Billionaire former hedge fund chief John Paulson to host big-money Hamptons fundraiser for Trump

President Donald Trump is set to attend a big-money fundraiser Saturday at the home of one of his closest Wall Street allies.

Billionaire former hedge fund manager John Paulson will host Trump at his home in swanky Southampton on Long Island, N.Y., according to people with direct knowledge of the matter. Tickets for the dinner event are priced up to $500,000 per couple, an invitation says.

These people declined to be named as Paulson had yet to be publicly identified as one of the hosts.

According to the website Virtual Globetrotting, which tracks where luminaries live, Paulson's property was once known as the "Old Trees." It's described on the website as a "gated estate of 10.4 acres — a private park, really — with a 15,000-square-foot 1911 Georgian mansion, guesthouse, barn, pool, and tennis court overlooking Lake Agawam, in the heart of Southampton Village."

$500,000? Sounds like an event for those who have more dollars than sense.
