On Wednesday night in Miami, billionaires and royals waited in line to get a seat for President Trump’s speech at the Saudi Arabia-backed Future Investment Initiative (FII) summit.
Everyone from Trump’s former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to former Google CEO Eric Schmidt to WeWork founder Adam Neumann queued to get a seat in the conference hall, or even in the overflow area. Moguls texted FII organizers and PR reps for seats directly in the President’s sightline or near some of his most important allies — namely Elon Musk.
Neumann, sources said, didn’t have much luck getting inside either room.
“You had queues of the world’s top investors … people who don’t often queue,” an FII spokesperson told NYNext.
The following day, attendees flocked to hear President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner interview Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff where the pair discussed whether “a new era of US-Middle East Economic Cooperation Dawning?” Sources told The Post the chat was oversubscribed with standing room only.
The FII Summit runs through Friday at the Faena Hotel and forum next door. It’s the third such FII event held in Miami.
This year the conference — launched less than a decade ago in Riyadh — showed a new level of power and political influence. Last year, the Miami event attracted serious investors but no notable sitting government officials from the Biden administration.
Since launching in the Saudi Arabian capital in 2017, FII has expanded to a few other cities. In addition to its Miami presence, it debuted in Brazil in 2024, and there are plans to expand to Europe and Asia.

An alternative to Davos? Based on growth and productive investment? No bowing down to climate change insanity?
Sign me up!
At least here you’ve got … queue-anon.
I know. I’ll show myself out.
A piece of this was broadcast on Newsmax or OANN. It’s a counter to elites planning to subjugate us, not a new version of the globalist hell.
Unlike the Davos billionaires I doubt this group has any interest in anyone eating bugs.
And they don’t have to fly in the call girls.
ha! Apparently they needed clowns at the event.
