President Joe Biden is spending his historic New Year’s tropical vacation at the property of a billionaire business owner who attended his first presidential state dinner just weeks prior.

Biden flew to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands on Tuesday with his family in the first trip by a sitting U.S. president to the region since President Harry Truman. The Biden family is staying free of charge at the house of Bill and Connie Neville, according to the New York Post. The billionaire couple who were among the 338 people in attendance at Biden's first presidential state dinner this month with French President Emmanuel Macron.

The Nevilles have supported the Bidens for years. Biden regularly vacationed in St. Croix prior to his presidency, and a White House official confirmed to the Post that the Bidens have previously stayed at the Neville residence there. The Nevilles donated more than $10,000 to Biden’s 2020 campaign and PAC, according to Federal Election Commission records, and are regular contributors of several prominent Democrats.
