While many have accused the Trump administration of exaggerating the number of people who attended Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, there’s no disputing the fact that his inaugural committee raised a huge amount for the event - $106.7 million. It takes a lot of donations and a lot of BIG DONATIONS to reach that figure.

MILLION-DOLLAR CLUB.    This past week, Trump’s inaugural organizers published a 510-page listing of donors.  This list includes nearly 50 people or corporations who contributed $1 million or more – several of whom come from the world of financial services. Here’s a sampling:

• Steven A. Cohen, who now runs family office Point72 Asset Management;
• Howard Lutnick, CEO of0 Cantor Fitzgerald;
• Charles Schwab, founder of the discount broker;
• Scott Bessent, former CIO of Soros Fund Management;
• Henry Kravis, co-founder of KKR;
• Robert Mercer, hedge-fund investor and conservative donor;
• Marlene Ricketts, whose husband, Joe Ricketts founded TD Ameritrade;
• Bank of America.

Owners of the sports franchises - like the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, L.A. Rams, New England Patriots and Washington Redskins - each contributed $1 million. Tampa Bay Buccaneers co-chairman Ed Glazer added $250,000. And Madison Square Garden donated $1 million.
