Three billionaires donated more than $220 million to Trump’s election bid

While Elon Musk’s support for Donald Trump’s election campaign has caused quite a stir, we now know how much he has contributed so far to elect Trump. What’s more, we discover the names of two other major donors who have also opened their wallets to support Trump in this election.

Together, they have contributed no less than $220 million in the space of three months to re-elect the former president!

In addition to the information favoring Trump that he widely disseminates on his X platform (formerly Twitter), billionaire Elon Musk has already donated $75 million to a pro-Trump super PAC that he helped found when he announced his support for Trump over the summer.

This super PAC aims to mobilize voters in key states.

But we learn that two other billionaires have joined him in the flow of funds to pro-Trump super PACs, according to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission covering the three months ending on the last day of September.

Miriam Adelson, widow of billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who dies in 2021 and founder of a casino and hotel empire, has also invested $95 million in the Preserve America group, which supports the former president, over the past three months.

She has thus contributed a total of $100 million in donations to this super PAC in this 2024 election cycle.

Finally, a little more discreet but still very generous with his funding, billionaire Richard Uihlein, co-founder of shipping company ULINE, has donated $49 million to the Restoration PAC group over the past three months, bringing his total contribution to $59 million for this election cycle.
