Former President Donald Trump will charge guests a quarter of a million dollars to attend a forum at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, the proceeds of which will fund his own Super Pac.

A couple who pays $250,000 or an individual who pays $125,000 to attend Trump’s “Take Back Congress Candidate Forum” on Feb. 23 will be guaranteed a private dinner, a picture with the former president, VIP seating and an option to purchase a guest room at the Mar-a-Lago resort.

Price tags for the forum descend to $100,000, $50,000, $25,000 and $5,000, according to a list shared by New York Times reporter and Trump watcher Maggie Haberman.

A couple paying $100,000 or an individual paying $50,000 will get a photo with Trump, VIP seating at dinner and priority seating at the candidate forum.

Couples paying $50,000 or a person paying $25,000 would get a photo with “endorsed candidates,” priority seating at dinner with comments from Trump and reserved seating at the candidate forum.

A couple paying $25,000 or an individual paying $15,000 will also get a photo and dinner with “endorsed candidates,” Trump commentaries and reserved seating at the forum.

Couples paying $5,000 or an individual paying $3,000 will only get dinner with endorsed candidates and comments from the former president.

The Mar-a-Lago event is aimed at promoting Republicans set to run at the midterm elections in November this year. However, the proceeds from the event would go to Trump’s Super Pac. The former president has so far amassed $122 million for his campaign, having raised more than $51 million over the second half of 2021 and $82 million from January to June last year.

Despite having millions in his campaign war chest, Trump’s leadership committee, Save America, has only declared donations of $205,000 to endorsed candidates over the second half of 2021, according to The Guardian.

Another Trump committee, Make America Great Again, Again!, has also reported spending $1.7 million on legal expense in investigations and congressional oversight into the former president and his business dealings.
