Marjorie Taylor Greene Asks Followers to Send Beer Money to Her Son via Venmo in Odd X Post
In a surprising twist, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) took to her X account to ask her followers for a rather unconventional birthday gift for her son. On Saturday, she posted a message urging her fans to send beer money for her son’s 22nd birthday, declaring, “It’s my baby boy’s birthday!! He’s 22!! I love him so much! Buy him a beer!”
This post, however, was short-lived, as it was deleted just minutes after being shared. Fortunately for the curious, several reporters managed to capture screenshots before it vanished into the digital ether.
The authenticity of the post has raised eyebrows, with questions swirling around whether Greene herself actually made the request or if someone else accessed her account to solicit funds for her son without her knowledge. After the post was removed, Greene, 50, did not follow up with any birthday wishes for her son, which only added to the intrigue.
Interestingly, Greene's financial status is quite notable, with estimates placing her net worth at around $22 million, according to Quiver Quantitative, a platform that analyzes stock data to gauge the wealth of politicians. This fact did not go unnoticed by critics, who quickly pointed out the irony of a wealthy congresswoman asking her supporters for money for her son.
“Marjorie Taylor Greene, a sitting member of Congress who is worth many millions of dollars, posted a birthday message for her son—along with a link to his Venmo account, encouraging her supporters to send him money,” journalist Yashar Ali remarked on X. He further emphasized the timing of this request, noting it comes amid significant economic uncertainty in the United States.

Greene's post could also attract scrutiny from ethics watchdogs. While it was made on her personal account, House ethics rules impose strict limitations on members soliciting gifts. According to the House Ethics Committee, “A Member, officer, or employee may not ask for a gift for themselves or someone else, even if they could otherwise accept it under a Gift Rule exception.”

This isn’t the first time a member of Congress has faced backlash for attempting to leverage their public persona for personal gain. Last year, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Col.) briefly launched a Cameo page, allowing fans to purchase personalized video messages from her. However, she quickly took it down amid ethical concerns.
As for Greene's son, Derek, his Venmo account was set to private, leaving it unclear how much money he might have received from the unusual birthday request. Interestingly, records indicate that Derek's actual birthday falls in April, raising further questions about the timing of Greene's post.
