60m could have helped alot of people. Insane way to waste so much money imho.


$60M is only a small part of what he spent too - by the end of February his advertising spend was ~$400M [1], with who knows how much money spent on hiring staff, renting offices, etc.

Bloomberg is a great example of how hard our world's richest will fight tooth and nail to hold on to their wealth.

This sentence betrays a basic misunderstanding of money's fungibility.
