Five million dollars – so much pays business leaders for a dinner with Trump.
The Wired magazine has taken part in an invitation to Mar-A-Lago where guests get the chance to meet the president.
– It is for everyone who missed the boat, says a source with insight into the dinners.
A dinner in a group with the president is reported to cost a million dollars. Do you want to meet Donald Trump on your own it costs five millionit states the magazine Wired who has taken part in an invitation to one of the dinners held earlier in March.
“You are invited to a dinner with candles and the special guest President Donald J. Trump,” the invitation states.
Was included in the president’s schedule
In the invitation, which is signed the campaign organization Make America Great Again Inc, it says that a place costs one million dollars per person and that more information will be served after responding to the invitation.
The invited guests were asked to contact Meredith O’Rourke if you were interested in participating. She was a financial manager and adviser to Donald Trump during the presidential campaign in 2024.
The specific dinner in the invitation took place on March 1 and was included in the president’s official schedule. In the calendar it was listed as “Maga inc. Collection dinner with candles”. Similar events must have been held in December and January.
Neither the campaign manager nor the White House have wanted to comment on the exclusive dinner invitations.
“For anyone who missed the boat”
According to the invitation, Trump should only be on site as a speaker – he does not ask for any money or donations. A source states that the events are a ticket for business leaders who want to set up with Trump.
– It is for everyone who missed the boat, says a source with insight into the dinners.
The source believes that many in the tech sector want to end up with a good foot on Trump, like many other tech giants did before the election. Participating in one of the dinners can be a way in.
Arranging collection campaigns as president is nothing unique. But Don Moynihan, political scientist at the University of Michigan, believes that these events stand out.
“I can’t remember that a sitting president during the first few weeks of his administration asked for millions of dollars in fundraisers,” says Moynihan.
