Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump won a luxurious vacation to Paris at a 2008 charity auction with a $120,000 bid using money from the foundation bearing his name — but the funds likely included little of his own money, according to BuzzFeed News.
Mr. Trump had donated only $30,000 in 2008 to his Donald J. Trump Foundation, which paid for his bid on the trip at a Gucci Foundation charity gala that year. The gala was a star-studded event held on the United Nations’ north lawn in New York, and Mr. Trump’s gift, which the Gucci Foundation would use to support other charities, made international headlines. The previous year, Mr. Trump’s foundation had spent almost all of its money, BuzzFeed reports.
