America’s most successful entrepreneurs are not letting up in their competitions, whether it be the space race or the next tech breakthrough – but the 2024 presidential race is the latest billionaire battleground.
A number of high-profile billionaires have been outspoken and spending heavily in support of their respective chosen candidate, and they are split over whether former President Trump or Vice President Harris would make a better commander-in-chief.
Here are some of the big names backing each candidate:
BILLIONAIRE SAYS HE FEELS ‘SORRY’ FOR TIM WALZ IN POSTS REACTING TO VP DEBATE
ELON MUSK GIVES $75M TO PRO-TRUMP SUPER PAC, HITS ROAD IN PENNSYLVANIA
While some billionaires have used their voices and funds to support their choice this election season, other notable names have either remained mum or made it clear they will not be picking sides publicly.

While several billionaires have made headlines during the election cycle, most are more subtle about their views.
But according to Forbes, which tracks the moves and net worth of the world’s wealthiest people, Harris is favored by billionaires. The outlet said records show 83 billionaires are backing the Democrat, compared to 52 supporting Trump.
