The individual principal gift is US$1 million and the corporate principal gift US$2 million, following vetting when instructed.

Whether the program charges an additional amount per family member, and how it treats children who are close to 21, are questions the official FAQ addresses and which should be read at the time of application rather than assumed from summaries. Budget separately for professional, tax, medical and other official charges, and do not treat gifted money and invested capital as equivalent merely because their headline amounts can be compared. Budget separately for any government payment, legal advice, taxes, document collection, currency conversion, and relocation costs, and mark each item as confirmed or provisional. No private invoice turns a nomination into an award or establishes immigration eligibility; the government commitments remain governed by the official terms. Compare this honestly with EB-5, where the capital is invested rather than given, must remain at risk for the applicable sustainment period and satisfy the job requirement, and cannot be guaranteed to return.
