According to The Washington Post’s analysis of Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings as of press time, the top 50 donors in the 2026 U.S. midterm election cycle have contributed a total of approximately $2.77 billion. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tops individual donors with around $446 million, setting a new record for individual political donations in modern U.S. history. His contributions primarily flow to Republican-aligned groups: his own America PAC ($216 million), Senate Leadership Fund ($168 million), and House Leadership Fund ($30 million). By party leanings, Republican-aligned donations total about $1.67 billion, Democratic-aligned around $832 million, and cross-party and special interest groups account for roughly $264 million. Crypto and tech-related contributors also rank among the top: a16z co-founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz combined for ~$92.2 million (including $23.8 million to Fairshake and $12 million to MAGA Inc.); Coinbase contributed ~$57.8 million (of which $52.5 million went to Fairshake); the Winklevoss brothers gave ~$55.9 million; Ripple donated ~$49.6 million (including $48 million to Fairshake); and crypto firm Foris Dax contributed ~$39 million. Other notable donors include former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who has donated ~$84.2 million this cycle (with roughly $60 million since September, mostly supporting House Democrats); and OpenAI CEO Greg Brockman and his wife, who combined for ~$50 million. The Washington Post notes that most funds flow to super PACs, which allow unlimited donations. The list will be updated as FEC filings are submitted.
