Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump took a night off in Palm Beach last week to attend the 70th birthday party of billionaire Steve Schwarzman, CEO of Blackstone Group. Schwarzman heads up President Trump’s Strategic and Policy Forum.
Speculation on the cost of the party go as high as $20 million with a performance by Gwen Stefani, trapeze artists and live camels adding to the ambiance.
Incoming cabinet members Steve Mnuchin and Elaine Chao also attended the lavish affair, as did a host of celebrities and political figures. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were staying at their home in Mar-a-Lago a short drive away but did not attend the event.
