As the 2024 United States presidential election approaches, candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have secured notable endorsements from celebrities and billionaires alike.

The upcoming election, the 60th presidential election in the United States, is scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

Using data from the Federal Election Commission as of September, Bloomberg examined the contributions of individuals on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index to the Harris and Trump campaigns.

Trump leads the fundraising race, receiving at least $281 million from billionaire donors. In contrast, Harris has garnered at least $66.2 million from donors, including contributions rolled over from supporters of Joe Biden after he suspended his campaign.
