Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman has donated $250,000 to a super PAC supporting former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s mayoral race.
Ackman’s contribution to the pro-Cuomo PAC “Fix the City, Inc.” was disclosed in campaign filings and brings its total fundraising to more than $4.9 million in about six weeks. Cuomo has recently received $100,000 from philanthropist and Walmart Inc. heiress Alice Walton, $250,000 from media magnate Barry Diller and $100,000 from fashion designer Michael Kors.
