Would you clarify the 25% offer. Was that offer made by Trump? I would appreciate a published source on that. Thanks.
The original 1 million was offered by Bob Guccione in the 70’s. Later Trump bought the land around her during or around 1993.
He made offers. I haven’t seen official numbers, but one of his sons claimed he offered 1.9 million. He later claimed he would have gone “up to” 5 million, but there is no evidence he offered that amount.
Evidently he saw a better way to make the deal by going through the Atlantic City Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. They offered 251K for the property (clearly not a market assessed amount) in order to acquire the property for Trump.
Articles are around with the number:

the firm that represented her has a long article somewhere that I think I posted earlier.
The 25% is my calculation based on the eminent domain assessment being 25% of the earlier, documented offer amount.
