Despite their many differences, Donald Trump and Michael Bloomberg do have a few things in common.
Both are billionaires, both may be vying for the same office now that Bloomberg is considering a presidential run, and both men have a penchant for luxury residential properties.
The former New York City mayor and registered Democrat has built a townhome empire on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, while President Trump prefers the vertical life at his Trump Tower penthouse.
Something else they have in common: both have homes in Upstate New York and in Florida.
Ahead of a potential presidential face-off, The Real Deal sizes up some of their personal properties.
