WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – A beachfront mansion in Palm Beach set a new sales record in Palm Beach County and Florida.
The sale of the property at 535 N. County Road is also considered one of the most expensive residential deals in the entire country.
WPTV obtained a warranty card from Palm Beach County, indicating that the sale was completed on Wednesday.

Trump sold the property to Russian businessman Dmitry Rybolovlev, which it divided into three lots in 2016.
The newly built nine-bedroom, two-story mansion sits on over 2 acres and includes a separate guest house, oceanfront pool, elevator, gym and wine cellar.
