Attendees are paying $6,600 to land a seat at the fundraiser. Photos with Trump run $25,000 a couple, and those dishing out $250,000 to land on the host committee will obtain more access to the former president.
Popular Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and other mainstream conservative leaders in the state, who have clashed with Trump in the past and offered lukewarm endorsements after the former president clinched the 2024 GOP nomination, are not attending the fundraiser.
Trump's next stop is Orlando, where attorney Dan Newlin is hosting a fundraiser at his home for the former president.
FIRST ON FOX: CRUZ HAULS IN NEARLY $10 MILLION PAST THREE MONTHS IN BRUISING RE-ELECTION BID
Trump raked in over $50 million on Saturday at a fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida, at the home of billionaire investor and hedge fund founder John Paulson, which was the kickoff event for the recently formed Donald J. Trump National Committee, a joint effort between the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee.
The haul was the most money ever brought in at a single fundraising event, and shattered a record set just a week and a half earlier, when Biden raised over $25 million as he was joined by former Presidents Obama and Clinton at a star-studded gala at New York City's famed Radio City Music Hall.

However, the joint fundraising committee set up last month by the Trump campaign and the RNC now allows them to similarly coordinate among themselves and with state GOP chapters from coast to coast.
The committee was formed after the former president and his campaign team, after clinching the GOP nomination, took control of the RNC and installed allies – including Whatley and Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump – in the national party committee's top leadership positions. Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita is simultaneously serving as the RNC chief of staff.
Trump and the RNC highlighted two weeks ago that they brought in $65.6 million in March and ended the month with $93.1 million in cash on hand. The figures include money raised by a number of fundraising committees.
However, hours before Trump's Palm Beach fundraising gala, the Biden campaign announced that they hauled in over $187 million during the first three months of this year, including more than $90 million in March. They also touted that they have a massive $192 million cash on hand.
