Nicki Minaj and Kevin O’Leary Join Trump for Launch of New Venture

The U.S. Treasury Department is breaking tradition this week by injecting a dose of Hollywood glamour into a federal policy rollout. On Wednesday, the department will host a high-profile summit to mark the official launch of Trump Accounts, a centerpiece of the financial reform passed in last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Rapper Nicki Minaj, Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl Hines, and Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary are all set to join President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for the event.

Trump Accounts are a newly established type of tax-advantaged individual retirement account tailored specifically for American children. Under the new law, every child born between 2025 and 2028 receives a $1,000 government seed deposit, while parents and employers can contribute up to $5,000 annually. Treasury officials stated the gathering will convene senior administration officials, everyday Americans, and key stakeholders to outline how Trump Accounts work.

Secretary Bessent has been aggressive in his push to make these accounts a household name, even hinting at a major commercial set to air during next month’s Super Bowl. The summit, which will be streamed live on X, aims to demystify the investment rules and withdrawal restrictions associated with the program. The summit will outline how Trump Accounts work, discuss projected economic impacts, and emphasize the administration’s commitment to expanding financial opportunity, the department explained.

The celebrity roster brings a level of visibility rarely seen in the halls of the Treasury. Nicki Minaj has been notably vocal about her shifting political stance, making a recent appearance at a Turning Point USA event where she expressed deep admiration for the current administration. I don’t know if he even knows this, but he’s given so many people hope, the rapper shared during a recent interview.

Beyond the financial summit, Nicki Minaj is preparing for a massive media takeover in early 2026.

Do you think that using major celebrities to promote government financial programs makes the policies more accessible or is it just a distraction from the technical details of the bill? Share your thoughts in the comments.
