Apple, Nvidia lead list of tech companies that donated to Trump’s White House ballroom project

Some of the world's biggest tech companies donated tens of millions of dollars for the construction of President Donald Trump's White House ballroom — and now we know exactly how much money they gave to the White House, too.

According to a new report from the Washington Post, Apple and Nvidia topped the list of donors to Trump's ballroom project, giving $25 million each for the president's pet project. The two tech companies were among the top four donors overall, alongside the Adelson Family Foundation and Charles Ergen, the co-founder of Dish Network.

However, Apple and Nvidia were far from the only tech companies to make massive donations for the ballroom.

Google provided $22 million, via a settlement the company made with Trump related to the shutdown of his YouTube channel following the events of Jan. 6, as Mashable reported previously.

Microsoft donated $10 million, and Palantir was right behind them with a near $10 million donation of their own.

A number of cryptocurrency companies like Coinbase, Ripple, and the Winklevoss twins, who represent their Gemini crypto exchange, also donated $5 million. Crypto exchange Kraken donated $1 million.

HP and Micron each gave the president $2.5 million and Salesforce donated $2 million.

Non-tech companies like defense contractors and the former CEO of Marvel's foundation also gave tens of millions of dollars to the ballroom project.
