Elon Musk is set to be become Palm Beach's newest resident after the tech billionaire allegedly offered $100m to buy beauty mogul's penthouse. The Tesla CEO has been spending an increasing amount of time at Donald Trump 's Mar-a-Lago estate since the President-elect's victory with Musk even joining the Trump family there for Thanksgiving.

Now, Page Six is reporting that Musk is eyeing up a penthouse in The Bristol on the shores of West Palm Beach - just a short seven minute drive from Mar-a-Lago. The luxurious 19,000sq apartment was owned by the late Sydell Miller who was a self-made beauty tycoon behind brands such as Ardell and Matrix Essentials.

The luxurious 19,000sq apartment was owned by the late Sydell Miller who was a self-made beauty tycoon behind brands such as Ardell and Matrix Essentials.

Miller (pictured) bought the penthouse, comprised of two apartments, for a record-breaking $42.56million in 2019. But the lavish home could be about to break another retail record after Musk - who is the world's richest man - allegedly offered to buy the property for an eye-watering $100million.

Palmer Palm Beach, a local media outlet in the area, reported rumours that Miller's family are 'mulling an offer from Elon Musk to sell the late beauty mogul's majestic 19,000sq penthouse.' It added that if the offer is accepted it will 'break every West Palm Beach real estate record.' However, despite the rumored offer, Musk's main base of operations in the USA appears to still be Texas. In July Musk announced that he would be moving the headquarters of SpaceX and X, formerly Twitter, to the Lone Star State.

X will be moved from San Francisco to Austin and SpaceX will be based at the company's rocket launch site in Texas rather than Hawthorne. This comes after Musk already moved the headquarters of Tesla to Austin from Palo Alto in 2021. Miller died in February this year and as well as her home in the Bristol she also left behind another house in Palm Beach.

The lavish estate - known as La Reverie - sold for $111million and had been compared in the past to 'a railroad station or state library' and even had an ice cream stand and a bowling alley. Miller leaves behind a large art collection in the penthouse which includes works by Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. The eclectic collection of art has already been sold at auction.

With its on-site gym and spa, the Bristol is a favourite among the rich and famous of south Florida. It has previously been referred to as the ultimate luxury destination in the area. Since Trump's victory in November's election, Musk has been spotted numerous times with the President-elect at his Mar-a-Lago home.

Trump has appointed Musk to new position as co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Throughout the campaign, Musk spent nearly a quarter of a billion dollars to help elect Trump. About $40.5 million of Musk's money was spent on the infamous sweepstakes that awarded a $1 million a day to someone who signed a petition to support the Constitution. At one point, as the race neared its end, Musk was cutting a check to his own America PAC to the tune of $25 million a week.
