Bloomberg is wealthy enough to fund his own campaign. Forbes estimates his current net worth at $52.4 billion, dwarfing not only the value of Trump's real estate empire, but also the fortunes of Rupert Murdoch, Ted Turner and Sumner Redstone combined.

New York Entrepreneur and philanthropist-turned politician Michael Bloomberg has been called one of most successful New York mayors in the city's history.

Now the 77-year-old media mogul apparently wants to be president, too. He is preparing to file paperwork in Alabama to qualify for that state's presidential primary. He has one big supporter already--fellow billionaire businessman Leon Cooperman, an outspoken critic of leading Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren.Michael Bloomberg, the ultimate data guy, is ignoring the dataBloomberg is wealthy enough to fund his own campaign.

Bloomberg was a lousy mayor. Why should we vote for him?

That amount of wealth is so gross. While Flint doesn't have clean water and homelessness skyrocket and millions of Americans uninsured

He should do that, lol. One less billionaire, one more failed presidential contender.

But? Will he use his own money or like trump use USA treasury as a personal bank account?

Cancel billionaires

Quid Pro Quo!?

Money helps...folks in the south and midwest love slurpees and Guns. Lots of luck to a hater of both

And YOUR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DOESNT TAKE A PAYCHECK FOR HIS PRESIDENCY !!! Choke on that !

This Guy could win if he brings back the blue dog Democrats which is a dying bread. What they have know is a group that wants without contributing.

: No billionaire in our White House! We need a man that can relate to the average hard working Americans!

How about you buy out Fox News instead of running that would be better use of your time MikeBloomberg and more constructive for the country.

He will get at least 1% of the vote.

Can’t wait for the screaming and yelling to release his tax returns

The switch from I hate billionaires to I love them was seamless

Buy fox nuze and tell Hannity to hit the road Jack, I'd vote for you.

If he really wanted to help the country, he'd but Murdochs empire and shut it all down

that is just what we need ! omg who next . President Trump 2020 .

A real billionaire instead of a fake one.

Another white billionaire business man, not another one! We have one of those and he’s a POS !

BUT....there’s 1 problem...he’s a shady Democrat.

Feel the Bern

I often wonder how this idiot got so rich

Buy Fox News and bury it

In other words the rest of the candidates might as well drop out because that's who the party going to back.

Love how CNN trying to stir shut up by saying all day the dollar difference between the 2 men. Trump has one thing Bloomberg will never have. The Presidency.

I don't care if he's the richest person in the whole world Trump2020 TrumpLandslide2020 TrumpLovesAmerica

That amount of wealth is gross and absurd.

Will Democrats complain about too much money in politics?

He needs the donations of lower/middle class families though; just like trump's family of grifters needs the tax-payer dime to carry out democratic 'trips' to golf courses and overseas weddings.

ONLY PROBLEM IS HE IS A PIECE OF S••T

Not sure anyone cares. He can’t win a presidential election. He should run as a Republican.

And no one cares!

Welcome Bloomberg...

Interesting. A capitalist billionaire in a Socialist race. Get him into the debates ASAP. Maybe rather than taking everyone else's money he'll promise to give $50B to pass USMCA, immigration, health care & tax reform, infrastructure, balanced budget amendment, term limits & more!

The Democrat Party: old rich white men

This guy is a Republican in sheep’s clothing. I would never vote for him. I we don’t need another “billionaire” president who will give even more tax breaks to his rich friends.

same people from 2015 who bitched about Trump being a rich old white man are now popping boners over this schmuck

Warren thinks he has too much $$$

Bloomberg is a gun grabber. That should play well in Alabama !! 😆

Another establishment hack I hope he gets destroyed

Shock the world and reach out to John Kasich VP for D/R ticket and maybe everyone can get along for a few weeks!

If he really wanted to defeat trump he’d start buying ads for real candidates and ads attacking trump in every swing state.

Haha CNN has to make everything about Trump. He owns you!!!!!

Yang2020

And nobody cares

Money honey.

He’ll never be president like our glorious leader.

* dwarf hahaha Nice troll cnn

Why is he qualified because he has money.

Bernie gonna drag him

NO CHANCE!!

Billionaires' wealth falls for the first time in a decadeThe world's richest people became a little less well off last year, accordi... Please respect their privacy during this trying time Thoughts and prayers. Yet wealth inequality is more extreme than it has ever been, in particular in the US while class mobility has nearly entirely vanished. This is blatant apologia for those who have rigged systems (economic, political, social and otherwise) to advance their private ends. Shameful.
