Ivanka
Trump and Jared Kushner Are Reportedly Already Unwelcome at Their Billionaire’s
Bunker Country Club
A source says the outgoing presidential advisers “need not
apply,” suggesting that they “lunch with their fellow patriots” at Mar-a-Lago.
JANUARY 13, 2021
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have
only been landowners in Miami’s exclusive
“Billionaire’s Bunker” enclave since December, but it seems the
couple is already having some issues with their new neighbors.
While the outgoing
presidential advisers became the proud owners of one of only 29 residences
located on Indian Creek Island, as Page Six reported at the
time, just having a home there doesn’t automatically guarantee that über-rich
residents will be admitted to the compound’s even more exclusive country club.
A source explained to the
outlet on Wednesday, “You have to be nominated and make a formal application.
But it only takes one member to object against any new member, and many members
are objecting, particularly after the events at the Capitol on January 6.”
They added, “The Indian Creek Country Club members are very picky and the word
is that Javanka need not apply,” going on the suggest that “Jared and Ivanka
can lunch with their fellow ‘patriots’ at Mar-a-Lago.”
The 300-member Indian
Creek Country Club, established around 1930, boasts an 18-hole golf course and
restaurant, with initiation fees upwards of $150,000, per Page Six. It’s also
been embroiled in controversies of its own due to its former practice of
only allowing a handful of Jewish people and people of color as members.
But just because Jared
and Ivanka’s country-club future isn’t looking bright doesn’t mean their social
calendar won’t be full. A second source told the outlet that the couple has
already been made to feel very welcome among the Billionaire’s Bunker set, who,
Page Six notes, are largely Republican, and the two have already received a number
of invitations to dinner. Thankfully, Jared’s brother Josh and
his supermodel wife, Karlie Kloss, also just reportedly purchased a $23.5 million mansion nearby,
and both homes are conveniently located roughly 60 miles from Mar-a-Lago
where Donald and Melania Trump are likely to
spend most of their post-presidential life, even though they may not be legally permitted to
live there.
And if all else fails,
Ivanka still seems to have her dreams of becoming president one day,
anyway.
