12. $75,000 per person and $150,000 per couple? For what...a photo with Trump?

Looked up price of the most expensive package to see the Kentucky Derby:

$6,780 for a ticket (via Vivid Seats) to the super swanky Millionaire's Row seating section

$478 for roundtrip airfare to Louisville.

$2,997 for three-night stay at Galt House: It’s both historic and luxurious.

$80 for Uber Select rides to Churchill Downs: Uber has designated drop-off points this year.

$213 for the Bowties & Bourbon Derby Day Party: Make sure to pack your hat.

$1,000 for a limited edition Mint Julep: It’s made with Woodford Reserve bourbon and served in a commemorative cup.

$150 for dinners after the race at Louisville's top restaurants like Holy Grale

Total: $11,698

The grift continues.
