Bill Gates, Ken Griffin Among Billionaire Donors To President Biden’s Inaugural Committee
Date: May 07, 2021 11:56PM

At least 18 billionaires donated to President Joe Biden’s inaugural committee, according to a report filed with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday.

Most of the inaugural committee’s richest donors had given large sums to Biden’s campaign and supporting committees in the months leading up to his election last November. But there were a few fresh faces.

Among them: Bill and Melinda Gates, who gave a combined $500,000. Republican megadonor and Citadel hedge fund titan Ken Griffin also gave $500,000 to the inaugural committee, more than the $100,000 he gave to Donald Trump’s inaugural committee in 2017. Ahead of the 2020 election, Griffin was one of the largest political donors in the country, pouring more than $45 million into super-PACs supporting Republicans in Congress. Hearing aid billionaire Bill Austin, who with his wife gave $1 million to a Trump joint fundraising committee in 2020, donated $100,000 to Biden’s inaugural committee.

The largest gifts came from corporations such as Pfizer, AT&T, Uber and Boeing, which each made $1 million contributions. Biden’s largest individual donors include venture capitalist Chris Sacca, who gave $1 million with his wife, and media mogul Haim Saban, who gave $500,000.

In total, Biden’s inaugural committee raised about $61 million for the event, $46 million less than Trump raised four years earlier. Biden’s inauguration was scaled down, given that it happened in the middle of the pandemic.

People who gave $500,000 to the inaugural committee were told they would receive some special perks, such as an invitation to receive virtual signed photos with Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and VIP tickets to a future in-person event, according to a document obtained by the New York Times in December.

Here are the other billionaire donors Forbes found, according to the FEC report:

Laurene Powell Jobs, gave $256,100 *
Arthur Blank, gave $250,000
Amy Goldman Fowler, gave $250,000
Jonathan Gray, gave $250,000
John and Ann Doerr, gave $250,000
Chris Larsen, gave $200,000
Thomas Tull, gave $197,900 *
Neil Bluhm, gave $100,000
James Chambers, gave $100,000
Penny Pritzker, gave $100,000
Lukas Walton, gave $100,000

* contribution listed as “in-kind travel”

I contributed to Biden's inaugural fund. I have contributed to the inaugural fund of every president except Trump starting in 1989. Not on the same level as those guys above. I also contribute to political campaigns. Always individual candidates, not to PACs or parties. It is what you do if you reach certain levels or are in certain lines of business.
