ast week, Forbes combed through campaign finance records to find the billionaires spending to stop Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist who says billionaires should not exist, from becoming mayor of America’s largest city. That analysis identified 26 billionaires or billionaire families who had poured over $22 million in total into the race trying to stop the New York assemblyman who’s leading in the polls. (Since then, Mike Bloomberg has donated another $1.5 million to a group backing Mamdani's rival, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo).
More surprising is the fact that, as of Oct. 27, there are at least two billionaires pulling for Mamdani.
