Wall Street workers have given more than $74 million to support Democrat Joe Biden for president.
CNBC cited data from the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics that showed Biden has deep-pocketed backers on Wall Street.
Starting in 2019, Wall Street workers have spent big on Biden but have given President Donald Trump around $18 million for this election.
The donations have come in the form of direct contributions to Biden's campaign, contributions to political action committees supporting him, and fundraising events.
Among Biden's backers:
- Paloma Partners founder Donald Sussman ($9 million).
- Renaissance Technologies founder Jim Simons ($7 million).
- Former Renaissance Technologies chief scientist and vice president of research Henry Laufer ($625,000).
- Former Goldman Sachs president Harvey Schwartz ($100,000).
The report adds that nearly $20 million from people working for hedge funds, private equity firms, and other companies focused around investments has gone directly to Biden's campaign.
With the election less than a week away, Wall Street markets have plummeted over uncertainty fears.
