Bretton Woods country club at 15700 River Road in Germantown is in the spotlight, after the New York Post reported that staffers for the International Monetary Fund and World Bank enjoy free enrollment there as a job perk. Employees of either institution have the $12,000-$20,000 initiation fee for membership waived at the expense of U.S. taxpayers, who provide the largest financial contributions to both agencies. Two members of the IMF sit on the club's board of directors, the Post revealed. 80% of the club's 1300 members are now staffers from the IMF or World Bank. The Post report suggested that the lavish perk could make the IMF and World Bank juicy targets for President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE spending-cut effort.
