It has a great room with lake views, glass doors along the back wall, and an open kitchen.
Massive wood beams, a stone fireplace, a firewood wall, and an antler chandelier are among the other design elements. The lake house was listed for $1.85 million in 2016 and sold to the Rancics for an undisclosed sum that year. This has been done before by home flippers. They listed their renovated Victorian row house in Chicago for $6.8 million in 2018. It was sold for $5 million the following year.
Bill Rancic Apprentice – Trump
Rancic was one of 16 contestants in the first season of The Apprentice, which aired in the spring of 2004. Rancic was hired after a 14-week job interview after Donald Trump chose him over finalist Kwame Jackson.
Trump assigned Rancic the task of managing a celebrity golf outing at Trump National Golf Club Westchester in Briarcliff Manor, New York, for the final challenge against competitor Kwame Jackson, while Jackson was tasked with managing a Jessica Simpson concert. At the final board meeting, Jackson stated that running a golf outing was the easier of the two tasks, prompting a rebuttal from Trump VP Carolyn Kepcher, who was managing a golf course when Trump hired her. Rancic was hired by Trump.
Rancic was chosen to oversee the construction of the Trump Tower Chicago in his hometown of Chicago, which will replace the demolished Chicago Sun-Times building. His other option was to supervise and manage the development of a new Trump National Golf Course and resort in Los Angeles.
Originally, Rancic stated that when his one-year contract as Trump’s Apprentice expired, he would leave and start his own business. He instead chose to stay with the Trump Organization, filling in as a judge when regular judge George H. Ross was away on business.
