The U.S. Treasury Department is planning a star-studded summit Wednesday tied to the launch of “Trump Accounts,” and The Hollywood Reporter has learned that rapper Nicki Minaj, Marty Supreme and Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary, and Curb Your Enthusiasm star (and spouse of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) Cheryl Hines are all slated to join President Trump and Secretary Scott Bessent at the event.
Trump accounts are a new type of tax-advantaged individual retirement account for children that parents, guardians, employers and other donors can contribute to, and were created in last year’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
The specific details of the summit remain under wraps for now, though Trump and Bessent are both scheduled to deliver remarks, and it will be streamed on X. It will also include “policy briefings” and “expert discussions,” per Treasury. “The summit will convene senior administration officials, everyday Americans, and key stakeholders to outline how Trump Accounts work, discuss projected economic impacts, and emphasize the administration’s commitment to expanding financial opportunity for American families,” the department says.
Other participants in the summit will include the conservative influencer Isabel Brown, political consultant Alex Bruesewitz, Sen. Ted Cruz, Michael Dell (who recently joined the consortium buying the U.S. operations of TikTok) and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
The event will have significantly more star power than a typical Treasury Department rollout, underscoring how the department wants to draw attention to the accounts. In fact, Bessent had previously said in a radio interview that there will be a commercial touting the Trump Accounts during next month’s Super Bowl, shortly after the national anthem.
The celebrities involved all have some conservative bona fides, with Hines of course married to a senior member of the Trump administration, and O’Leary a frequent commentator on economic issues on TV (when he isn’t moonlighting with Timothée Chalamet). Minaj, meanwhile, has been more outspoken about her politics in recent months, including an appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest last month, where she was interviewed by Erika Kirk.
“I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president,” Minaj said at the event. “I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope.”
