Billionaire and Democratic Megadonor Reid Hoffman is Looking to Move Abroad After Trump’s Victory

The leftist billionaire and Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman is reportedly looking to leave the United States after Donald Trump’s landslide victory.

Hoffman, who made his billions as the founder of the professional networking website LinkedIn, is said to fear retaliation from the incoming Trump administration and is now weighing a move overseas.

The New York Times reported:

In the weeks after Election Day, one of the biggest donors in the Democratic Party, the LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, has considered what would once have been unthinkable for a billionaire who often talks about his patriotism. Leaving the United States.

Mr. Hoffman, who has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on politics over the last few years, has told friends and allies that he is weighing a move overseas, according to three people with knowledge of the talks who insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations.

Mr. Hoffman, who declined to comment through a spokeswoman, has helped pay for some of the most aggressive private litigation against Donald J. Trump, and he is worried about retribution from a president who has promised to go after his political opponents, including major Democratic donors.

While Mr. Hoffman’s reaction is dramatic — and it’s unclear how much moving abroad would protect him or his assets from Mr. Trump’s wrath — he is hardly alone in a liberal big-money world still stunned by Vice President Kamala Harris’s defeat.

While America may miss Hoffman’s tax dollars, this would likely be a price worth paying for a man who has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the Democratic Party and allied organizations over the past few years.

Hoffman did everything he could prevent Donald Trump from reaching the Oval Office, even throwing financial support behind former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in her embarassing and unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination.

The 57-year-old, whose net worth is estimated at around $2.1 billion, is believed to have previously visited convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epsein’s private island and has bankrolled numerous leftist causes.

While many celebrities and other prominent figures have threatened to leave the country in the event of a Trump presidency, few have yet to follow through.

One of those who has fled the country is the disgraced talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who has moved to England with her partner Portia de Rossi. The pair say they are never coming back.
