Scoop: Mar-a-Lago raising entry fee to $1 million

Raw Story  

Former President Donald Trump's Florida club, Mar-a-Lago, will increase its initiation fee to $1 million, according to a little-noticed mention in a Bloomberg Businessweek article published this week. "Even back at Mar-a-Lago, a few days before Biden’s debate stumble, Trump seemed to be riding this heightened sense of good fortune," the magazine's reporters wrote. "When the resort’s longtime managing director dropped by during the conversation, Trump noted with pride that the club would increase its initiation fee from $700,000 to $1 million in October, with four new slots open—a sign, presumably, of the increased value of proximity to potentially the next commander-in-chief." "The Mar-a-Lago sitting room features a soaring red balloon tower dotted with giant gold ones reading “47,” shorthand for the next president—a gift from a local admirer who affixed a card gushing over 'the best commander in chief America has ever known,'' Bloomberg's reporters note.
