Since the late 1990s, President Donald Trump has been known for throwing spirited New Year’s Eve celebrations at his Mar-a-Lago estate, and this Wednesday night is no exception.

Among the anticipated guests this year are two newcomers to the reality TV scene, Hilary Musser and Rosalyn Yellin, who star in the Netflix series “Members Only: Palm Beach,” as confirmed by Daily Mail.

Laura Loomer, a conspiracy theorist closely connected with the president, revealed to the Daily Mail her plans to attend. She also mentioned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who engaged in official discussions with Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, might be present.

The White House has remained silent regarding the guest list and has not commented on Netanyahu’s potential attendance.

There is speculation that musician Kid Rock might join the festivities, as he recently shared a photograph of himself golfing with Trump at the president’s West Palm Beach venue.

Former Representative George Santos, who had his federal prison sentence commuted by Trump in October, said he was hosting his own New Year’s Party in New York this year. Santos had been at the Mar-a-Lago party to welcome 2021.

Attendees over the course of three decades have included Martha Stewart, Serena Williams, Sylvester Stallone, the late Regis Philbin, Jason Aldean and Tiger Woods.

In recent years, it hasn’t attracted as many celebrity guests, instead welcoming MAGA mainstays like My Pillow’s Mike Lindell and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, as well as the well-monied set who can afford a membership to the president’s private beachfront Florida club.

Those with club memberships are each allowed two guests – and the party comes at an additional cost, which one Mar-a-Lago member told the Daily Mail amounts to several thousand dollars. 

Ronald Kessler, a best-selling author known for his books on the Secret Service, FBI, and CIA, previously delved into Palm Beach society for his 1999 tome, The Season: Inside Palm Beach and America’s Richest Society

Kessler befriended Trump while doing research for his book, and got a firsthand look at one of the future president’s first New Year’s Eve parties.

‘Everyone wants to come to Mar-a-Lago. For New Year’s Eve, we have hundreds of requests for reservations. We can’t get them in,’ Trump is quoted as saying in December 1998. ‘Rod Stewart took a table, Ron Perelman took four tables. We’ve had Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Diana Ross, Jay Leno, Julio Iglesias, Tony Bennett, the Beach Boys, Tom Jones. It’s the hot place.’ 

At that year’s party, Trump was accompanied by his then-girlfriend, Melania Knauss, with one partygoer remarking that the next year’s theme could be, ‘Melania for the millennium.’ 

She was indeed, as the couple has now been together for 27 years.

To welcome in 1999, Donna Summer performed a set on Mar-a-Lago’s lawn, as Mar-a-Lago’s gilded ballroom hadn’t been constructed yet. 

Kessler told the Daily Mail he attended the New Year’s Eve festivities many times after writing his book, including in December 2015, when Trump was a first-time presidential candidate.

He wrote up his observations that year for the Daily Mail, recalling how he was served truffle and ricotta ravioli, filet mignon and scallops and sparkling wine from the Trump-branded Charlottesville, Virginia vineyard. 

Donatella Versace was a guest and partied alongside a pregnant Ivanka Trump. 

Trump had turned Mar-a-Lago – which he had purchased 10 years before – into a private club in 1995, incensing locals by accepting Jewish people and African-Americans as members, which many Palm Beach private clubs barred at the time. 

He called the trust fund babies who opposed his plans for Mar-a-Lago members of the ‘lucky sperm club,’ Kessler wrote in his book. 

Before Trump’s political career took off, he hosted an array of celebrities at the club. 

In one memorable anecdote, Sean ‘Puff Daddy’ Combs – who has since been sentenced to spend 50 months in federal prison on prostitution-related charges – wandered from Mar-a-Lago next door to the Bath & Tennis Club, which didn’t accept minority members. 

Diddy got kicked out of Bath & Tennis after being caught hooking up with his girlfriend on a lounger, Kessler’s book recalled. It was Trump who told the author the story.

Early honorary Mar-a-Lago members included Stewart, the singer who is a neighbor of Trump’s, Stallone, the late Charlton Heston, Steven Spielberg and Denzel Washington.

In recent years, the ‘celebrities’ at Mar-a-Lago have become more MAGA-aligned and political in nature. 

Stallone, a recent winner of the Trumpified Kennedy Center Honors, is still a fixture. 

Woods is dating Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife Vanessa, which the Daily Mail first reported, and thus is still in the Mar-a-Lago orbit. 

But Stewart has since distanced himself from Trump, saying in an interview in June that he doesn’t approve of the president’s behavior toward women and the Trump administration selling arms to Israel. ‘Since he became president, he became another guy,’ Stewart said. ‘Somebody I didn’t know.’

Spielberg spent hundreds of thousands of dollars last year to help Democratic candidates get elected, while actor Washington had to slap down a story that said he supported Trump’s first election. 

During last year’s celebration, which took place three weeks before Trump returned to the White House, Elon Musk, who brought along son X, turned heads. 

As did Trump Jr.’s new girlfriend, Bettina Anderson, with New Year’s Eve serving as her official coming-out party, after the younger Trump broke off his engagement to the current ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle. 

The couple has since gotten engaged.

Mar-a-Lago was still partying like it’s 1999, more than two decades later, with 90s rapper Vanilla Ice tapped to ring in 2021, just weeks before Trump would leave office and days before the January 6 Capitol attack. 

Trump ditched the party that year, and guests were criticized for partying indoors amid the COVID-19 pandemic without wearing masks.  

Vanilla Ice – who lives nearby – returned to perform for the event to kick off 2024 – a much better year for the president – bringing along with him another piece of 90s nostalgia, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. 

Last year, one musical act was a little closer to home: daughter-in-law Lara Trump took the stage to perform a rendition of Tom Petty’s, I Won’t Back Down. 

But at least one Trump loyalist tells the Daily Mail he’s staying away from Mar-a-Lago ball drop this year, pouring cold water on the perceived hype around the party.

‘Been for NYE before, boring and left early,’ the source said.
