American tech billionaire Michael Dell and his wife Susan Dell have donated $6.25 billion in support of the federal government's "Trump Accounts" program. The couple's contribution will enable $250 to be transferred to the investment accounts of approximately 25 million children.
The "Trump Accounts" program, aimed at increasing children's future financial opportunities in the U.S., has gained significant momentum with substantial contributions from the private sector. Technology billionaire Michael Dell and his wife Susan Dell drew national attention by donating $6.25 billion to support the federal government's new investment account project. This massive donation aims to provide millions of children with a stronger start in life through capital support.
$1,000 FOR EVERY BABY
Officially introduced at https://trumpaccounts.gov, the program was announced to the public by U.S. President Donald Trump. Under the plan, an investment account will be opened for every child born between December 31, 2024, and January 1, 2029, with the federal government making a one-time initial contribution of $1,000 to these accounts. The accounts will be locked until the child turns 18 and can be used for purposes such as education, home acquisition, or starting a business.
THE DELL COUPLE GUARANTEES $250
The donation from Michael and Susan Dell aims to include older children who will not benefit from the government contribution in the program. In this context, it is anticipated that $250 will be transferred from special funds to the accounts of approximately 25 million children. The Dell couple has invited other philanthropists and companies to contribute to the program.
The date set for the program to be fully implemented is July 4, 2026. From this date, families will be able to open accounts for their children and make their own contributions as well. The annual individual contribution limit has been set at $5,000.
The Trump Accounts program has received praise from advocates for its potential to provide young people with "economic startup capital," while the significant donations from the private sector have resonated widely across the country.
