South Florida is sizzling as the new epicenter for politics, business, and celebrity life following President-elect Donald Trump’s historic win, insiders say to the New York Post.
“South Florida used to be a place for retirees or a second home,” a business insider shared, “but it’s now a serious place for business and power.” Once lacking industry after the 2008 crash, Miami now boasts banks and job growth rivaling major metro areas.
Trump’s victory in Miami-Dade County—first for a GOP candidate in over 30 years—cements its star-studded status. The city is home to high-profile names like Tom Brady, David Beckham, and tech tycoons Jeff Bezos and Michael Dell, who all applauded Trump’s comeback. “Congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President,” Bezos posted online, marking his shift to the political scene in South Florida.
Titans of industry, from Jeff Bezos to Ken Griffin, have settled in Miami, drawn by Florida’s business-friendly policies and no state income tax. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago is once again set to serve as the Winter White House, where big names continue to converge, from socialites to CEOs.
In addition to celebrities, Miami’s cultural scene is flourishing, with events like Art Basel drawing stars like Leonardo DiCaprio. Miami also attracts tech giants and wealthy families, who favor its tax benefits, warm climate, and business-forward environment. The insider added, “People come here for the lifestyle. It’s a pro-business, vibrant community that keeps growing.”
Property values across Palm Beach County have soared, with high-end real estate attracting billionaire investors like Ken Griffin, who moved Citadel’s headquarters from Chicago to Miami. “What Griffin has done for Miami is unbelievable,” the source said, noting his $50 million donation to local hospitals.
