Business Leaders Paying Millions for Exclusive Access to Trump at Mar-a-Lago
Wealthy donors are shelling out millions to wine and dine with President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, Wired reported Tuesday.
Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with the President Trump at his Florida compound

Trump’s team has seized on the demand from business moguls eager to court the president, offering one-on-one meetings for $5 million, sources told Wired. The opportunity to gain favor with Trump has quickly become one of the hottest tickets in the business world.
For those seeking a more refined setting, a candlelit group dinner with the president is available for $1 million per person. Invitations to a March 1 candlelight dinner were sent out by MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC that poured over $400 million into his election efforts last year.
“You are invited to a candlelight dinner featuring special guest President Donald J. Trump. Additional details provided upon RSVP,” the invitation reads. “RSVPs will be accommodated on a first come, first serve basis. Space is very limited. $1,000,000 per person.”
The invitation also included a disclaimer, stating: “Donald J. Trump is appearing at this event only as a featured speaker and is not asking for funds or donations.”
Blurring the Lines Between Presidency and Private Business
The event was formally named the “MAGA INC. Candlelight Finance Dinner” and was listed on Trump’s official schedule—further blurring the lines between his presidency and the private business world.
The Washington Post previously reported that Trump hosted two similar high-priced dinners at Mar-a-Lago before taking office—one on December 19, 2024, and another on January 19, the eve of his inauguration.
