Miriam Adelson, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has made a substantial donation of $100 million to Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. This contribution represents more than half of the Mavericks' total payroll, which is reported to be approximately $186 million. Adelson acquired the majority stake in the team from Mark Cuban in December 2023. The donation aligns with a trend among sports team owners, as several have made significant contributions to political campaigns, with some supporting Trump and others backing Kamala Harris. Notable figures in this context include Woody Johnson, Avram Glazer, and Laura Ricketts, who have also contributed to various political causes.
