David Sacks, prominent AI and crypto advocate, is reportedly among the founding members of Donald Trump Jr.’s newest venture a high-end, invite-only private club called The Executive Branch, located in Washington, D.C. The news comes via a recent Politico report, highlighting an elite roster of early members drawn from business, venture capital, and crypto circles.
An Exclusive Gathering of Influencers
The Executive Branch is being established by Donald Trump Jr. in collaboration with his business partners at 1789 Capital, including megadonor Omeed Malik and investor Chris Buskirk. Other owners include Alex and Zach Witkoff, sons of real estate magnate and Trump administration envoy Steve Witkoff.
Joining David Sacks among the founding members are:
- Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya
- Gemini crypto exchange founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss
The club’s exclusivity comes with a hefty $500,000 membership fee, positioning it as one of the most expensive private clubs in the United States second only to Mar-A-Lago, the Trump family’s flagship club, which recently raised its own membership fee to $1 million.
Club Details and Launch Plans
The Executive Branch will be housed in a Georgetown building in Washington, D.C., set to open next month.
A launch party to celebrate the club’s unveiling is scheduled for Saturday, May 3, 2025.
Sources close to the project stated that the aim is to create “the highest-end invite-only club in Washington,” offering a safe space for private conversations, particularly for individuals connected to the Trump administration and conservative political circles.
Despite its steep entry cost, the club already boasts a waitlist of interested applicants. Prospective members must not only afford the high membership fee but also obtain a trusted referral and personal approval from the club’s owners to join.

As the lines between technology, finance, and politics continue to blur, The Executive Branch appears poised to become a new nexus of influence attracting venture capitalists, crypto entrepreneurs, political figures, and elite investors under one roof.
Whether it will rival Mar-A-Lago’s stature remains to be seen, but with figures like David Sacks, the Winklevoss twins, and Chamath Palihapitiya on its roster, the Executive Branch is already commanding attention on the national stage.
