Former Facebook and Oculus executive Palmer Luckey will host a fundraiser for President Donald Trump at Luckey's Southern California home this weekend, according to an invitation viewed by CNBC.
Trump and Vice President Mike Pence's "Victory" campaign will hold the event in Orange County at "The home of Nicole and Palmer Luckey" on October 18th, the invitation states. Tickets range from $2,800 per person up to $100,000 per person. It also includes Ric Grenell, the former acting director of the United States National Intelligence agency.
After leaving Oculus, Luckey started his current company Anduril with a mission to build cutting-edge defense technology for the U.S. government. Based in Irvine, California, Luckey's startup made Anvil, a quadcopter that can fly 100 miles an hour and was purchased by the U.S. military to be tested by special forces soldiers. The company secured a $1 billion valuation in September 2019, CNBC reported.
