Michael Dell is investing $ 6.25 billion in the Trump Accounts program

Michael Dell has spent decades building one of the largest companies in the technology sector. Now, the billionaire and founder of Dell Technologies has made headlines for a different reason—reports have emerged about his connection to the so-called «Trump Accounts», - a new investment program aimed at supporting children in the U.S. This news has sparked renewed interest in Dell’s wealth, the sources of his income, and the amount that he and his wife have invested in the initiative.
Michael is the founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, a multinational technology company that started as a dorm room startup selling PCs directly to customers. Over the decades, he scaled the business into a global enterprise encompassing personal computers, enterprise equipment, and services, creating one of the most successful technology empires of modern times.
As of the end of 2025, Michael is considered one of the richest people in the world, with a net worth estimated at approximately $ 97.7 billion according to Forbes.
The «Trump Accounts» (also known as 530A or «Invest in America») is a new program created under the 2025 «One Big Beautiful Bill Act» (OBBA), designed to give American children a financial advantage. For any child in the U.S. born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, the federal government will open a new investment account with an initial capital of $ 1,000.
Parents, guardians, employers, charitable organizations, and others can contribute additional funds—up to $ 5,000 per year for each child. This money will be invested in low-cost U.S. stock index funds, which are expected to grow over time, and will become accessible when the child reaches adulthood (typically 18 years old, with restrictions on early withdrawals).
On December 2, 2025, Michael and his wife Susan pledged a historic donation of $ 6.25 billion to fund the «Trump Accounts» for 25 million American children, primarily under the age of 10 and living in low-income zip codes. Their donation will enable each of these children to receive $ 250 in initial capital, which will supplement, and in some cases effectively increase, the government’s initial grant of $ 1,000 (for children born in 2025−2028).
«We have always aimed to bring support as close to families as possible, and the Invest America program continues that work», - Susan said in an interview, according to The New York Times. «It's a slightly different approach, but now there is an opportunity to do something truly significant and help 25 million children who will really benefit from this»
