Meet the Palm Beach billionaire who paid $2 million for a private White House visit with Trump

At a charity gala in Palm Beach last month, billionaire investor Herbert Wertheim paid $2 million for one of the most exclusive and controversial invitations in America: a private visit to the White House with President Donald Trump.

The winning bid came during a charity event at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, supporting educational scholarships for children of Palm Beach police officers and firefighters. The event raised a record $7.5 million for first responders’ scholarships and local services, organizers said.
