The White House has released a list of donors who contributed to President Donald Trump’s new ballroom, amid a backlash over the demolition of the decades-old East Wing to make way for the project.
Wealthy individuals, tech companies and other corporations are among the more than 30 donors to have contributed to the planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom, which is now estimated to cost $300 million, according to the White House.
The donations are being managed by the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit that helps manage federal projects.
Here’s the list of donors shared by the White House:
1. Altria Group
2. Amazon (Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post.)
3. Apple
4. Booz Allen Hamilton
5. Caterpillar
6. Coinbase
7. Comcast Corporation
8. Hard Rock International
