According to Weiner, Florida's size allows "something for everyone."
"If you want to be in the heart of the limelight, there’s Miami, if you want privacy and farms, there’s Wellington (big billionaire and celebrity enclave for equestrian enthusiasts and their children), Ocala (John Travolta), and Southwest Ranches (numerous pro athletes)," he explained.
"Palm Beach has always been the uber wealthy’s winter retreat, but it has now become home to many more billionaires and celebrities," Weiner said.
"I could go on and on about Ft. Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Naples, Tampa, Orlando and up the Eastern coast to Jacksonville."

Stallone purchased a sprawling $35.4 million home in Palm Beach in 2021.
"First of all, the air seems to always be clean," he told Fox News Digital about his change of scenery. "We're very, very near the water and that makes my wife incredibly happy. It makes me happy, and it's just something about it. It's just so lush."
"I went to college there for a couple of years. So, I'm not a stranger to the environment, but it fits my personality much better," he concluded.

Stallone's wife echoed her husband's sentiment. "It’s an incredible move, I have to say I’m really happy with our move and our change," she told Fox News Digital in 2023.
"I was born and raised there, two of our kids were born there, but now everyone’s out, our daughters moved to the East Coast … so there wasn’t really anything left for me in California," she continued. "A few of our best friends also moved, so I think it’s [a] good change, just making new friends, living a totally different lifestyle, I love it, I’m really happy."

As for President Trump, his florida estate – Mar-a-Lago – became his primary residence in 2019.
"I cherish New York, and the people of New York, and always will, but unfortunately, despite the fact that I pay millions of dollars in city, state and local taxes each year, I have been treated very badly by the political leaders of both the city and state," he wrote on social media at the time.
The 126-room, 62,500-square-foot (5,810-square-meter) mansion is Trump’s primary home. It is also a club, private beach resort, historical artifact and banquet hall with a ballroom that features gold leaf.
