- The 20-acre gated community is filled with amenities, including a clubhouse, a playground, and a massive outdoor pool.

On a sunny November afternoon in Montauk, New York, Business Insider toured a luxury trailer park that's home to the mega-rich.
At the end of a secluded paved road, Montauk Shores Condominium is a 20-acre trailer park with security features, outdoor amenities, and "million-dollar" ocean views.
Though the park started as an oasis of sorts for blue-collar workers, today it's not uncommon to see hedge-fund managers, CEOs, and investment bankers alike buying and selling trailers worth over $1 million.
In fact, as Jennifer Gould Keil reported for the New York Post in 2017, big players who have called the park home include the Vitamin Water cofounder Darius Bikoff, the hedge-fund manager Dan Loeb, and the film producer Karen Lauder.

Peter Moore, a real-estate agent with the Corcoran Group who has been selling units in the park for about 15 years, told Business Insider in July that interest in the park has sustained through the pandemic.
"Life at Montauk Shores really hasn't changed significantly," Moore said. "If anything, I would say it is more active than usual. It appears that many owners have actually used the park as their 'safe haven'."
Moore added that the pandemic has only driven interest in escaping the city for some of the country's most beautiful beaches.
That said, here's a walkthrough of the wealthiest trailer park we've ever heard of.
