Billionaire John Paulson to host Trump fundraiser for the mega-wealthy: Former DeSantis donor Robert Bigelow and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson to raise funds for Donald as he tries to catch Biden and pay the $454 million fraud fine

Donald Trump's supporters in the billionaire enclave of Palm Beach are mounting one last big fundraising push before they depart for cooler summer climes with a huge donor event hosted by mega-investor John Paulson.

Tickets for the event, a who's who of Palm Beach MAGA world, top out at $814,600 for a seat at the former president's table, according to an invitation obtained by DailyMail.com. Other places are a mere quarter of a million dollars.

Trump clinched enough primary wins to become the presumptive Republican nominee last week and with his focus now on the general election he is intent on catching up with President Joe Biden fundraising pull.

The April 6 event at hedge fund founder Paulson's $110 million home will be one of the final events as the Palm Beach 'season' draws to a close.

And it shows how the Republican elite is closing ranks around Trump. 

Donald Trump will leave Palm Beach in the next couple of weeks as the 'season' comes to a close and residents head for cooler summer climes. That means a busy spate of fundraisers among the billionaires who winter on the Florida coast

Co-chairs of the 'Inaugural Leadership Dinner', according to the invitation first reported by the New York Post, include hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah, who told friends two years ago they had no plans to help Trump's 2024 campaign.

Hotelier and space entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, who last year gave $20 million to a group backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, is another co-chair.

Other guests include more reliable Trump donors such as New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, the former president's ambassador to London, Wilbur Ross, Trump's commerce secretary, and Linda McMahon, the WWE cofounder who was small business administrator.

Former rivals for the nomination Sen. Tim Scott, Gov. Doug Burgum and Vivek Ramaswami are listed as special guests. 

'I am pleased to support President Trump in his re-election efforts,' said Paulson. 

'His policies on the economy, energy, immigration and foreign policy will be very beneficial for the country.'

Paulson is reportedly in the running to become Treasury secretary in a second Trump administration. 

'And John Paulson, the great John Paulson made plenty of money in Nevada,' he said in January after his New Hampshire primary win, picking the billionaire out of the crowd. 'Doesn’t live there, but he makes a hell of a lot of money. He makes money everywhere he goes, actually. 

'So, money machine. Maybe we’ll put, you know what, put him at Treasury. You want to make a little money?'

The fundraiser comes as Trump looks to kick on towards the election.

Biden's campaign announced last month that it raised $53 million in February and has $155 million cash available, the biggest war chest any candidate has ever had at this point in election year. 

At the same time, Trump is facing a squeeze in his own finances.

This week his lawyers were forced to admit they had failed to secure a near half billion dollar bond in a New York civil case. That raises the prospect that the the state could try to seize some of his properties.
