Maison de L'Amitié, French Regency mansion in Palm Beach, United States.
Maison de L'Amitié is a French Regency mansion located on the Palm Beach waterfront with direct Atlantic Ocean access. The main house features multiple wings, numerous bedrooms and bathrooms, and marble flooring throughout the interior spaces.
Robert Dun Douglass of the Dun & Bradstreet family first owned the oceanfront plot, sold in 1930 to tycoon Harrison Williams. Nursing-home magnate Abe Gosman built the French Regency mansion and named it Maison de L'Amitié; after his 2003 bankruptcy it went to auction in 2004, where Donald Trump outbid Jeffrey Epstein at $41.35 million. Trump sold it in 2008 to Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million, then a US record for a residence; the house was demolished in 2016.
The name means "House of Friendship", given by nursing-home magnate Abe Gosman, who built the mansion in the 1990s on land once owned by a Dun & Bradstreet family member.
