Palm Beach’s Hilary Musser reveals how she got a Mar-a-Lago membership at such a young age
This was a whopping 20 years ago
Palm Beach has a way of feeling… exclusive in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of way.
Watch Members Only: Palm Beach and you’ll quickly realise this isn’t just another glossy reality show, it’s a peek into a world where memberships matter, addresses speak volumes, and everyone knows exactly who belongs where.
One of the most talked-about aspects of the show is the cast and their Mar-a-Lago connections.
Hilary reveals how she got into Mar-a-Lago
Let’s get straight into it. According to Hilary, her Mar-a-Lago membership wasn’t something she chased, networked for, or manifested over cocktails. She says it came with the house.
Hilary explained on Heather McDonald’s podcast that when she moved to the area in 2005, she lived directly across the street from Mar-a-Lago. At that time, the neighbouring homes were offered memberships as part of the property deal.
In her words, every house on that street received a membership, residents just had to pay the dues. It wasn’t about age, clout, or social positioning; it was about proximity. Very “Palm Beach problems,” honestly.
She explained: “Just to set the record straight… I lived in a beautiful Mediterranean mansion right across the street from Mar-a-Lago, and the only reason, or how, I would become a member at that young age was because the houses all came with a membership, it’s just funny.”
Speaking of President Trump, Hilary added: “Every house he gave a membership to, when he bought it, it was a lot of construction he had to do, so he wanted to keep the neighbours that he had.”
She would’ve been 40 at the time.
She still lives in West Palm Beach

Another thing Hilary has been crystal clear about? Where she lives.
Some people assumed she was trying to blur lines or exaggerate her ties to Palm Beach proper, but Hilary has said she never claimed otherwise. She moved to the area in 2005 and has lived in West Palm Beach, something she’s been upfront about from the start.
If you’re not local, the distinction might sound small, but in Palm Beach society, those labels carry weight. Still, Members Only isn’t really about zip codes. It’s about access, confidence, and knowing how to move within a rarefied social bubble!
