Where Does Michael Bloomberg Live in Florida? The Wellington Connection
September 21, 2026 · 8 min read · By Onias Derilus, Broker
Michael Bloomberg lives in Manhattan. The family's Florida footprint is in Wellington, where his daughter Georgina, a professional show jumper, keeps a farm called Gotham South in the gated Mallet Hill enclave. Here is what reporting says about that property and the market around it.
Where does Michael Bloomberg live? The former New York mayor lives in Manhattan, and there is no reported primary home for him in Florida. What Florida has is a Bloomberg family base in Wellington, the equestrian village in Palm Beach County. His daughter Georgina, a professional show jumper, keeps a farm there called Gotham South. The Real Deal has also described a Bloomberg home and barn in the village. Here is what is on the record, what is not, and what an equestrian estate nearby costs.
Key takeaways
- Wellington, Mallet Hill: Georgina Bloomberg's Gotham South farm sits in this gated equestrian enclave inside Palm Beach Polo.
- Reported price: about $11.95 million when bought around 2019, then listed at $27.95 million in early 2021.
- Reported size: 5.18 acres with a six-bedroom house, a 10-stall barn built in 2019, and a 260-by-140-foot arena.
- Not his primary home: Michael Bloomberg lives in New York; the Wellington farm is a winter competition base.
Where does Michael Bloomberg live in Florida?
Strictly speaking, he does not. Reporting on Michael Bloomberg's Florida ties points to Wellington, and to his daughter rather than to him. The Real Deal wrote in 2017 that he has a home and barn in the village. The mention came in a piece on Wellington's rise as a retreat for the very wealthy. It gave no price, date or community, and no later report we found has filled those in.
The property that is documented belongs to Georgina Bloomberg. Her Wellington farm, Gotham South, sits in Mallet Hill, a gated equestrian section of Palm Beach Polo next to the show grounds. Wikipedia records that she divides her time between Manhattan, North Salem in Westchester County, and Wellington. The Florida stretch is the winter show season, January through April.
So the honest reading is this. The Bloomberg name is attached to Wellington through Georgina's stable, and possibly through a second family property that reporting has mentioned but never detailed. Pure Equity does not publish private addresses, and in this case the public record stops at the community name in Palm Beach County.
Inside the reported Gotham South farm
Stable Insider, an equestrian real estate site, profiled Gotham South in February 2021 when it came to market. The farm covers 5.18 acres in Mallet Hill. It has a six-bedroom main house and a six-car garage. The equestrian side is the point: a 10-stall barn built in 2019, a 260-by-140-foot riding arena, a covered six-horse walker and four paddocks.
The numbers drew attention. Stable Insider reported the listing price as $27.95 million, against a purchase price of about $11.95 million roughly two years earlier. That is a big markup even for Wellington, and the new barn accounts for only part of it. Whether the farm sold at or near that figure was not confirmed in the reports we reviewed. Treat the listing as a snapshot from 2021.
The improvements explain part of the jump. The barn was new in 2019, the arena is competition sized, and the covered walker and paddocks are equipment a professional stable needs on day one. Land in Mallet Hill is scarce too, since the enclave holds only a handful of parcels. Even so, more than doubling in two years is unusual. It says as much about Wellington's market in 2021 as about the farm.
Gotham South pairs with Gotham North, her farm in North Salem, New York. Equestrian Living described Gotham North in 2012 as her permanent home, with an indoor arena, a grand prix field and a stadium jumping ring. The Florida farm is the winter mirror of that setup.
Why the Bloombergs chose Wellington
Georgina Bloomberg started riding at four and turned professional at 21. She won team bronze at the 2015 Pan American Games and won at the Winter Equestrian Festival the same year. She also owns the New York Empire team in the Global Champions League. A rider with that schedule needs a Wellington base, because the festival decides the American season each winter.
Her season there runs on a fixed calendar. The festival opens in early January and runs 13 weeks, and the New York Post reports it draws hundreds of thousands of spectators over that stretch. Riders stable dozens of horses for the duration. A farm with its own barn and arena means the horses train at home and only ship to the ring on show days.
Mallet Hill in particular offers what top riders want. It is gated, it sits inside the Palm Beach Polo grounds, and the international arena is minutes away by horse. Bill Gates assembled his own set of farms on the same street for his daughter Jennifer. The neighborhood is, in effect, a row of family stables for the sport's best-funded riders.
Where else does Michael Bloomberg live?
Manhattan is home, and always has been. He served three terms as mayor from his own townhouse rather than Gracie Mansion. He has other reported homes outside New York, but none is in Florida and none is relevant to the Wellington question. Georgina, for her part, keeps a Manhattan residence too; Robb Report noted in 2024 that she sold a spare apartment there for $4 million.
The family's Florida footprint, then, is one farm in one gated enclave, used for about four months a year. That is a common pattern in Wellington, and it is worth comparing with two neighbors. Our posts on Bill Gates and Bruce Springsteen describe the same arrangement, a famous father buying in Wellington so a daughter can compete.
What homes near Michael Bloomberg cost
The equestrian estates of Mallet Hill and Palm Beach Polo are a market of their own. Our MLS feed as of September 2026 shows about 544 active listings in Wellington. The median asking price is near $925,000, and homes average roughly 117 days on market. Farms with barns and arenas sit far above that median. The $11.95 million to $27.95 million range on Gotham South gives a sense of where a turnkey Mallet Hill farm trades.
Demand has pushed the whole village up. The New York Post reported in May 2026 that Wellington values rose nearly 118 percent in a decade, with one large facility asking $48.5 million. Seasonal rentals of ordinary estates run about $55,000 a month. Buyers can compare current farms on our equestrian homes hub. Southfields, another equestrian community close to the show grounds, and the broader acreage homes page are good next stops.
Mallet Hill farms in particular rarely list, so a buyer often waits a season or two for one to appear. For a farm buyer, that means watching the listings from October on, when owners decide whether to carry a property through another winter. Owners of Wellington farms should know that the best window to sell opens in the fall. Buyers who arrive for January's shows are the ones who close, and a farm with a newer barn, as Gotham South had, commands a premium. The luxury homes hub tracks that top tier across South Florida.
