West Palm Beach is buzzing with rumors that Elon Musk might drop $100 million on a penthouse at The Bristol, a luxury building right across the bridge from Mar-a-Lago. If the deal goes through, it would break real estate records, surpassing the $42.6 million spent by beauty mogul Sydell Miller in 2019.
The Bristol’s 19,000-square-foot penthouse offers stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic, with high-end finishes and top-tier amenities. It’s also just a short drive from Trump’s estate, which makes sense given Musk’s strong ties with the former president.
While the deal is still a rumor, it’s clear that West Palm Beach is becoming a bigger player in the luxury real estate game. With new condos like La Clara, Forte, and South Flagler House on the rise, the city is attracting buyers who want modern living, high ceilings, and sleek amenities—things Palm Beach just can’t offer because it’s built out.
With over 7,000 new units in the works, West Palm Beach is quickly shaping up to rival Palm Beach as a luxury hotspot. Whether or not Musk seals the deal, the buzz around his potential move is proof the city is stepping into a new era of luxury living. Things are getting interesting around here—stay tuned.
