Sheryl Sandberg
The billionaire former Meta COO endorsed Harris, putting out a glowing statement on Instagram last Monday, though it is unclear if she donated to her losing campaign.“Vice President @kamalaharris has already made history once – becoming the first Black and South Asian woman to hold her office, and she will do it again in November,” Sandberg foolishly predicted.

Vinod Khosla
The billionaire venture capitalist called for an open convention after Democrats stabbed Biden in the back, but just a day later, called for all Democrats to unite behind Harris.“Time for all ‘not MAGA’ folks to come together for @KamalaHarris to beat Trump and save our democracy, reject bad values, reject Project 2025 and the dictatorship that Trump loves, all while being a good global citizen,” Khosla said on X.
Like many others, his donations, if any , are not traceable.
