Verification that Michael and Susan Dell made a $6.25 billion donation to support the Trump Accounts effort.
Multiple reliable news outlets (Reuters, AP, CNN, CNBC) reported Michael and Susan Dell pledged or committed $6.25 billion in December 2025 to seed roughly 25 million Invest America / “Trump Accounts” with $250 each. Major coverage also notes the Dells (and some officials) described the gift as the largest single private commitment to U.S. children; however, independent verification of the superlative is not established—historic philanthropic gifts (and large foundation commitments) are numerous and definitions (nominal vs. inflation‑adjusted, targeted to “American children” specifically, or broader public‑interest gifts) vary, so the claim that it is definitively “the largest single private investment in American children in our nation’s history” cannot be confirmed. Verdict: Misleading — the $6.25 billion pledge is well documented, but the statement’s sweeping claim of being the largest such private investment is presented as fact without clear evidence and is not independently verifiable as stated.
