Influencers, tech bros and MMA fighters: Trumpâs inauguration guests
Alongside the former presidents, family members and US officials you would expect to see at Donald Trumpâs inauguration, there have also been a host of faces familiar for less traditional reasons.
Weâve seen OpenAI CEO Sam Altman taking selfies with influencer brothers Logan and Jake Paul, and controversial Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor chatting to British politician Nigel Farage.
Also in attendance are tech billionaires like Metaâs Mark Zuckerberg and Amazonâs Jeff Bezos, media tycoon Rupert Murdoch and FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
We will continue spotting the notable and unusual names among the crowd as the day progresses.
Tech billionaires
Trumpâs close and controversial friendship with X owner Elon Musk is well known but Musk isnât the only tech chief at Mondayâs inauguration.
Mark Zuckerberg, who earlier this month announced Meta was to get rid of factcheckers and âdramatically reduce the amount of censorshipâ on its platforms, is also in attendance.
Influencers
Another tech billionaire in attendance is Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, who was pictured posing for a group selfie with boxer and influencer Jake Paul, and Paulâs brother, wrestler and influencer Logan.
Logan and Jake Paul also shared a selfie of them travelling to the inauguration with controversial Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor.
Last year, a civil court found McGregor had raped Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in December 2018.
The Paul brothers have also had their own controversies. In 2021, Jake Paul denied sexually assaulting TikTok star Justine Paradise, after she accused him online.
At the end of last year, Logan Paul faced fresh questions over his cryptocurrency dealings amid ongoing concerns he may have profited from misleading fans.

McGregor was also pictured alongside the head of the Reform UK political party, Nigel Farage, at a Trump rally on Sunday night.
Media names
Rupert Murdoch, chairman emeritus of News Corporation, which owns Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, the Sun and the Times, is attending with his fifth wife Elena Zhukova.
Mr Murdoch, 93, married the retired Russian biologist last year in a ceremony at his Californian vineyard.
Politicians and former presidents
As is customary at presidential inaugurations, a host of former US presidents are in attendance.
Much has been made in the media of Michelle Obama, who attended the first Trump inauguration in 2017, not accompanying her husband Barack to Mondayâs event.
There alongside Obama, who was in power before Trumpâs last term began, are former presidents including Bill Clinton and George W Bush.
Another familiar face is former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
When Johnson took to power in 2019, Trump described him as âa good manâ, adding: âThey call him Britainâs Trump.â
