Washington DC - After making a fortune through crypto nearly overnight, billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried is all set to use a chunk of it to influence the 2024 election.

Bankman-Fried said in a podcast interview that he is prepared to donate millions of dollars in 2024 races, with a "soft ceiling" of $1 billion, according to NBC News.

The founder of crypto-exchange FTX has his sights set on using his massive stacks of cash to "save the world," and making sure Democrats win the presidential election.

"I would guess north of $100 million."

That's a sum he's donated in the past, so it wouldn't be anything new for him.

But $1 billion would be "in a league of its own," according to campaign finance tracker Alex Baumgart.

According to Open Secrets, a nonprofit that tracks political donations, the highest donors top out at just over $100 million, so even if Bankman-Fried stopped short of "only" $200 million, it would still put him at the top of the table.

The 30-year-old has donated to a presidential election campaign before, putting $5 million towards a campaign fund for Biden before the 2020 election, according to an interview with Vox, while also supporting a Democratic political action committee (PAC) this year.

He is estimated to be worth around $24 billion dollars

Bankman-Fried supports "effective altruism," which is a philosophy that, in some cases, encourages earning as much as possible and using that money to help others.
