The Washington Post claims to have the goods on who's chipped in a total of $330 million for the controversial White House demolition and ballroom project. Apple is said to have donated $25 million, as has Nvidia. Microsoft is in for $10 million, and so is Lockheed Martin. The White House declined comment on individual donors.…
An internal spreadsheet used to track donations for President Donald Trump's White House ballroom project has revealed the identities of major contributors, including several tech giants. Apple and Nvidia each committed $25 million, the highest individual contributions, while the Adelson family, Charles Ergen, and other billionaires followed suit.
The list, obtained by The Washington Post, details 67 donations above $10,000, totaling $333 million from private donors. Notably, at least $77 million came from donors who requested anonymity. The White House publicly acknowledged 37 donors last October, but did not disclose the amounts. The project, comprised of previously undisclosed contributors, has been criticized for its potential corruption, and the author asserts that the entire structure should be demolished.
