Overview

• The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee raised $239 million, more than double his 2017 total and quadruple Biden’s 2021 inauguration fundraising.
• Pilgrim’s Pride was the largest single donor, contributing $5 million, followed by Ripple Labs with $4.9 million and Robinhood with $2 million.
• Corporate giants like Amazon, Meta, and JPMorgan Chase each donated at least $1 million, alongside significant contributions from cryptocurrency and tech firms.
• Several top donors, including Warren Stephens and Jared Isaacman, were later nominated for key administration roles, raising concerns about donor influence.
• Surplus funds from the record-breaking haul are reportedly intended for Trump’s presidential library and aligned charities, prompting calls for stricter financial disclosure laws for inaugural committees.
