Other than being a Hollywood executive and major philanthropist, Geffen also happens to be a generous Democrat. _Daily Mail_ [notes](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3743316/Yachting-enemy-Ivanka-Trump-Jared-Kushner-jet-ski-Croatia-Democratic-Hollywood-billionaire-David-Geffen-s-200m-boat.html) that Geffen was an early supporter of [President Obama](http://motto.time.com/4453847/president-obama-lily-letter/) and donated large sums to both Bernie Sanders’ and [Hillary Clinton](http://motto.time.com/4441371/hillary-clinton-sexist-comments/)‘s campaigns during the primaries. No mention of a donation to Ivanka’s father, however. Trump and Kushner enjoyed the day jet skiing, tanning, and [sightseeing with Wendi Deng](http://motto.time.com/4451859/pals-ivanka-trump-and-wendi-deng-murdoch-go-sightseeing-in-croatia/), Rupert Murdoch’s ex-wife. Academy Award winner [Brian Grazer](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004976/), known for _24_ and _A Beautiful Mind_, and his wife, Veronica, also joined the outing. Geffen’s political views are fairly opposite those of Donald Trump, which makes this yachting excursion all the more interesting. In 2014, Geffen [told](http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/04/opinion/sunday/dowd-42-and-45-overpower-44.html?%5Fr=1) Maureen Dowd of the New York _Times_ that in 2008 he withdrew his support form the Clintons because he felt they lied “with such ease, it’s troubling.” He would, however, support her in 2016, and has called her an “an extraordinary, smart, accomplished woman.” Ivanka Trump isn’t the only major name to vacation on Geffen’s 82-room yacht. Other guests include Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Bruce Springsteen. Leonardo DiCaprio is holding a [fundraiser](http://time.com/4434786/leonardo-dicaprio-clinton-fundraiser/) for Clinton on August 23, where tickets cost $33,400 per person. During a [June concert](http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/06/bruce-springsteen-concert-germany-fck-trump/) in Germany, Springsteen held up a sign that read “F— Trump.” Politics aside, it looked like smooth sailing. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4455736/ivanka-trump-vacation-david-geffen-yacht/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4455736/ivanka-trump-vacation-david-geffen-yacht/"},"headline":"Ivanka Trump Vacations on Hillary Clinton Donor's Yacht","datePublished":"2016-08-17T14:02:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:03:10.410Z","description":"David Geffen is a deep-pocketed Democrat","url":"https://time.com/4455736/ivanka-trump-vacation-david-geffen-yacht/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt304c3644be6499ee/6988a2a50b72e3283a6eaacf/ivanka-trump-david-geffen-yacht-vacation.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt304c3644be6499ee/6988a2a50b72e3283a6eaacf/ivanka-trump-david-geffen-yacht-vacation.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology\" Costume Institute Gala","caption":"\"Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology\" Costume Institute Gala","creditText":"Mike Coppola—People.com/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4455736/ivanka-trump-vacation-david-geffen-yacht/","name":"Ivanka Trump Vacations on Hillary Clinton Donor's Yacht"}}]}] ```
