I must have gotten wrong information...

Apparently the diameter of the leaves are around 12 ft wide. But the trunk is much, much smaller in diameter (6 inches). Is this true?

I'd say a 12 ft. leaf span with a trunk about 6-10" in diameter. Here's a photo of my 3 year old youngster taken in Sept. 2009. She's grown a bit more during the last 3 months but this is the most recent photo I have available this evening. She would probably be much taller, but last year she had to recover first from a transplant followed by a 6 week drought and then a 3 day tropical storm. She lost most of her fronds and looked sickly for several months but she's better now.
