A list circulating online that allegedly identifies members of the private Bohemian Club has drawn attention after naming a number of well-known entertainers and public figures among the organization’s purported 2023 membership.
The document, said to contain approximately 2,200 names, was published by independent journalist Daniel Boguslaw and later referenced by the San Francisco Standard, which reported that another alleged member confirmed the authenticity of the list.
The roster, if accurate, offers a rare glimpse into one of the most exclusive and historically private organizations in the United States.
Boguslaw said he obtained the document from a source believed to be a member of the club.
“I went to this person’s office for a week straight,” Boguslaw told the outlet while describing how he obtained the list.
The document reportedly includes numerous public figures from entertainment, music and business.
Among the actors and television personalities named are Paul Newman, Conan O’Brien, Chris O’Donnell, James Belushi and Michael Nouri.
Newman’s appearance on the list has drawn particular attention because the actor died in 2008, raising the possibility that the roster includes historical members or legacy affiliations.
The list also identifies several musicians, including Clint Black, Eric Church, Jimmy Buffett and Mickey Hart.
The Bohemian Club itself has long been associated with an elite network of business leaders, politicians and cultural figures who participate in private events and gatherings.
The organization is headquartered in San Francisco and holds annual retreats at the Bohemian Grove, a secluded 2,700-acre property in Sonoma County, according to reporting by the New York Post.
Each summer, the club hosts a two-week encampment at the grove that brings together members and invited guests for private meetings, performances and social events.
According to historical accounts, the Bohemian Club was founded in San Francisco in 1872 by a group of journalists, artists and musicians who wanted a place to gather and celebrate the arts.
Over time, the organization expanded beyond its original cultural focus and began attracting influential business leaders, politicians and public figures.
The annual encampment at Bohemian Grove reportedly began in the late 19th century and evolved into the modern retreat that continues today.
Despite the circulation of the alleged membership list, a spokesperson for the Bohemian Club told the San Francisco Standard that the organization does not maintain publicly accessible membership rosters due to its longstanding emphasis on privacy.
Because the club rarely discloses internal records, the authenticity and full context of the leaked list remain difficult to independently verify.
Still, the appearance of well-known entertainers alongside business and political figures has renewed public curiosity about the private organization and the networks of influence associated with its gatherings.
