The crypto billionaire Justin Sun said he received a $100,000 Trump-branded watch at President Donald Trump's meme coin dinner on Thursday, held at the Trump National Golf Club outside Washington, DC. The top 220 holders of the token were invited to the event.

In photos and videos of the event, Sun posed with other attendees and signed a printout of a leaderboard showing he was No. 1 among the top 220 Trump coin holders.

Sun said he was gifted a Trump Tourbillon watch, which retails for $100,000. The top 25 holders were treated to a more intimate reception with Trump.

"I really appreciate, like, everything the Trump administration has done to our industry," Sun said in a video that he reposted on X. "As the president said right before, so like, basically, like, 100 days ago, like, they go after crypto people like everywhere. That's impossible for us to have such beautiful events in DC."
