Secretive trader Jeff Yass got rich navigating Wall Streetâs ups and downs with his firm, Susquehanna International Group. After an investigation into his holdings,
Forbes added him to the Worldâs Billionaires list last week with an estimated net worth of $12 billion, a fortune thatâs allowed him to shovel gobs of money into politics. In the 2020 election cycle, Yass was the seventh-largest billionaire donor in America.
A registered libertarian, he spent $31.1 million in 2019 and 2020. He did not donate directly to Donald Trump or Joe Biden in the 2020 election and instead concentrated his efforts on two conservative super-PACsâpolitical groups that can accept unlimited sums from donors. Yass gave $21.7 million to Club For Growth Action and $8.6 million to Protect Freedom Political Action Committee.
