Ivanka Trump is offering deep-pocketed bidders a chance to chat with her over coffee for a cool $50,000.
In a listing posted last week on auction site Charitybuzz, the daughter of the President-elect and Trump Organization executive vice president volunteered 30-45 minutes of her time for a private meet and greet. The two winners, who must pass criminal background checks and be approved by the Secret Service, will have the opportunity to meet with Ivanka Trump sometime in 2017.
Though the listing makes reference only to her business experience and family with husband Jared Kushner, it speaks to the blurred line between her political and business roles. Winners will meet with Trump either at Trump Tower in NYC or Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., depending on her schedule. The listing says Secret Service agents will sit in on the coffee date to ensure her safety.
Already, 14 bidders have ponied up huge sums in the hopes of meeting the real estate heir and beauty mogul. While the coffee date is valued at $50,000, the highest bid as of Monday afternoon was $23,000.
