Billionaire Michael Bloomberg invested a staggering $935 million of his personal fortune through February into his short-lived bid for the Democratic presidential nomination — a campaign that saw him win just a single contest

In February alone, the media and business data tycoon donated nearly $471.6 million to his campaign, as he spent heavily on advertising ahead of Super Tuesday contests in early March, according a filing with the Federal Election Commission. Bloomberg suspended his campaign earlier this month.The campaign reported spending $875 million through the end of February.Bloomberg suspended his presidential bid on March 4, after winning only the US territory of American Samoa.

Bloomberg had considered launching his own independent effort to help Democrats and oppose Trump but would have faced restrictions on coordinating his activity with the party's eventual nominee.After Bloomberg's Super Tuesday losses, Trump criticized the former New York mayor on Twitter, writing that his"consultants took him for a ride ... $700 million washed down the drain.

Hope he continues to support Joe Biden.

He had better go to the Bordell, so he would have had something for his money.

Imagine if he put that money into helping the hospitals fight the Corona Virus!

How much has he given to healthcare workers or for medical supplies ...?

SandraLil7 He was robbed!

If only I was worth just a fraction of it I'm sure I would be a happy African

Tax deductionable ?

He basically pumped all that money back into our economy - good for him 🦅🇺🇸✊

Tax deductible

At least he got the word out and he tried

And he's still not paying his staffers. He led too. Must bee the $$ in his eyes.

'Demon'crats cheat, say it ain't so.

I, for one, know who he is now and all the good he is doing to help us get Trump out! Thank you, MikeBloomberg!!

Fuck him

Honestly, who cares. It was his own money. Not taxpayer dollars or donations. It’s his so technically he can do with it as he pleases. Maybe it would be nice for him to have spent that much on some other cause, but you can say that for all millionaires/billionaires/wealthy.

This proves that even stupid people can get rich years ago. He has to be the easiest mark in the works because his team was telling him he had a chance and he would pay them to spend his money ... how stupid is that? CNN has many bad hosts and now stuoid guests

That's about $5.50 per American household. Enough to buy a Little Caesar's pizza. On Uncle Mike. That would have bought some goodwill. 😃

he ain’t got not charisma

I applaud him.

That’s fuck me money

I dont know why the democrat brings knives to a gun fight.

Wonder how many tiny houses he could have built for the homeless?

What a waste that you have so much money- $935 million wasted on your so called campaign!! You could have helped so many poor Americans! You, MikeBloomberg are really the poorest person I have ever seen!!! You ARE Mini Mike in mind, body and soul!!! TrumpIsRightAgain

bloomberg spent $935 million oh his hate for trump bloomberg has spent $0 on helping america fight this virus

Pathetic use of $ too bad! Could have done a lot more good

Money wasted! Should have been spent on fighting this virus!

When one of the world's leading investor fails at investing... sad

dude just made history :)

Tax write off

Because he’s an idiot, mange how many people that money would feed or help in this crisis

Instead of squandering put another billion to where it matters

should have gotten help from Russia! apparently, they got Trump elected with only about $160K worth of server farms and twatter ads. Unless that was fake news....🤣🤣🤣

Such a waste of money.. Instead of this , he could have donated this money to so many much more useful places or families who are in need.

realDonaldTrump LindseyGrahamSC senatemajldr SenateGOP GOP IngrahamAngle seanhannity marklevinshow Michael Bloomberg must help people who lost their jobs,sick&need to survive. Not wasting his money for Democrats campaign.

primaries n elections are very costly that is why reps n senators are corrupt as they need big campaign donations Many stay in d senate for decades

He is not very experienced.

Someone ripped him off

Old news

MikeBloomberg best part is entire world got to see truly how awful this individual truly is ✌️

So what. It's his money.

CNN fake news!

Wow...$935 million USD just flushed down toilet! Imagine how many families can be lifted out of poverty! A legacy millions ppl will cherish for generations to come!

Wow!!! That’s 935 million people in the United States that could have gotten a million dollars.

So what? Why is that important to you at this time?

Just imagine how many role could have been helped with that $$. Unbelievable.

He spent almost US$ 1 Billion to defeat Trump, not to become potus... fixed it for you.

Where is he now HouseDemocrats RepJeffries KamalaHarris CoryBooker SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi JoeBiden RepAdamSchiff RepJerryNadler amyklobuchar u got him impeached then u let his Republican buddies get him off now u see he cannot lead.

Oh what I could have done with that money. SMH.

I heard he donated to Africa recently for the C-virus 👿

Atleast it wasn’t taxpayers money being frivolously directed at enriching pockets of already rich unlike the POS in chief and SenateGOP trying to make fortune out of this crisis.

Plus fired all his staffers he promised to keep. Bloomberg a fraud , carpetbagger and sociopath. During his tenure as Mayor if NYC including the illegal third term that he bought Bloomberg increased his wealth 4 times over. He only cares about his reflection in the mirror

He'll probably write it off

And how much is Bloomberg business media spending on bashing the republicans? He is actually succeeding in that front - at the expense of ordinary people

Once again too too too much money in politics !!!👎👎👎👎 Hopefully he may want to help rewrite laws.

Probably a good thing for him. Now he can quietly go into an expensive underground bunker, and wait out the massive coronavirus outbreak that wipes out millions of people.

I could use a measly million.

He proved how you can buy an election.

And how much for the coronavirus ?

I’d argue his goal was 2-fold. And he succeeded in weakening Sanders who was the odds on favorite to win when he entered.

