Apple and Nvidia each gave $25 million toward Trump’s White House ballroom, making them the largest tech donors to a project that has raised about $330 million privately, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post that the White House had refused to release. Google followed with $22 million, which came out of its 2025 settlement of Trump’s YouTube lawsuit, while Microsoft and Palantir gave $10 million each and Amazon, Meta, Coinbase, and Cisco gave $5 million each. The Post found that half the money came from federal contractors in Trump’s second term or from their executives. Nvidia said its gift was independent of any business interests, and Apple declined to comment.
