Funding the Heavyweights

U.S. elections are no longer decided by votes alone—they are increasingly shaped by capital concentration. Funding the Heavyweights is a Strategic Intelligence Report that maps how billionaire donors and elite financial networks are influencing the 2024 U.S. presidential contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

This report breaks down the financial ecosystems behind both camps, profiling ultra-high-net-worth individuals, hedge-fund magnates, tech founders, and media powerbrokers who are underwriting political momentum. It analyses donation patterns, ideological alignment, and sectoral interests—from tech and finance to energy, defence, and media—revealing how policy priorities are being pre-negotiated through capital flows.

Beyond individual donors, the report explains what these funding asymmetries mean for governance outcomes: regulatory capture risks, shifts in economic policy, foreign policy recalibration, and the durability of democratic institutions under elite pressure. Comparative analysis highlights how billionaire influence differs across parties—transactional versus stabilisation-driven funding—and what that signals for post-election decision-making.

Designed for policy analysts, investors, political risk firms, diplomats, journalists, and strategic institutions, this intelligence product turns donor lists into foresight.

Elections end on polling day—but power negotiations don’t. Following Global Eye Intelligence ensures you understand who is really shaping the next U.S. administration, before capital-backed agendas harden into policy reality.
