Despite his prior pledge to self-fund his campaign, the billionaire businessman now appears to be embracing big donors.

Trump just said today that he had a meet and greet but he's not taking any money. He said he likes getting $9 from individuals.

Trump said there are 3-5 PACS starting but he doesn't know who the people are and he has nothing to do with it.

That’s what all the candidates say. But tonight appears to be the third time Trump appeared at an event where members of one of the PACs was taking donations.

CNN describes the 2nd one, earlier this week, hosted at Ivanka’s in-laws.

Trump attended a fundraising event Sunday at the home of real estate developer Charles Kushner and his wife, Seryl — Ivanka Trump’s in-laws — on the Jersey Shore. Some attendees were asked to pony up $10,000 for a group called Make America Great Again.

Donors were given the option of making contributions to the super PAC or to the nonprofit entity, noting their personal information would be kept private if they chose to contribute to the nonprofit, according to an invitation to the event.

...some guests said they attended Trump’s weekend fundraiser and donated — begrudgingly — because they did not want to jeopardize their business relationships with the Kushners or the Trumps, according to an attendee.

OK, it does appear tonight’s event is not related to the PACs but is just hosted by a supporter. Like you said, the price tag tonight appears to be $100 per person so may not really raise any money beyond the costs.
