Nvidia, Apple Among Major Donors to Trump’s $400 Million White House Ballroom Project
US President Donald Trump's planned $400 million White House ballroom project has raised $333 million in private donations, including $25 million each from Nvidia, Apple, the Adelson family, and Dish Network's Charles Ergen. The White House has not publicly disclosed the full donor list, citing a broad range of contributors. Critics question transparency and potential donor influence, while the administration defends the fundraising as necessary and independent of business interests. Construction continues amid legal challenges and Supreme Court approval.
