"The White House released a list of 37 donors, including crypto billionaires, charitable organizations, sports team owners, powerful financiers, tech and tobacco giants, media companies, longtime supporters of Republican causes and several of the president's neighbors in Palm Beach, Florida. It's incomplete. Among others, the list doesn't include Carrier Group, which offered to donate an HVAC system for the ballroom, and artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia, whose CEO, Jensen Huang, publicly discussed its donation."
"The White House hasn't said how much each donor is giving, and almost none was willing to divulge that. Very few commented on their contributions when contacted by The Associated Press. A senior White House official said the list has grown since it was first released in October, but some companies don't want to be publicly named until required to do so by financial disclosure regulations."
President Donald Trump says his $300 million White House ballroom will be paid for fully by him and private donors. A disclosed list names 37 donors including crypto billionaires, charities, sports team owners, financiers, tech and tobacco companies, media firms, longtime GOP supporters and Palm Beach neighbors. The list omits some pledges, such as Carrier Group's offered HVAC system and Nvidia's donation discussed by its CEO. The White House has not disclosed donation amounts and most donors declined to specify contributions. A senior official said the list grew since October and no foreign donors were included.
