The who\u2019s who of Silicon Valley and Washington converged at Peter Thiel\u2019s Beaux-Arts mansion in D.C. on Saturday evening, as the power brokers gathered in anticipation<\/a> of the inauguration of President-elect Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n

The casino mogul Miriam Adelson, one of the richest people in the world, arrived minutes before the 5 p.m. party officially started, joined shortly after by one of the few people richer: Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Meta.<\/p>\n

He briskly walked in from the cold to the 10,000 square-foot home in the Woodley Park neighborhood, clad in black-tie attire and surrounded by a few security people and his newly promoted head of global policy, Joel Kaplan, who has a long history in Republican politics. Mr. Zuckerberg stayed for about 90 minutes at the home of Mr. Thiel, a board member at Meta and mentor to him, declining to answer shouted questions from reporters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mr. Thiel\u2019s other powerful friends joined later, and most party attendees (though not Mr. Zuckerberg) had to be screened by Secret Service agents. At around 7:30 p.m., Vice President-elect JD Vance arrived with his motorcade, although he stayed for less than 30 minutes. Mr. Vance was elected to the Senate in 2022 with $15 million in campaign support from Mr. Thiel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
