Washington Post reveals Apple and Nvidia ballroom pledges

Apple and Nvidia each committed twenty-five million dollars to the White House ballroom project, The Washington Post reported, citing internal fundraising records.

The report said the Adelson family and Dish Network chairman Charles Ergen also pledged twenty-five million dollars each. The list included twenty-two million from Google and twenty point two seven million from the Laura & Isaac Perlmutter Foundation.

Other listed commitments included ten million dollars each from Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, RHI II LLC and Palantir. Some donors are paying in installments.

White House spokesman Davis Ingle declined to discuss individual donations. He described contributors to the newspaper as companies and private individuals helping improve the residence.

Construction of the ballroom on the site of the White House’s East Wing began in twenty twenty-five. Donald Trump put the project’s cost at four hundred million dollars and said private donors and he himself would pay for it.
