DeSantis’ team was out speculating that he would like $1 million in the future “speaking” events.

Some consider the ambitious financial goal that DeSantis (R-Fla.), set for himself as the 2024 presidential candidate to be unheard of for someone his size. Some claim that the Florida Governor set a new fundraising level comparable to that of a sitting president.

“For a non-general election candidate and a nonincumbent, those are steep numbers — but not for DeSantis, because I wouldn’t be surprised if he had in his first month a couple hundred million already done,” said Robert Wolf, Obama campaign fundraiser.

DeSantis has been making his platform clear in the media as the 2024 GOP primary season heats-up.  Recent nation polls show DeSantis as second, attracting the attention of many Republican donors.

“It was unusual for a potential presidential candidate to command such high-dollar amounts this early. But he pointed to grassroots movement toward DeSantis as well as polling that has consistently put DeSantis closer within striking distance of Trump than the rest of the field,” Brendan Steinhauser (a Texas-based GOP consultant) said.

According to NBC News DeSantis is valued at $500,000 if he travels to the city for the donor event.
