Nvidia, Apple Among Donors to Trump’s $400 Million White House Ballroom Project
Nvidia and Apple each pledged $25 million toward President Donald Trump's planned $400 million White House ballroom, part of $333 million raised from private donors, including the Adelson family and Dish Network's Charles Ergen. The White House declined to disclose full donor details, citing a broad range of American companies. Critics question transparency and potential donor influence, while Trump frames the project as a national security necessity. Construction continues despite legal challenges and Supreme Court approval to proceed.
