People seemingly have to be invited to the exclusive meet-and-greet dinners with Trump
If you want to have a candlelit dinner with Donald Trump, it’s going to cost you.
Trump’s Pricey Pay-to-Meet Scheme: $5 Million for a Sit-Down with the President
While Donald Trump now holds the title of President of the United States, his business instincts appear to remain as sharp as ever—especially when it comes to access. Reports suggest that those eager to meet the 47th POTUS will need to fork over a staggering sum for the privilege.
If you’ve been following recent headlines, you’re likely aware of Trump’s high-profile meetings with world leaders at the White House. The most talked-about of these was his fiery encounter with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where Trump accused him of “gambling with World War III.” Vice President JD Vance further stoked tensions by slamming Zelenskyy for what he saw as a lack of gratitude toward the US for its military aid.
For those who didn’t make the cut for an official invite—whether global leaders or top tech moguls—Trump is now reportedly offering exclusive one-on-one meetings at Mar-a-Lago for a jaw-dropping $5 million, according to Wired. A source close to Trump’s circle described the opportunity as a chance for “everyone who missed the boat”—a statement seemingly aimed at the likes of Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, who could comfortably afford the hefty price tag.
But the pay-to-play experience doesn’t end there. For a more intimate encounter, Mar-a-Lago guests can also opt for a candlelit dinner with the president—if they’re willing to shell out $1 million for the honor.
Trump’s presidency may be in full swing, but for those looking to rub elbows with the commander-in-chief, it appears access still comes at a premium.
Inside Trump’s Exclusive $1M Candlelight Dinners: Limited Seats, High Price Tag
For those eager to dine with President Donald J. Trump, it’s going to cost—a lot. An exclusive invitation circulating among elite circles is offering a rare chance to attend a candlelit dinner featuring Trump as the “special guest”—for a staggering $1 million per seat.
“You are invited to a candlelight dinner featuring special guest President Donald J. Trump,” reads the high-profile invitation. It emphasizes that space is “very limited” and RSVPs will be accommodated on a “first-come, first-serve basis.” Additional details, however, are only disclosed after securing a reservation.
These million-dollar dinners are reportedly already underway, with the first of their kind taking place on Saturday, March 1. At the event, Trump was listed as a “featured speaker”—though the invite was careful to clarify that he was “not asking for funds or donations.”
Attendees were directed to RSVP through Meredith O’Rourke, a key figure in Trump’s fundraising operations. According to her LinkedIn profile, O’Rourke serves as National Finance Director and Senior Advisor for Donald J. Trump For President 2024, Inc.
With a seven-figure price tag and extremely limited availability, these dinners cement Trump’s ongoing ability to merge political influence with his signature business approach—exclusivity, spectacle, and a steep entry fee.
