Jackie Siegel’s mega mansion is almost there!
On Sunday, Jan. 26, The Queen of Versailles star, 59, shared an Instagram video updating her followers on the construction of her and husband David Siegel’s 90,000 square-foot Florida home, which has been over 20 years in the making.
“Well, I’m over at Versailles and we’re getting closer,” Jackie said as she filmed the home’s huge interior and grand staircases. “We’re getting closer to getting done.”
“There’s still a little bit of work,” she added, before entering an elevator.
While the area of the property — which is named after the Palace of Versailles in Paris, France — that was featured in the video had no furniture and some floor boards missing, the room’s intricate gold and cream ceiling and breathtaking chandelier could be seen in the background.
“You guys! 💋I know many of you have been curious about Versailles, so here’s a little peek! 🏰We’re getting closer… ❤️👸💋,” she added in her caption.
The update comes after the home was damaged in 2022 by flooding caused by Hurricane Ian.
“It makes me so sad,” Jackie told PEOPLE during the flooding, “Me and the boys worked so hard to get to where we were. I am very shaken up.”
In photos obtained by PEOPLE, Jackie showed the debris left from the flooding, as well as the hurricane seeming to have caused the ceilings of the home to bubble and break.
