Alex added $721,300 to the Biden Victory Fund in 2020. <br>On Thursday morning, Alex Soros shared an Instagram story with a caption of Biden and the message "Joe Biden warns an ‘oligarchy’ is emerging in America in his final White House address."<br><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/billionaire-visited-epstein-island-drops-massive-six-figure-donation-biden-re-election-bid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman</a> donated $699,600.00 on April 26, 2023, to the Biden Victory Fund, the campaign’s joint fundraising vehicle, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records. <br>Biden attended a fundraiser that Hoffman hosted on behalf of the super PAC at the private residence of Shannon Hunt-Scott and Kevin Scott in Los Gatos, California, in June 2023. <br>Former New York City mayor, billionaire entrepreneur and media magnate Michael Bloomberg <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bloomberg-shells-out-millions-help-biden-battle-trump-2024-presidential-election-rematch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">contributed nearly $20 million</a> to help boost President Biden in his 2024 election rematch with former President Trump, sources confirmed to Fox News last year. <br><span>U.S. President Joe Biden, former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and former U.S. President Donald Trump attend the annual 9/11 Commemoration Ceremony at the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum on Sept. 11, 2024, in New York City. </span> <span>(Michael M.
