From Breitbart: Billionaires Michael and Susan Dell together pledged $6.25 billion Tuesday to fund investment accounts for some 25 million American children.
The couple’s unprecedented donation will be the largest ever devoted to the nation’s youth, according to Invest America, a nonprofit advocacy group partnered with the Dells.
Dell, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Dell Technologies, one of the world’s largest technology infrastructure companies, told CNBC in an interview just what sparked the act of philanthropy:
We know that when children have accounts like this, they’re much more likely to graduate from high school, from college, buy a home, start a business and less likely to be incarcerated.
As part of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a new initiative was formed called the “Trump accounts,” which allows parents to open tax-advantaged investment accounts for children under 18 with Social Security numbers. The program starts July 4, 2026.
The federal government will seed the accounts with $1,000 for U.S. citizen children born from the beginning of 2025 through 2028.
Now the Dells have gone back farther, promising to seed Trump accounts with $250 for children who are 10 or under who were born before Jan. 1, 2025.
The couple posted a video announcement explaining their donation:
$6.25 billion. 25 million children. $250 each.
Susan and I believe the smartest investment we can make is in children. That’s why we’re so excited to contribute $6.25 billion from our charitable funds to help 25 million children start building a strong financial foundation… pic.twitter.com/4Bcv3RKp0q
