Donald Trump is embarking on a trip to California next week as part of his re-election campaign efforts – and plans to charge up to $150,000 (£113,556) for the opportunity to meet him.
An invitation to the upcoming event obtained by the local City News Service in Los Angeles, California showed tickets starting at $15,000 (£11,351), which price tag only includes dinner.
For those hoping to get a photograph with Mr Trump, the event will charge $50,000 (£37,845) per ticket.
And anyone who would like the chance to speak with Mr Trump as part of a roundtable discussion at the California event will have to pay $150,000 towards his election campaign fund.
It remains unclear exactly how many tickets are available to participate in the roundtable discussion, or where exactly the event will be held when Mr Trump is due to appear on 5 April.
