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.

Think about all of the leftist pet projects he could have funded with that money.
Why isn’t your average Democrat outraged, like they are with everything else?
A fool and his money are soon parted
Exactly. Can you imagine having this much money to literally throw away? Think of the inner city schools or places for the homeless he could have used this money for. He’s a sick dude. Has no business anywhere near the White HOuse.
In order for a nonUK citizen to buy property in Bermuda, one MUST file certain papers with Parliament, to be passed on, or not. Said papers do contain many questions about the person/s and the family. ( and yes, I DO know all about this, because my parents had to do this, when they purchased property there. )
I'm not certain if it is still true, but at one time, the wealthiest, poshest place ( area ) in Bermuda, where the mansions were, was called "FAIRYLAND". The name had to do with it being akin to something remarkable...out of an old fairy tale.
The constructive purposes this money could have been used for. Despicable.
Trump mostly self-funded his first campaign. But what he did NOT do, is bribe the RNC, as Bloomberg has bribed the DNC. Plus Trump didn’t have to make ad buys like Bloomberg; the news media gave him millions of dollars worth of free advertising, trying to put him under. It, of course, did just the opposite, and helped him win.
The clips I’ve heard from last night’s debate, smell suspiciously of a well-organized, well-rehearsed attack plan by democrat candidates against Bloomberg. They’re furious at his DNC bribes, plus they’re scared to death of him. Warren’s attacks about NDA’s may have thrilled her cohort and the audience, but any fair-minded American should have seen right away, that as a lawyer, she knows NDA’s are legal documents, that cannot just be discarded wholesale, as she was repeatedly trying to bludgeon him to do.
What may be one of the easiest ways ever to become a millionaire? Start out as a billionaire and run an unsuccessful campaign for President.
Actually, that would STILL take a long time.
I don’t believe Mike Bloomberg has completely thought this through, and that is somewhat surprising, considering his other money decisions in life.
“If you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?”
“If you’re so rich, why ain’t you smart?”
he better spend some money learning how to debate
He could have provided a free abortion to half a million poor women who couldn't have afforded one on their own.
The D ‘s aren’t outraged about multi- billionaire soroznazi buying the dnc. And they’re not outraged about billionaire steyer buying into the D party. And they’re not outraged about fake D billionaire Bloomberg trying to buy the D nomination either. They just love sucking ($$$$$$$$$$). Money talks. And when it does , it calls the tune. At least in some quarters
He must have a very incompetent campaign manager.
Because NO ONE had prepared him for the grilling he got last night.
