Australian businessman Anthony Pratt is making waves with a massive $15 million donation to support President-elect Donald Trump, placing him among the top five donors for the upcoming administration. Pratt, the executive chairman of Pratt Industries, a company known for its 100% recycled paper and packaging, is joining the ranks of major figures like Elon Musk, Timothy Mellon, Miriam Adelson, and Linda McMahon.
“I’ve always said it, and I’ll say it again—President Trump was a great president, and he will be again,” Pratt shared. “I’m proud to support him, not just with this donation but by investing billions in American manufacturing jobs during his first term. I’ll continue to do so in his next one too.”
The majority of Pratt’s donation—$14 million—will go to the Make America Great Again, Inc. super PAC, with the remaining $1.1 million directed toward Trump’s inaugural fund.
At 64, Pratt has played a key role in building 70 factories across the US, providing 12,000 manufacturing jobs, and becoming the largest Australian employer of Americans. He’s no stranger to the US either, having visited regularly since the 1980s. Just last year, he made the decision to apply for permanent US residency, which he was recently granted. “It felt like the right time to make America my home. My family’s already here, and I’m excited to focus on growing my business in the US,” he said.
With his investment in both Trump’s campaign and American jobs, Pratt is making a big impact on both the business and political landscape.
