In a surprising revelation, a purported membership list from an exclusive and highly secretive men’s club in California’s wine country has surfaced. Among the notable names allegedly included are former late-night host Conan O’Brien, billionaire and ex-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, along with ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

This list pertains to Bohemian Grove, a private enclave sprawling across 2,700 acres in Sonoma County. Known for its annual two-week retreat and a San Francisco clubhouse, the list was reportedly acquired by an independent journalist and verified by a member of the club, as reported by the San Francisco Standard.

The 2023 membership roster boasts more than 2,000 influential figures from the realms of business, technology, and finance. Members are organized into distinct “camps,” reminiscent of fraternity structures.

Renowned for its “Cremation of Care” ceremony and elite networking opportunities, the club has long been rumored to serve as a social gathering point for the powerful.

Additional figures allegedly on the list include Paul Pelosi, husband of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, the late musician Jimmy Buffett, and billionaire political contributor Charles Koch.

Despite these claims, a spokesperson for the Bohemian Club insists that no official member lists are maintained, emphasizing the clandestine nature of the organization.

Independent journalist Daniel Boguslaw got his hands on the alleged list by hounding a Bay Area-based member for weeks and published the names Wednesday.

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was also apparently member for a long time, and others like legendary actor/director Clint Eastwood and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas are rumored to be frequent guests.
