Nvidia, Apple and the Adelson family each committed $25 million to President Donald Trump's planned White House ballroom, according to a Washington Post report published Thursday, October 15, 2026.
The project carries a $330 million price tag and has drawn support from major corporations, wealthy individuals and anonymous donors.
Trump himself does not appear on the disclosed donor list, despite previously pledging to cover part of the cost.
Anonymous Donors and Largest Contributions
The Washington Post reported that 57 companies gave at least $100,000 each to the project.
At least $77 million came from anonymous donors, leaving a substantial share of the ballroom's funding without publicly identified contributors.
Dish Network co-founder Charles Ergen was also identified as a contributor who committed $25 million, matching Nvidia, Apple and the Adelson family.
Google contributed $22 million as part of a settlement involving Trump's lawsuit against YouTube related to January 6.
The Laura & Isaac Perlmutter Foundation gave $20.27 million, with namesake Isaac Perlmutter formerly leading Marvel.
Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Palantir and RHI LLC each contributed $10 million, while Comcast gave $7.5 million.
Amazon, BlackRock, Cisco Systems, Caterpillar, Coinbase, Meta, T-Mobile, the Kelly Loeffler & Jeff Sprecher Fund, ServiceNow, Altria Group, ExtremityCare, the Baszucki Gift Fund, the Paul Singer Fund and the Jeff Yass DAF each contributed $5 million.
The Winklevoss twins contributed $5.1 million.
NextEra Energy gave $4 million.
Booz Allen Hamilton, Continental Resources, HP, Micron, Parsons Corporation, RAI Services Company, Union Pacific Railroad, Cantor Fitzgerald Chairman Brandon Lutnick and Vantive US Healthcare LLC each contributed $2.5 million.
Salesforce contributed $2 million, while Florida Crystals, Kraken and Vast Space each gave $1 million, according to the Washington Post's donor disclosures.
The report also detailed other financial connections between some contributors and Trump's political activities.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang pledged $1 billion to Trump's Genesis Mission artificial intelligence project earlier in October and attended a dinner at Mar-a-Lago priced at $1 million per plate.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella contributed $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund.
Google also donated $1 million to the inauguration fund, while Google co-founder Sergey Brin contributed $500,000 to the Republican National Committee in 2025.
The disclosed ballroom contributions therefore represent only part of the financial support some companies and executives have provided to Trump's political activities and administration-related initiatives, according to the Washington Post report.
