These exclusive timepieces\u2014so exclusive that barely anyone knows they exist\u2014were purchased and then modified by a bespoke operation in London. There are two options: a gold Day-Date Presidential and a GMT Pepsi, both with blue faces and the gold seal of the president on the dial. At the 45- and 47-second markers sits a star. On the back, there\u2019s an engraving of the White House.These watches\u2014known to a select few as \u201cthe White House Rolex\u201d\u2014are gossiped about with no shortage of envy, as they were made only for White House staff. Specifically, the White House staff who could afford to pay for them. \u201cThere\u2019s no one fucking rich enough in the West Wing to actually buy the watch!\u201d one insider joked. In Trump\u2019s White House, this is not strictly true, but it does limit the clientele.Steve Witkoff, Trump\u2019s billionaire peace envoy; Susie Wiles, his chief of staff; and Will Scharf, the White House counsel, all own one of these models, as do several members of Vice President JD Vance\u2019s operation, including chief of staff Nick Luna and national security adviser Cliff Sims. Outside the West Wing, 2024 campaign maestro Chris LaCivita and Trump\u2019s longtime pollster Tony Fabrizio are part of a very small circle in possession of one. The White House declined to comment.These timepieces are part of a time-honored Washington tradition. Every four years, a new flock of strivers swoop in for the status hunt, collecting the symbols that demonstrate their positions in the pecking order. It\u2019s always been this way. In 1962, Tom Wolfe wrote a story that was never published. The drafts sit in a box at the New York Public Library, and they trace the markers of social rank in John F. Kennedy\u2019s Washington: A row house in Georgetown. An invitation to a cocktail party at the French Embassy\u2014or, better yet, the Iranian ambassador\u2019s compound, where you were received by his wife, a princess and the sister of the shah, in a lush garden covered wall to wall with Oriental rugs. Or a helicopter, which, per Wolfe, liberates one \u201cfrom the grime and clutter of the American masses.\u201d What else is money for?Washington is, more than ever, a town flush with cash and starved of humility. The Trump administration is the richest in history, and a towering tolerance for profiteering has ensured a lobbying boom. Even small-time players can rake in the cash in exchange for the specter of proximity to Trump. That\u2019s fueled a climate wherein the flaunting of station is seen not as gauche, but as the ultimate demonstration of success. And it has spawned a new set of status symbols coveted by the newly rich lobbyists, donors, and administration officials enjoying, with flash and impunity, the spoils of a second Trump presidency.The ClubsThe Founders Dining Room at The Ned, pictured in January 2025.\nThe Washington Post/Getty ImagesYou walk into The Ned, the Washington members club across the street from the White House, and take the elevator to the 10th floor. You walk through the dining room, which is called \u201cthe library,\u201d though no one is reading more than a cocktail menu, and down a hallway until you hit an unmarked door. Through that is a private room, accessible only to so-called founding members who have paid $150,000 for the privilege. You sit down at one of a few dozen tables where a golden plaque has been placed with your name on it.You can almost see into the White House from the room\u2019s south-facing windows. There\u2019s a martini bar and steaks shipped in from Taylor Sheridan\u2019s Four Sixes Ranch in Texas. You might spot Jeff Miller, the veteran Republican fundraiser, or Heather Podesta, the powerhouse lobbyist, or Howard Lutnick, Trump\u2019s Commerce Secretary. Here you\u2019re closed off from the plebeians, but that might not save you from well-heeled climbers. One diner recalled a recent horror show wherein Senator Chris Coons was repeatedly approached by Ajay Banga, the head of the World Bank, who wanted to bend his ear in the middle of dinner. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of access in that room,\u201d the diner said, their tone lowering in disapproval. \u201cBut you really aren\u2019t supposed to table-hop.\u201dFurther up the food chain, no venue provides better access than Executive Branch. The Georgetown members club launched by Donald Trump Jr. and his business partner Omeed Malik, the financier and founder of 1789 Capital, costs up to $500,000 to join. It boasts a moneyed crowd: David Sacks and the Winklevoss twins are founding members and are often seen there mingling with Trump administration officials. The regular membership runs $250,000, while a special offer for government officials is a relative pittance at $15,000. The draw of Executive Branch is not just proximity to the MAGA powerful but a steep barrier to entry that ensures far more privacy than the alternatives. Wiles, Trump\u2019s discreet chief of staff, recently celebrated her 69th birthday in the club\u2019s subterranean rooms.Executive Branch members scoff at those strivers relegated to The Ned, which they dismiss as little more than a tarted-up Soho House. \u201cI can\u2019t go to the fucking Ned. I would get mobbed,\u201d says one famed Trumpworld figure. The club doesn\u2019t allow journalists to join and counts just two lobbyists as members: Jeff Miller, of