While he may not have had record-breaking crowds at his inauguration, President Trump raked in far more cash than any president to spend on the festivities surrounding his swearing in to office. Trump’s inaugural committee collected $106.7 million in donations, eclipsing the previous record of $55 million set by Barack Obama for his first inauguration.
Plenty of everyday Trump supporters sent in sums of $50 or $100 to fund the celebrations, according to a 510-page filing by the inaugural committee. Nearly half of the total came from donations of $1 million or more from major corporations or individual billionaires.
The committee didn’t disclose how much of the money was spent on the inauguration and how much was left over. It doesn’t have to publicly state how the money was spent. Officials of the inaugural committee reportedly said that leftover funds will go to charities, although none were specified. Obama used leftover money to pay for the White House Easter egg roll and other events during his first term.

The largest donation to Trump’s inauguration came from Sheldon Adelson, the founder, chairman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands Corp., who gave $5 million.
AT&T was the second-largest donor to the inaugural committee, pitching in a curious amount: $2,082,483.43. At the time, the telecommunications company was in the middle of an $85.4 billion acquisition of Time Warner Inc. and was awaiting to find out whether the deal would require review by the Federal Communications Commission. In February, the FCC said it didn’t expect to review the transaction.
Plenty of individuals and companies donated $100,000 or more to the inauguration committee. Oil companies Citgo Petroleum Corp., Exxon, BP and Chevron all contributed at least a half-million dollars. Avenue Ventures, an asset management company, put up $900,000, while Quicken Loans donated $750,000. Tech giants Intel, Microsoft and Google all made sizeable contributions of a half-million or more as well.
