Interestingly enough, both billionaires own properties in Westchester County, New York, as well as in Florida. However, when it comes to international warm-weather destinations, the two differ, with Trump owning a beachfront estate in St. Martin and Bloomberg spending his time in Bermuda.

In fact, New York magazine reported that at $3.3 billion worth of donations in 2019, Bloomberg gave away a higher figure than Trump’s entire estimated net worth of $3.1 billion.Keep reading for a look at both of their real estate portfolios.