course, and Ches McDowell, the swaggering lobbyist who\u2019s close with Don Jr. (Miller and McDowell declined to comment.) One member of both clubs pointed out a crucial distinction between them: the caliber of government officials throwing hands at each. \u201cAt Executive Branch, fights happen between Scott Bessent and Bill Pulte,\u201d the member said, referring to the famous bust-up between the two Trump officials last year. \u201cIt\u2019s top-tier people. And then at Ned\u2019s Club, it\u2019s like Kari Lake fighting a fucking clerk for Ketanji Brown Jackson,\u201d he joked.Unlike the staid and sober Republicans of yore, the MAGA set likes to party, and a number of big-name artists\u201450 Cent, Timbaland, and Akon\u2014have performed at Executive Branch. These bashes are attended by the most important members of the administration. \u201cThe parties are wild,\u201d says a club member who\u2019s never missed a show. \u201cYou have Nelly and Ja Rule and 50 Cent performing, and Dr. Oz and his wife ripping it up on the dance floor. Imagine being 50 Cent and looking out into the crowd and you see the attorney general, Todd Blanche, dancing?\u201dThe WatchesTrump envoy Steve Witkoff's watch collection is the envy of MAGA Washington.\nKENT NISHIMURA/Getty ImagesIt\u2019s not just custom Rolexes. The wealth that pervades Trump\u2019s Washington has generally made for flashier wrists. The tone is typically set at the top, and past presidents have sought discreet timepieces to assure voters of their Everyman bona fides. George W. Bush famously wore a $50 Timex, and Barack Obama alternated between a humble Jorg Gray gifted to him by his Secret Service detail and a TAG Heuer available for the price of dinner at The Ned.The ice on display in Trump\u2019s Washington makes Obama\u2019s TAG look like a poverty signifier. For those unable to score a White House special, Audemars Piguets and Patek Philippes are respected alternatives. Over a drink at The Ned, I recently marveled at the Royal Oak glinting from beneath the cuff of a 20-something operative.Witkoff, the billionaire real estate magnate now serving as Trump\u2019s special envoy, boasts the flashiest collection in town. He\u2019s been known to wear a rose gold Patek Nautilus, a Rolex Daytona with a Tiffany dial, and an Audemars Piguet Tourbillon. Each can fetch north of $100,000, but other collections aren\u2019t too shabby either: Wiles typically sports a diamond-encrusted Rolex Datejust, while White House communications director Steven Cheung, in a nod to his West Wing nickname, wears a Rolex Daytona Panda.The TransportIn Wolfe\u2019s reporting on Kennedy\u2019s Washington, he found the Lincoln Town Car had replaced the Cadillac as the vehicle for heavy hitters. Today, Uber has democratized the limousine. When low-level West Wing staffers can hail a Suburban for $30, the black car loses its luster. Now, the private jet is the chariot of choice for the Washington elite. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to have a G450 or Challenger 300,\u201d says one lobbyist. \u201cLower than that and you\u2019re kind of a loser.\u201dBut even more coveted is the port of arrival. Dulles, the Virginia airport 45 minutes from Washington, is one of the busiest in the country for private jet travel. Reagan, less than five miles from the capital, is far more convenient, but since 9/11 the flow of private traffic there has been restricted. It requires a waiver and the presence of an armed security officer on every flight, which means arriving there is a perk only the most powerful in Washington enjoy. Some civilian jet-setters who don\u2019t travel with security as a matter of routine opt to go through Manassas, a small regional airport an hour outside Washington. Both options offer a more pampered experience than Dulles, with the not insignificant benefit of ensuring you never encounter the grime and clutter of the American masses.The TrinketsLouis XIV, the imperial French leader who called himself \u201cThe Sun King,\u201d was known to hand out miniature portraits of himself, framed by diamonds, as marks of royal favor. Similarly, small tokens of Trump\u2019s fleeting affection are highly coveted.Thankfully, the White House doles out all manner of trinkets to excited visitors. The Oval Office study has even been converted into a miniature gift shop, replete with MAGA hats promising \u201cTrump 2028\u201d and boxes of M&M\u2019s bearing the presidential seal. (Trump refers to this as \u201cthe Monica Lewinsky room,\u201d given rumors it once hosted an infamous tryst.) The president himself hands out White House \u201cchallenge coins,\u201d which are small medallions made for each government agency, though Trump\u2019s are distinct in one way. \u201cThey typically fit in the palm of your hand,\u201d explains a Republican strategist. \u201cHis is enormous. It\u2019s like a small frisbee.\u201dTrump scion Eric's special cufflinks peek out from beneath his suit sleeve at Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral.\nALEX WROBLEWSKI/Getty ImagesPerhaps the most prized gift of all could be spotted peeking out from beneath the suit worn by Eric Trump at Lindsey Graham\u2019s funeral: red cuff links with the presidential seal in gold, embossed with Trump\u2019s signature on the back. \u201cThose are fucking status symbols,\u201d says the strategist. \u201cBecause they come straight from the president himself.