40 of the richest donors funneling money to Donald Trump: Elon Musk, Steve Schwarzman, and more

Donald Trump has seen an influx in billionaire backers, including from Silicon Valley.Getty ImagesAs the 2024 race heats up, Trump has gained support from billionaires and wealthy business leaders.Elon Musk and a handful of Silicon Valley elite are among those rallying around the former president.Here are some of Trump's richest donors and how much they've contributed to the 2024 campaign.As former President Donald Trump seeks a second term in the White House, he's increasingly turning to billionaires to power his campaign.Some of them are longtime associates and supporters — true believers who know the former president from his days in the business world — while others are relative newcomers, such as longtime GOP megadonors who backed his 2024 rivals or even previously supported Democrats.The backers represent diverse industries, from traditional red-state oil titans like Harold Hamm to formerly left-leaning Silicon Valley elite like Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen.Each lists different reasons for their choice: Some take issue with Kamala Harris' tax plans, while others prefer Trump's tough stance on immigration."I share the concern of most Americans that our economic, immigration and foreign policies are taking the country in the wrong direction. For these reasons, I am planning to vote for change and support Donald Trump for President," Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman said in a statement to Axios.In 2022, the finance billionaire had said he would not support Trump in the primary and called on "the Republican Party to turn to a new generation of leaders."Here are some of the richest and most notable billionaires contributing to Trump's 2024 campaign, including to his "Trump 47" joint fundraising committee, which splits proceeds between the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee, and the MAGA Inc. super PAC.Elon MuskElon Musk endorsed Trump in July.Steve Granitz/FilmMagic via Getty ImagesElon Musk, the richest man in the world with a net worth of $271.8 billion, per Forbes, endorsed Trump in July following the assassination attempt on the former president. To date, he has spent more than $130 million on Trump and the GOP this year, nearly $119 million of which has gone to his pro-Trump "America PAC."America PAC has garnered support from others in Silicon Valley and captured the public's attention — in the final stretch of the election, Musk is offering $1 million to registered swing state voters who sign a petition affiliated with the PAC. Senators have called on the Department of Justice to investigate the legality of the move.Musk has never been a major political donor before, though he has ramped up his rhetoric in recent years. He's appeared with Trump at rallies and town halls, making himself a fixture of the campaign in a way few private sector giants have before.Steve SchwarzmanSteve Schwarzman is one of the richest billionaries to back former president Donald Trump.CARLOS BARRIA/Getty ImagesBlackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman seemed to rebuke Trump following the 2022 midterm elections when he said the Republican Party needed "a new generation of leaders."But in May, he said he will vote for the former president in November. Axios, which first published the news, reported that he will donate to Trump. In 2020, Schwarzman, who is worth $50.1 billion, per Forbes, contributed millions to his reelection campaign."The dramatic rise of antisemitism has led me to focus on the consequences of upcoming elections with greater urgency," he said in his statement.A long-term Republican donor and powerful influence on Wall Street, Schwarzman has thus far donated $419,600 to the Trump 47 Committee and millions to PACS focused on electing Republicans to Congress.Miriam AdelsonMiriam Adelson — who, with her husband Sheldon, was Donald Trump's biggest donor in 2020 — will be backing him again in 2024.MANDEL NGAN/Getty ImagesMiriam Adelson — the widow of casino mogul Sheldon Adelson who received a Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump — has officially announced she would once again back the former president — a coup for his campaign finances.Her endorsement comes with quite a bit of cash: Adelson, whose net worth stands at $35.4 billion, according to Forbes, is bringing back her Preserve America super PAC and is reportedly planning to donate at least $90 million to reelect Trump.

She has donated $15 million to the MAGA Inc. super PAC this cycle and $844,600 to the Trump 47 Committee.Harold HammHarold Hamm's endorsement comes down to one thing: oil.Riccardo Savi/Getty Images for Concordia SummitHarold Hamm, an oil and gas magnate worth $18.5 billion, per Forbes, has contributed $614,000 to the Trump 47 Committee and $200,000 to the Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. super PAC.Like several other billionaire donors, Hamm wasn't always convinced Trump was the right man for 2024. He contributed thousands to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Ambassador Nikki Haley in the primaries.It's even been reported that he told Trump to end his presidential campaign last year, citing the "chaos" the former president caused.Hamm's support may give some insight into how Trump is doing with oil and gas money, which he has been courting for months."Republican, Democrat… I'm an oilocrat," he told the Financial Times in 2022.Andrew BealThe Texas-based banker Andrew Beal is worth $12 billion, according to Forbes. He's spent at least $1.8 million on Trump-aligned groups in 2024, but his support is years old. The two men are reportedly friends, despite previous business disagreements.In 2016, Beal formed a PAC, Save American From Its Government, supporting Trump's initial run for the White House. The group spent money on newspaper advertisements in swing states. He funded the PAC with an initial $2 million."I have a lot of money and would spent it to make it a better country," Beal told Forbes at the time.

He's also donated $1 million to the America PAC and hundreds of thousands to the Republican National Committee.In 2020, Leone donated about $700,000 to Trump's reelection campaign."I have become increasingly concerned about the general direction of our country, the state of our broken immigration system, the ballooning deficit, and the foreign policy missteps, among other issues," he wrote on X. "Therefore, I am supporting former President Trump in this coming election."Leone represents a growing Silicon Valley sect that has turned to the former president.

As you know, Islam cannot do that," Ricketts wrote in one 2012 email. "Therefore we cannot ever let Islam become a large part of our society. Muslims are naturally my (our) enemy due to their deep antagonism and bias against non-Muslims."Last year, one of Ricketts' sons — former Nebraska Gov.
