Donald Trump Jr.’s Wedding Celebration Was Partially Funded by Russian Oligarch, the Couple Confirms
ProPublica said Umar Kremlev covered more than $100,000 in expenses, including a private island rental and a fireworks display, for the three-day celebration.
- On Monday, ProPublica reported that Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev heavily funded the Bahamas wedding celebration of Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson.
- Kremlev, president of the International Boxing Association, covered the $100,000 bill for a private island rental and dropped $70,000 on a fireworks display for the three-day event.
- In an Instagram post, Bettina Trump claimed the couple married privately on Friday, describing Kremlev as a "dear friend" who "very generously hosted" the celebrations.
- While the Trumps claim Kremlev is a close friend, sources described his presence at the event as puzzling, and he was absent from the 20 photos Bettina Trump shared online.
- The financial support arrives as the Kremlin seeks favorable policy from the Trump administration amid the war in Ukraine; just this weekend, the president urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to stop attacking Russian oil refineries.
