This seems a simple enough thing to resolve, in most states property ownership is a matter of public record, a journalist who isn’t lazy would just go to the Town Hall and look it up. But this is in Newsweek …
It tells us who it thinks bought it, and the date it was sold, based on the output of a handful of websites (i.e. the output of a Google Search). It doesn’t cite anyone authoritarive.
It does quote several Trump family members denying it entirely, but all that does is make it even more likely it’s true.
*NOTE: Sales do not generally appear in the PAPA database until approximately 1 to 3 weeks after the closing date. If a recent sale does not show up in this list, please allow more time for the sale record to be processed
Even better, Zillow, where this “journalist” got their info, gets that sales data from those public records. Lazy reporting like this just spreads misinformation. I would be ashamed to put my name on the byline of this shit.

I would be surprised if the ownership of Mar-a-lago isn’t buried under at least six levels of shell companies.
You guys don’t need to guess about anything. You can simply read the article you know. It tells us who bought it and the date it was ‘sold’ to them.

You have some high expectations for your fellow humans.

Large real estate sales can take months to close. If the deal was signed on Aug. 4 then it probably hasn’t finalized yet.
The local news did and there was nothing there.
I believe I read another article about it stating he sold it to DT Jr.
The article tells you exactly who bought it.

What’s lazy about the article? Did you even bother to read it?