\u201d The cuff links are handed out to a select few, because the red pair denotes true admiration. Sir Keir Starmer, then prime minister of the United Kingdom, was shafted with a comparatively pedestrian silver pair.These tokens marketing one\u2019s proximity to the president blanket the offices of MAGA lobbyists on K Street. Walls are covered in signed pictures with Trump and other assorted MAGA-phernalia. \u201cTwenty years ago, people had \u2018Me walls,\u2019 which are walls of photos of \u2018Me with this president,\u2019 \u2018Me with the Speaker,\u2019 \u2018Me with the Secretary of State,\u2019\u201d explains one longtime Washingtonian. \u201cNow they have Trump walls\u201d\u2014full-on MAGA frescoes honoring the president and establishing whatever tenuous connection they have to him. This kind of political decorating can get silly: A close friend of the Trump family joked about how many offices are now filled with signed hats and pictures with the president from fundraisers, \u201ceven though Trump couldn\u2019t pick you out of a police lineup.\u201dThe FashionGone are the Men\u2019s Wearhouse suits and J.Crew dresses that once defined style in the capital. The MAGA set is all flash. Men and women alike wear Gucci horsebit loafers. You trip over them at the White House. Women have been \u201cupping their game\u201d in this second term, says publicist Vanessa Santos, a trend she credits to first lady Melania Trump and Margo Martin, the Trump adviser who posts glamorous shots of her power suits and Chanel shoes on Instagram. The new Republican dames are partial to red-bottom Louboutins and Farm Rio dresses, channeling the glammed-up styles of Fox News.Margo Martin is a DC MAGA style icon.\nThe Washington Post/Getty ImagesThe makeup artist of choice is Adrienne Gray. A self-styled \u201cright-wing glam girl,\u201d she\u2019s a regular presence at the White House, slathering the faces of the West Wing in thick coats of makeup. \u201cI know the clean girl look is in, kitten heels are in,\u201d she tells Vanity Fair, referring to the demure style currently popular in Los Angeles and New York, \u201cbut here girls want stilettos and full glam.\u201d Gray befriended Karoline Leavitt after meeting her at Trump National, and after posting pictures of makeup she\u2019d done for friends on Instagram, she says Leavitt called to ask her to come and do her makeup for the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner. Two days later, she got a call from Lara Trump, the president\u2019s daughter-in-law, seeking her services for a state dinner.And of course it\u2019s boom times for plastic surgery in the capital\u2014both men and women included\u2014though most fly down to Florida for their procedures. They\u2019ve been emboldened in their hunt for nipped, tucked, and blown-up beauty by the DC gold rush. The longtime Washingtonian recalls a recent encounter with a top lobbyist who had a facelift some years ago. When she arrived, she was shocked to discover the lobbyist\u2019s deputy now also has a facelift, marveling, \u201cBusiness must be good!\u201dThe Mansions (and Their Armed Guards)\u201cThere was a boom in luxury homes when the Trump people came to town,\u201d says one luxury broker. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing on the market now.\u201d Howard Lutnick dropped $25 million on a French ch\u00e2teau-style mansion previously owned by Fox News anchor Bret Baier. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines, settled into a $4.5 million town house nearby. A few blocks away from the MAHA Kennedys sits a cream monolith that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spent $12.5 million on last year.But for some high-profile West Wing staff, the prize isn\u2019t a Georgetown palace; it\u2019s a base in Washington\u2019s heavily fortified military housing. The administration cites the dangers of public service as the impetus for this caution. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth moved into homes typically reserved for top military brass. Stephen Miller moved with his wife, Katie, and their children onto a military base after facing threats at their home in Arlington, Virginia. Miller is one of the few administration officials who enjoys full Secret Service protection, which accompanies him on trips to the country club where he maintains a membership.The Poisoned ChaliceSome in town are wary of the scrutiny all this flaunting can bring. \u201cThe real big-time money is not looking for attention,\u201d says one Republican operator. \u201cBut if you\u2019re the muffler king of Sheboygan, this is something that appeals to you.\u201dIn your search for status in Washington, you will often be reminded of the lesson learned the hard way by Frank Lucas in American Gangster, when Denzel Washington\u2019s drug kingpin wears an ostentatious chinchilla coat to Madison Square Garden and catches the attention of the police.\u201cMake no mistake,\u201d cautions the operator. \u201cThe real money comes in and out of this town unnoticed.\u201dFrom Prince George to Princess Leonor: Where Young Royals Will Attend School This FallThe Pitt\u2019s Patrick Ball on Shipping, Stardom, and Season 3From Cowboys to Clean Girls: The State of American Style, in PicturesAidan McLaughlin is the Washington correspondent for Vanity Fair, covering politics and power in the nation's capital.
