Hedge fund billionaire and philanthropist Ken Griffin appears to have donated $100,000 to a GoFundMe set up to support the victims and families of those injured or killed in a shooting at a Donald Trump rally Saturday that killed one person and left several with injuries, including the former president.

The fund, created two days ago by Meredith O’Rourke, the finance director of the Trump campaign, has raised $4.2 million—several times its $1 million goal.
Major donors to the campaign include Griffin ($100,000); Florida Gov. Rick Scott and his wife, Ann ($50,000); the conservative Heritage Foundation ($50,000); UFC President Dana White ($50,000); Kid Rock ($50,000); former Republican presidential nomination contender Vivek Ramaswamy ($30,000); Ben Shapiro ($15,000) and the conservative news website Shapiro founded, the Daily Wire ($15,000).
