It could cost $70,000 — or $6 million — to have lunch with Donald Trump

Attendance at Donald Trump's upcoming crypto luncheon on April 25 at Mar-a-Lago is capped at 297 people and is determined by holdings of the TRUMP memecoin, ranked via "Trump Points" reflecting token exposure over time. The cost to qualify varies significantly: the lowest entry threshold is estimated around $70,000 based on current token prices, while the top spot required an influx of over $6 million worth of tokens recently. This ranking system rewards both early accumulation and holding, as well as rapid, large-scale buying by latecomers. This event follows a similar dinner in 2025 that drew criticism regarding Trump profiting from his token while influencing crypto legislation. Unlike the previous event, the current leaderboard appears to favor individual investors, as large wallets tied to exchanges or the project team do not seem to be competing for the limited individual invites.
