Billionaire MAGA Donors Repress Democracy in America

The political slogan “Make America Great Again” was originally used by Ronald Reagan in his presidential campaigns of the 1980s. Bill Clinton used it in his first presidential bid in 1992. The slogan has now been fully appropriated by President Donald Trump and is the legal name of his Political Action Committee (PAC). Make America Great Again (MAGA Inc.) was founded in 2022 to support Trump. It is a super PAC that can raise unlimited funds from private donors and spend it freely to support him and his agendas.

MAGA Inc., lists it core policy positions as:

+ Border Security: Enforcing strict immigration controls, completing the southern border wall, and carrying out mass deportation initiatives.

+ Economic Agenda: Cutting government regulations, promoting domestic energy production, lowering inflation, and utilizing tariffs to protect American manufacturing.

+ Foreign Policy: Pursuing an “America First” approach that questions foreign entanglements and prioritizes domestic interests.

+ Government Reform: Opposing what the movement terms the “weaponization” of federal agencies and pushing to downsize the federal bureaucracy.

MAGA Inc., organizational focus is listed as:

+ Electoral Support: Deploying its massive financial war chest to back Trump-aligned candidates in primary and general elections.

+ Messaging: Directly contrasting conservative economic and security policies against opposing Democratic platforms.

Ninety-two percent of MAGA’s funds were raised through donors who gave one million or more. Sixty-two percent was raised from donors who give over $5 million. The following list of 61 MAGA individual donors are those who gave $1 million dollars or more. Collectively, they gave $368 million to Trump’s MAGA Inc. In July of 2026, MAGA Inc reported having raised over $400 million since 2022. Fifty-five of the million-dollar donors are billionaires. Six hold individual fortunes from $6 to $521 million dollars. Collectively, they have over $1.460 trillion dollars in net worth. MAGA million-dollar donors live all over the US with clusters in New York (7), the Los Angeles area (7), and Florida (12). Fifty-eight are ethnically White, two are Hispanic and one was born in India.

Knowing the identities of the rich donors supporting Donald Trump’s MAGA agenda is important for American Democracy. We all need to fully read and comprehend the names herein. In supporting Trump, these individuals are using their wealth to undermine democracy by restricting freedom of voting, residency, immigration, international relations, education and the use of wind/solar energy. They are undermining our constitutional rights of free speech, privacy, voting rights, civil rights, and the rule of law, in both domestic and international areas, and the role of the United Nations in the world. The MAGA donors are the foundation of a 21st century American oligarchy.

The following 61 people are the core of Trump’s MAGA Inc. funding. They are all very rich, with more than 90 percent being billionaires. They are using their money to support the repression of democracy in America and to accelerate wealth concentration. Wealth inequality is already the most unequal in US history and increasing rapidly. It is time to reverse this trend by using democratically determined laws to limit wealth through aggressive taxation and strict limits. Only then can we use a portion of their wealth to eliminate extreme poverty in the world and allow all people to live with dignity, health and adequate nutrition. The time is now to openly challenge these rich individuals who are selfishly controlling billions by voting against their candidates and promoting restrictions on their wealth. Power to the People.
