President Donald Trump has a few adjectives that he likes to use over and over again, among them tremendous, failing, terrible, and great. But one descriptor is his clear favorite, and that is "big." (Or "bigly.") There are big crowds, big news, big wins, big tax reform, and so much more. He was famously caught lying about the not-so-big attendance at his inauguration in January, and now Forbes has dug up another whopper: Trump's penthouse isn't so big, either.

In an interview with Forbes during the campaign, Trump said his penthouse apartment in Trump Tower was 33,000 square feet, and worth at least $200 million. The magazine looked up the New York City records and learned that Trump acquired a 6,096 square-foot apartment in 1983, and then expanded into two neighboring apartments in 1993, for a total of 10,996 square feet. That's a massive home, sure — but it's only a third of the size Trump boasted about. (Forbes notes that, to get to the 33,000 footage Trump boasted about, "'common elements' — things like hallways and elevators — and mechanical space" seem to have been factored in.)

As for the list price, "No Trump spokesperson would comment on any of this, so using the correct square footage, we estimate the president's pad is worth $64 million, less than a third of his number," Forbes adds. Again, not pocket change, but yet another huge discrepancy from Trump.

Trump has opened his home up to reporters and photographers in the past (as well as, more recently, other world leaders), making it an easy target for tracking down the facts — as well as, you know, just gawking over the extravagantly gilded, rococo space.
