Donald Trump Jr. buys mansion 20 miles from Mar-a-Lago

JUPITER, Fla. — Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle are now Florida home owners.

The Palm Beach Post reports that the couple spent $9.7 million this week to buy a 11,000-square-foot (1,000-square-meter), six-bedroom, 11-bath mansion in the town of Jupiter, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from the Mar-a-Lago compound where former President Donald Trump and former first lady Melania Trump are living.

The home is in the exclusive and gated Admirals Cove community and on the Intercoastal Waterway. Baseball Hall of Fame member Mike Schmidt and Washington Nationals star pitcher Max Scherzer also live in the 888-home community and singer Celine Dion is a former resident.

On top of the home price, new residents must pay a $195,000 membership fee. The community features a marina that can accommodate large yachts, 45 holes of golf and tennis courts.

Trump Jr., 43, is the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, the family’s business group. Guilfoyle, 52, is a former Fox News personality and the ex-wife of Gavin Newsom, California’s Democratic governor. Both are active in Republican politics.

The couple has been dating for about three years.

Texas hiring Chris Beard of Texas Tech as next men’s basketball coach

It once seemed unthinkable, but the Longhorns have done it. Texas has lured Chris Beard away from Texas Tech.

A person with knowledge of the situation told the Austin American-Statesman that a deal has been reached with Beard to become the next men's college basketball coach of the Longhorns. A Texas Tech school official also confirmed the news to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. 

It’s a coup for Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte, who needed a splashy hire to stave off growing fan apathy and disappointment about the Horns’ inconsistency.

Everything about Beard is full throttle, from his wild-eyed defensive intensity to his love of country music and Whataburger. Part of the reason for Tech's success was his direct appeals to Tech students on social media videos dubbed “Fireside Chat with Chris Beard.” His popularity practically made Beard the unofficial mayor of Lubbock.
