Donald Trump Jr. has launched an exclusive club that charges members more than half a million dollars to hobnob with his father’s administration.
The 47-year-old eldest child of the president worked with conservative financier Omeed Malik and partners at his 1789 Capital to create Executive Branch – an upcoming nightclub in the heart of Washington DC’s Georgetown neighborhood, Politico reports.
They had sought to create the ‘highest-end private club’ in the area and are catering to the elite.
The hefty cost is meant to deter wannabes and members of the press as the club caters to the business and technology moguls who are looking to improve their relationship with the president.
Trump Jr., Malik and South African entrepreneur David Sacks made the official announcement on Saturday night at an invite-only party.
It coincided with the annual White House Correspondent’s Dinner, which nobody in the Trump administration attended.
Instead, Politico reports, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was set to attend the Executive Branch launch party.

But even before the official announcement Saturday night, the club already had a wait list of people trying to get in.
By Sunday evening, the club’s official website even said ‘the waiting list for new members is now closed and is subject to annual review’ noting that membership ‘is invitation-only.’
Among those who were lucky enough to be named founding members are Sacks, the controversial Winklevoss twins who famously sued Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg over the social media site’s founding and venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya.
The owners, meanwhile, are listed as Malik; his business partner, Chris Buskirk; Trump Jr and Zach and Alex Witkoff – the sons of Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff.
