Hollywood “super connector” Michael Kives celebrated his 44th birthday on Saturday night in Los Angeles with guests including Bill and Hillary Clinton, David Geffen, Barry Diller, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson — and that was just at one table, we hear.
Also at that starry table, sources said, were producers Jason Blum and Brad Falchuk, Blum’s screenwriter wife, Lauren Schuker, fashion designer Misha Nonoo and her oil heir hubby, Mikey Hess, celebrity stylist Jamie Mizrahi and her investor husband, Nico Mizrahi, and Karlie Kloss and Josh Kushner.
VIPs mixing at the black-tie party also included Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, celeb jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer and “Nobody Wants This” masterminds Sara and Erin Foster.
Sources say the bash was held at the ultra-exclusive San Vicente Bungalows’ Santa Monica location.
Kives’ investment firm, K5 Global, was sued for $700 million by convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried’s bankrupt crypto exchange FTX.
Bankman-Fried, who allegedly paid K5 with misappropriated funds, called Kives “probably the most connected person I’ve ever met.”
When the suit was settled in January, FTX CEO John Ray said: “It is clear that K5 is a bright spot in the FTX portfolio, and the expected strong performance of their investments will be a key driver in the recovery efforts for our stakeholders.

Inside the secretive LA club where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hide out

Kate Middleton and Prince William’s last 5 years have been ‘a nightmare’: royal historian
When privacy-loving Prince Harry needs to get away from it all — including wife Meghan Markle and children Archie and Lilibet — he reportedly heads to one of Los Angeles’ most exclusive establishments.
Earlier this week, the Sun reported that the former royal had a room set aside at the San Vicente Bungalows — a members-only social club that’s become a haven for Left Coast boldfacers such as Elon Musk, Steven Spielberg, Leonardo DiCaprio, Miley Cyrus and Justin and Hailey Bieber — as an “escape place” from his young family.
While a rep for Harry later denied the rumor, the bungalows are indeed the place for A-listers looking for privacy.
Founded in 2018 by veteran boutique hotelier Jeffrey Klein, the hot spot is a hidden oasis in the middle of it all, tucked behind a thicket of lush greenery just below the bright lights of the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood.
Klein, who was uncharacteristically mum when contacted by The Post, is best known as the proprietor of the Sunset Tower Hotel just blocks away.
It’s a once-faded Art Deco palace that has hosted a Who’s Who of Hollywood — and countless Page Six-worthy sightings and parties — under his reign.
San Vicente Bungalows members get access to the private club’s well-coiffed grounds for a membership fee of $4,200 annually.
Things are decidedly more hush-hush at the bungalows, where members — who must be nominated by an existing member — shell out $1,800 for a membership fee, and $4,200 annually for access to a restaurant, pool, bar, well-coiffed grounds, private event spaces and nine guest rooms on property. Those under 35 get a reduced fee.
Harry and Meghan are rumored to be members, and the couple enjoyed a date night there in early March — their first public outing since the release of Harry’s memoir “Spare.”
Getting membership is nearly impossible.
According to GQ, Klein has a committee for the admission process comprised of high-profile people — Julia Roberts rumored to be among them — in art, fashion and entertainment.
