Sent Tom Steyer some money this morning.

“What? Are you insane? The guy’s a billionaire, he doesn’t need your money!”

In fact, he does. There are so many billionaires any more that they split up into sub-classes just like anyone else. Tom is one of the lesser ones, close to the bottom of the billionaire poverty barrel in fact, at $1.6 billion net worth. Unlike Bloomberg, he cannot finance a presidential run from his own funds, though it has gotten him a good start in the primaries.

He doesn’t have to fund a presidential run, just a primary run. For instance according to Open Secrets, Bernie 2020 has raised about $74 million dollars so far. Steyer can afford $100 million if it is important enough to him. He could spend an awful lot more than that and still live like a king for the rest of his life.
