Private donors to President Donald Trump’s planned White House ballroom include tech giants like Amazon, Meta and Apple, as well as the family of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and the cofounders of the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, according to a list provided to PBS News.
The president has maintained that the multi-million-dollar project will be paid by private donations — and not by taxpayers. On Wednesday, Trump said the total cost of building the ballroom had ballooned to $300 million, a full $100 more than what was originally announced.
A White House official provided the list on Thursday of corporations and individuals that will contribute to the ballroom.
The list does not specify exact amounts pledged or paid by each donor, nor has the White House said how much Trump — who’s said he’ll personally use his own funds as well — plans to contribute.
