Donald Trump’s campaign held an exclusive, record-breaking fundraiser Saturday evening in Palm Beach, Florida, hauling in an eye-popping $50.5 million at a single event.
Adding to the allure of the evening was the presence of the ever-elegant former first lady Melania Trump, who graced the affluent event with her second recent appearance. Her support for her husband’s campaign was evident when she accompanied him to a polling location in Palm Beach last month on Florida’s primary election day.
The Trump fundraiser, a high-profile affair, was hosted by billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson and drew over 100 distinguished guests, as reported by ABC News. Trump delivered a 45-minute speech before the dinner commenced, adding to the grandeur of the event — there was a suggested $814,600 per person or $250,000 per person entry fee, according to WPTV.
A former model, Melania can be bold in her style, and Saturday night was no exception. The beautiful former first lady rocked a colorful ensemble that was sure to stand out in a crowd:

The Trumps posed for photos with Paulson and his fiance, Alina de Almeida, ahead of the event, and the former president briefly spoke with reporters.
“This has been some incredible evening before it even starts because people, they want to contribute to a cause of making America great again,” Trump said.

Trump campaign advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles commented on the event in a statement: “After locking up the nomination in one of the fastest primaries in modern political history, Donald J. Trump is winning poll after poll and proving that the enthusiasm is on his side. It’s clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation, and the money to propel President Trump to victory on November 5.”
Interestingly, the very same night Biden supporters were sharing images of a very young Jill Biden while claiming she was “10X more beautiful than Melania.”

Biden supporters may want to be careful because photos of a young Jill bring to mind the controversy stirred by her ex-husband over her and Joe getting together.
The Bidens tell a cute tale about how they fell in love after meeting on a blind date in 1975, once Jill’s marriage had crashed. But her ex-husband, Bill Stevenson, told the Daily Mail that story is not true. According to Stevenson, an affair broke up their marriage and claimed that Jill first met Joe Biden in 1972, when Joe’s wife was still alive.
