Bloomberg boss has spent nearly $100 million backing Harris

Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York and owner of Bloomberg, recently donated $50 million to a nonprofit organization supporting Democratic presidential candidate Harris, according to the New York Times, citing multiple people familiar with the matter. Bloomberg's latest donation went to nonprofit Future Forward USA Action, according to people familiar with the matter. Before the anonymous donation, he had already given $47 million in public political donations to the Democratic Party, second only to George Soros among all Democratic donors. Bloomberg spent $95 million helping the Democratic Party in the 2018 midterm elections. Forbes data shows that the 82-year-old Bloomberg is worth the same as Bill Gates, about $105 billion.
