Developers for a Trump Tower in India are offering to fly the first 100 buyers to the U.S. to meet Donald Trump Jr.


Forget surreptitious jaunts to Manhattan's Trump Tower — if you want to meet Donald Trump Jr., consider investing in Indian real estate.
The Guardian reported Friday that the first 100 buyers of luxury apartments in a new Trump building in Gurgaon, India, will be flown to the U.S. to hang out with President Trump's eldest son. The Guardian reports that the project's developers, Tribeca Developers and M3M, are not being subtle about their offer either, having adopted the phrase: "Buy a flat, meet Trump Jr."
The pitch has apparently worked, as the director for India-based M3M revealed in a statement last week that 20 apartments in the building had been sold — worth roughly $15 million in total. The Trump Towers in Gurgaon — which is about 20 miles south of Delhi — is the fifth Trump-branded property in India, The Guardian notes.

The Indian website for the project boasts that Trump-branded buildings have "become the most prestigious address that the most deserving people can get." But that's exactly the problem, former White House ethics chief Norm Eisen said. "Making Donald Jr. available to those who can afford it in a foreign land based on purchasing a property is an ethics atrocity," Eisen told The Guardian.
For those who can afford it, the apartments at the Trump Towers in Gurgaon are reported to cost between $500,000 and $1 million. Read more at The Guardian.
