But the former president is looking to rake in up to $33 million when he teams up with some of the wealthiest Republicans in the country at a April 6 fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida. A source familiar with details of the fundraiser confirmed the dollar amount, which was first reported by the Financial Times.
Billionaire investor and hedge fund founder John Paulson is hosting the top-dollar fundraiser, which is the kickoff event for the recently formed Donald J. Trump National Committee.
The event will include major contributors, some of whom stayed on the sidelines or supported the former president's rivals during the recently concluded primary season.
Among those listed as co-chairs of the fundraiser are hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer. They were major boosters of Trump in 2016 but mostly sat out the former president's 2020 re-election campaign.

Also on the list of co-chairs are oil magnate Harold Hamm; hotelier and space entrepreneur Robert Bigelow; casino giant Steve Wynn; and Todd Ricketts, a co-owner of the Chicago Cubs, a member of the TD Ameritrade board of directors and former RNC finance chairman.
The "Inaugural Leadership Dinner" will be held at Paulson's Palm Beach home, which isn't far from Trump's Mar-a-Lago club and resort.

Biden's campaign last week taunted Trump over the latest fundraising figures, which spotlighted the president's formidable fundraising advantage.
"If Donald Trump put up these kinds of numbers on ‘The Apprentice,’ he’d fire himself," Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement.
But next week's Palm Beach gala will give Trump some fundraising news to showcase, after a slew of critical coverage spotlighting his cash hauls and the strain his multiple criminal and civil cases are putting on his campaign.

Save America, the Trump-aligned political action committee that he's been using to pay his legal bills, spent more than it raised last month, with nearly all the expenditures going to cover the former president's legal costs.
But the Trump campaign says fundraising is soaring, with more than $1 million per day hauled in online the past six days and over $10.6 million brought in last week from nearly 300,000 digital donors.
"Donald Trump is a ratings and clicks juggernaut, so we have an ability to make use of earned media in a way that Biden cannot," the campaign highlighted.
