Trump Will Meet With Powerful Business Lobbying Group With These Billionaire Members

Trump will participate in a moderated discussion on June 13 at the group’s meeting in Washington, where he will discuss “how he will restore prosperity to the American economy,” his campaign said in a statement.

The group counts billionaire CEOs Stephen Schwarzman of Blackstone (worth $37.9 billion according to Forbes’ estimates), Advanced Micro Devices’ Lisa Su ($1.1 billion), Comcast’s Brian Roberts ($1.9 billion), JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon ($2.2 billion) and Apple’s Tim Cook ($2.1 billion) as members, though it’s unclear who will attend the meeting.

The world’s 15th richest person—Dell founder Michael Dell, worth $101 billion—is also a member according to the group’s website, as is Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch, whose father Rupert Murdoch and family are valued at $19.8 billion.

President Joe Biden, who addressed the group’s quarterly meeting in 2022, was also invited, but will be overseas for the G7 meeting, CNBC reported, citing an anonymous source who said White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients will address the group in Biden’s place.

The meeting comes as Trump has aggressively courted business executives in recent months, including at an April meeting with oil industry stakeholders where he promised rollbacks of environmental regulations while suggesting they should donate $1 billion to support his candidacy, multiple outlets reported, and a May meeting with donors in New York where he floated tax breaks while making an appeal for their support, the Washington Post reported.
