Trump Inauguration Offers $1M Donor Perks, Including Dinner with Melania

Elite donors to Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration gain exclusive access to events, with a $1 million donation securing a private dinner with the president-elect and the former first lady.

• Donors contributing $1 million or raising $2 million to Trump's inaugural committee are granted access to an 'elegant and intimate' dinner with Donald and Melania Trump on January 19, 2025.
• Additional perks for top-tier donors include six tickets to eight exclusive events, such as the swearing-in ceremony, a reception with Cabinet nominees, and the black-tie 'Starlight Ball.'
• Melania Trump's participation in the inauguration festivities marks a rare public appearance, as reports suggest she plans to split her time between New York City and Palm Beach during Trump's presidency.
• The inaugural committee is co-led by billionaire Steven Witkoff, recently appointed as special envoy to the Middle East, and former GOP senator Kelly Loeffler.
• Trump's first inaugural committee faced legal scrutiny over foreign donations, resulting in a 12-year prison sentence for a donor; the new committee is expected to attract significant financial contributions.
