Aussie billionaire James Packer has been spotted dining alongside Donald Trump and Elon Musk with his glamorous new girlfriend.

James Packer has been pictured dining alongside Donald Trump and Elon Musk, becoming the latest Australian billionaire to share a meal with the soon-to-be US President.

Footage shared to Instagram by the 57-year-old’s girlfriend, model and philanthropist Renee Elizabeth Blythewood, showed Mr Packer seated at a round table next to the President-elect.

Mr Musk, the world’s richest man and a top adviser to Mr Trump, was across the table beside Mr Packer’s business partner and best friend, Brett Ratner.

The dinner is believed to have taken place in the US overnight, The Daily Telegraph reported, just days before Mr Trump’s January 20 inauguration.

Mr Packer and Ms Blythewood have reportedly been together since the end of 2023.

Earlier this month, The Telegraph revealed that Mr Packer and Mr Ratner’s production company, RatPac, has been granted “unprecedented” access to Melania Trump for a documentary about the notoriously private First Lady.

It will also reportedly feature “never before insights” into life in the Trump White House, as well as at Mr Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

It’s unclear whether Mr Packer will is part of the contingent of high-profile Australians set to see the Republican’s inauguration in Washington DC, chief among them our country’s richest person, Gina Rinehart.

The billionaire mining magnate and philanthropist has been a fixture at Mr Trump’s recent events and was at Mar-a-Lago on election night in November.

Ms Rinehart told news.com.au she was “excited” to be attending an “important occasion … for Americans and important for the USA-Australia relationship”.

“Donald Trump is exactly the kind of dedicated, strong, decisive, brave and unapologetic leader America desperately needs,” she said, adding that “his impact will be felt around the world”.

The executive chairman of Hancock Prospecting previously took out a full-page ad in The New York Times following Mr Trump’s election victory, saluting the businessman-cum-politician for “standing up, no matter what is thrown at you”.

Melbourne packaging billionaire Anthony Pratt has also confirmed he will be at the swearing-in ceremony and exclusive black-tie events in the lead-up this weekend.

Mr Pratt is understood to be close to Mr Trump, and was pictured alongside former Prime Minister Scott Morrison at Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Eve.

It’s not known if Mr Morrison will be there on Tuesday.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong confirmed she and Australia’s Ambassador to the US, Kevin Rudd, will be at the ceremony and meet with members of the Trump administration.

“I am honoured to be invited to attend President Donald Trump’s inauguration,” she said.

“It is a demonstration of the steadfast alliance between Australia and the United States.”