Just think what that billion could have done for the city he claims to love right now.

I think he is wonderful and every democrat should be grateful for his contributions to the cause of defeating trump. VoteBlueNoMatterWho

Sad! He could of helped so many people with that CASH! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😫😫😫😫

He had the time of his life. If he had entered the race sooner, he might have won.

Mini Mike could have feed the poor and needy with that money.

He is a loser in my eyes ! Could have done so much especially to the homeless....

So what. His loss. Better his $ than mine

How many millions did he spend with CNN?

The only failure in life is not trying? 🤷🏻‍♂️

And Think we could have used that wasted money for good DemocratsTheEnemyWithin

bloombergmakeithappen. Quickly find a company and put money into it to make mask starting immediately. You want to really help the country? Lets see your true colors. Hopefully you demonstrate you management expertise

I need $30,000 to further my education. Please help me

CNN...ENOUGH! 🤬 We have bigger problems than this!

This is why billionairesshouldnotexist

He could have used that wasted fortune on helping unemployed Americans...

I would of voted for him!

Could’ve done some really good with that $ now. Hubris on full display.

Just donate all his money and shoot him into the sun

How much has he committed to helping fight the Chinese Virus outbreak Useless POS

That hold us all over till the virus is gone and he still be rich how many more folks like that in this country

So what!!!

Greed an

And let not forget that and the rest of the mainstream media were the ones who pumped his hope up, as soon you saw that he was not the one to replace Biden against Bernie you helped to kill his presidential bid, you guys came back to Biden but he's missing during a crisis.

I can think of a few better places to spend that kind of money.... ventilators perhaps? PPE for medical teams? Meals for homeless and vulnerable families/people?

He tried now ask him to fork over a billion to help all of us along with every billionaire in the states. Including buffet and all his buddies. And if trump was smart ? With all is billions he should give 500 million plus ASAP than he gets my vote and most Americans 👍

Tonto

You americans waste money for nonsense - how much help you could have done for this money.....

Looking forward to his new book, “How I spent $935,000,000 only to find out nobody likes me.”

MikeBloomberg would you please spend the same on donation for personal protective equipment manufacturing for those on the front lines saving lives? Or starting charities, counseling, & organizations to take care of our heroes who are still out there taking care of the rest?

So much money spent on politics and now many dying of deficiency in the health system

Thank you 🙏 mike

Wasted money, he never would win.

His only goal is to defeat Donald in November. Let’s wait until then before saying he failed ;-)

Kinda seems like a waste that could have been better used then or now

He could help so many restaurants and their workers ... he should

I pray for Michael Bloomberg to remain healthy as we need his help to defeat Trump !!!

Thats an example of how rotten the system is and how the Dems embrace it with open arms.

That money could really be used in the fight against virus. What a waste of money. That’s problem with politics

All the good that could have been done with that money. What a shame.

I Think 🤔 that’s called a Tax Write Off so spare us the Particulars as if he lost that much 🤷🏾‍♂️

..u got THT much bread to throw away JESUS..stupid mf clda fed ALOT of people with tht, put a few roofs ovr peoples heads...ths is all a game to sum..flaunting wealth shld b punished

Wouldn’t it be cool if had put that money towards fighting COVID-19 instead?

If he did as a donation to Covid he will win all

Dildo.

Dude literally wasted a billion dollars and we don’t have a fucking problem 😂

Yes and think about all the great thing that money could have done to help. More money than sense... it’s the narcissist way!😂

And now he will help Joe to win.

That’s more than Trump has made in his lifetime!

Its his money.

Does he have anything left to assist in the Coronavirus battle?

Pocket change. LOL

Is that tax deducible?

Could have ended Coronavirus with that money. Wow. Doesn’t care about people.

How much has he contributed to help in this time of crisis?

Bloomberg came in with one goal and that was to stop Bernie Sanders. He did what he had to do. Gave the big check to the DNC so plan fulfilled

That’s obscene

Wonder how many lives that money could’ve helped save if it was spent towards helping people and institutions obtain medical resources rather than on a campaign no person in the US actually wanted to see or cared about. Least if all, and especially, those in NYC.

If he could just give me a million...🤗🤗🤗

If only he spended it on hospitals, respirators and ventilators

Aqui é o Junior eu quero à música da DJ AMANDA MIURY jogando a bunda

But he can’t pay more in taxes?

Why doesn’t he spend another billion helping in getting. Ventilators , masks gloves and any other medical supplies

Assssssssshooooole

Lol, that's because even Mikey saw how bad of shape Joe is in. I mean Joe still thinks he's running for Senate. 😬

How can rich people understand people's needs? These people who spend so much money on personal benefits do not deserve to be president of the United States. Indecency is their path to power. People must regain the power that they once put in the hands of politicians...

Probably will write them all off when tax season comes around next year

An alt-headline: Mike Bloomberg spent nearly a billion dollars to prevent Americans from having universal healthcare and stabilized income inequality.

Maybe Bloomberg should be sending checks to American families!

Imagine if that was spent on this virus....

He said he was still in the fight against Trump. So help the nation with COVID19outbreak MikeBloomberg

Think of all the people he could have helped with that money

They always say you get dumb as hell as you age. This along with our govt today proves that.

It's not about the money, it's about the dun dun do do do dumb (just kidding). It's all about compassion, leadership and values. You cannot use a billion to anything if that billion doesn't serve your people.

Should have helped the poor instead of spreading hate.
