Mar-a-Lago's 2016 income was $37.2 million, up from $29.8 million for 2015. In 2014, before Trump was a presidential candidate, Mar-a-Lago collected $15.6 million income. Just before taking office, the private club doubled its membership fee to $200,000 annually. Trump has stayed at the Florida resort for more than 25 days as president.
