Your support makes all the difference.A coffee date with Ivanka Trump will set you back a staggering £13,800, at least according to the bidder willing to pay that.
The auction website Charity Buzz is currently offering one lucky bidder the chance to “enjoy coffee with Ivanka Trump in NYC of DC” with proceeds going to her brother Eric Trump’s foundation to benefit St Jude’s Children Research Hospital.
Despite the divison her father and President-elect Donald Trump causes, the highest bid currently stands at $17,500 (£13,800).
Nine people have placed bids so far and there are 12 days until the winner will be declared. On the website, the estimated value of this prize is $50,000.
The description of the prize explains Ms Trump is executive vice president of the Trump Organisation and the president and CEO of the Ivanka Trump brand and co-founder, along with her brothers, of Trump hotels.
That she is also about to become the First Daughter is hinted at under a long list of terms and conditions attached to the prize which gives an indication to her new-found increased higher profile.
Such t&c’s include the winner passing a criminal background check and being approved by the secret service (who will also be present throughout the entire meeting) and approval by the Trump Organisation.
