We knew that a number of big tech firms were helping to fund the construction of Trump’s ballroom, but we didn’t know just how much they were giving to the cause. Now the Washington Post published a list of all the major donors to the White House ballroom project, along with how much each contributed. In total, Silicon Valley and the crypto industry have reportedly delivered over $150 million for the effort.

Some of that money has come from individuals, some from charitable organizations tied to major firms or industry players, and some directly from the companies themselves. In Google’s case, the $22 million was part of a controversial settlement reached in 2025. But the two biggest donors are Nvidia and Apple, which each gave $25 million to the project.

Here’s a partial list of major tech and crypto contributors to Tumps’ White House ballroom project:

• Apple $25 million
• Nvidia $25 million
• Google $22 million
• Palantir $10 million
• MS $10 million
• Comcast NBCUniversal $7.5 million
• Amazon $5 million
• Meta $5 million
• T-Mobile $5 million
• Cisco $5 million
• Coinbase $5 million
• David Baszucki (CEO of Roblox) $5 million

• ServiceNow $5 million
• Tyler & Cameron Winklevoss (Co-founders of Gemini crypto-exchange) $5.05 million
• HP $2.5 million
