his Mar-a-Lago property as being too high to try to lower his $511,673 tax bill.

NEW: Donald Trump and his adult kids now claim that Mar-A-Lago is valued at up to $1.8 BILLION.
But in 2020, Trump appealed the tax appraiser’s $26 million valuation and said it should be valued lower in order to lessen his tax burden. https://t.co/WDe41oScYK

“The various properties are likely to be sold at fire sale prices. Among these is the portion of Trump Tower that Trump still owns; his own triplex apartment there; his golf courses; and Mar-a-Lago, the Florida mansion he bought in a corrupt mortgage deal decades ago.” https://t.co/MU5wzOOSQC
