UK Club Owner Eyes Rival to Trump's Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach
London private members' club owner Robin Birley eyes property in Palm Beach, Florida to establish new club catering to wealthy Britons flocking to the area.
Robin Birley, a prominent London private members' club owner, is in advanced negotiations to secure a property in Palm Beach, Florida, with the aim of creating a new club that would rival Donald Trump's iconic Mar-a-Lago resort. The move comes as a growing number of affluent British individuals and families are flocking to the Florida region, attracted by its favorable tax climate and proximity to Trump's exclusive club.
Birley, who owns the exclusive Mayfair club 5 Hertford Street, is said to be close to finalizing a deal that would be partially financed by the billionaire Reuben brothers, who were recently named the third-richest family in the UK by the Sunday Times Rich List. The new club in Palm Beach would be designed to cater to this influx of wealthy British expatriates and visitors, offering them a familiar and exclusive social hub in the heart of Florida's Sunshine State.
