Former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg donated a total of $463.8 million to his self-funded presidential campaign by the beginning of February, according to a Federal Election Commission filing posted Thursday.
Of that money, Bloomberg has spent $220 million in January alone — more than several of his opponents have raised in the entire cycle. Axios estimated that equalled a spending of $7.1 million a day, broken down into $4,942 spent per minute and $82.37 per second.
Bloomberg, who’s worth over $50 billion, has been spending heavily on TV advertisements, especially on Super Tuesday states on March 3.
The new filing was submitted the day after Bloomberg made his first debate appearance in Nevada, where he was heavily attacked by his rivals over his support of stop-and-frisk as mayor and nondisclosure agreements he's signed with women amid media reports regarding allegations he has made a number of sexist comments.

Agree.
looked like a deer in the headlights at the debate!
ROFL
sooo in over his little head!
all the money in the world wont buy you a clue lil bloomy
Is there any chance of him ending up broke and homeless?
The Bloomie campaign is a one-man jobs stimulus program!
Be a big man Mike. Let the women talk. You came out of that debate looking more like Harvey Weinstein than anyone’s idea of a President.
No — he’s worth over $50 billion.
It's a shame when lust for power and personal ego make someone do stupid things. The guy should enjoy his Bermuda mansion and golf.
Very unlikely.
Bloomberg LP is a cash machine and a lot of that goes into Bloomie's pockets. I think it's actually difficult for him to spend the money faster than it comes in.
There are different types of hubris.
Bloomberg did make huge money based on his own efforts, so he thinks he’s smart enough to run our lives.
Baraq Obama thought he was smart enough to run our lives because he was born that way.
I wonder how much he’s being ripped off.
Nah, all Bloomberg is getting for it is ridicule.
He’s blowing his wad of cash, and won’t get anywhere.
Trump spent far less than everyone else in the 2016 dust-up.
I think that’s what grates them.
It was his ideas, and the Left have none.
All Bloomberg has done is out himself as a low class fool, who wants to micromanage everyone else.
You mean stupid, misguided, laws had unintended effects?
Say it ain’t so, joe!
Half a trillion $ pissed right down the sewer for nothing. And it could’ve done some good too - had he just cared enough about anyone other then himself. Medicine. Medical research. Many many good causes many of them.
Half a billion here, half a billion there,
pretty soon you’re talking about real money.
Very rich people are used to buying their way everywhere... they don’t count on charm, being nice, helping, paying what everyone else does.... they buy their way into EVERYTHING. They don’t know there is any other way.
[looked like a deer in the headlights at the debate!]
You know the Democrats have reached a new low when Fake American Indian Warren shredded Bloomberg.
After deflecting the question by the moderator, with a looooong line of nonsense out of Bloomberg’s mouth, Warren tore him to pieces.
I should have popped some popcorn.
The guy is the definition of a vulgar elitist control freak. The world is not enough for this creep.
Money well wasted.
