Some of the world’s biggest companies — including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Lockheed Martin, Coinbase, Comcast, and Meta Platforms — have made donations toward the construction of President Donald Trump’s proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom, according to a statement released by the White House.
President Trump has emphasized that the ballroom project is entirely privately funded, assuring the public that no taxpayer money will be used. He revealed on Wednesday that the project’s cost is expected to be around $300 million, up from an earlier estimate of $200 million.
Trump described the initiative as a “world-class venue” meant for official state functions, high-level meetings, and major diplomatic events.
Major corporate contributors include Apple, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Google, Coinbase, Meta, and Comcast, alongside other industry leaders such as Caterpillar, Palantir Technologies, and T-Mobile.
Prominent individual donors also feature on the White House list, including:
- Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, co-founders of cryptocurrency exchange Gemini
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and the Lutnick family
- The Adelson family, long-time Republican supporters
- Stephen A. Schwarzman, CEO of Blackstone
- Harold Hamm, founder of Continental Resources
- Edward and Shari Glazer, owners of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Adelson Family Foundation is among the largest donors. Trump previously awarded Miriam Adelson, a prominent Republican philanthropist, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018.
Other listed donors include:
Altria Group, Booz Allen Hamilton, HP Inc., Micron Technology, NextEra Energy, Ripple, Reynolds American, Union Pacific Railroad, The Betty Wold Johnson Foundation, The Laura & Isaac Perlmutter Foundation, Kelly Loeffler and Jeff Sprecher, Paolo Tiramani, Stefan E. Brodie, Konstantin Sokolov, and Benjamin Leon Jr.
The Trump Administration has described the project as part of the President’s vision to “modernize and elevate the prestige of the American executive residence,” with construction expected to begin later this year.
