Gov. Andrew Cuomo and billionaire hedge fund manager Jim Chanos are slated to join 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden in a fundraising effort in New York next month, according to a report.
The main stop on the former vice president’s trip will be at the Upper East Side home of Chanos, a famed short-seller, and it will be there where Cuomo will introduce Biden, CNBC reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
New York real estate executives including Bruce Mosler, chairman of global brokerage at Cushman & Wakefield, Hal Fetner, CEO of Fetner Properties, and Kenneth Fisher, a co-managing partner at Fisher Brothers, will also be at the June 17 shindig, the news outlet reported.
Tickets for the event at Chanos’ home are expected to run up to $2,800 per person and at least 150 people are expected to attend, according to CNBC.
Sources told the news site there will be at least two other smaller gatherings for Biden during his trip to New York.
