Crypto billionaire Chris Larsen backs Calif. GOP gov candidate — after betting on Katie Porter
San Francisco crypto billionaire Chris Larsen insists he still supports hotheaded liberal ex-Rep. Katie Porter in the closely-watched California gubernatorial race — despite plans to donate thousands to her conservative opponent.
Larsen — the co-founder of Ripple who is worth some $10 billion, according to Forbes — already cut a maximum $39,200 check to Porter’s campaign in June, but revealed to Politico on Wednesday that he also intends to drop the same amount to support Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host.
The billionaire told the outlet that his hedging of bets had nothing to do with viral videos of Porter losing her cool and cursing out a staffer, which led to her plummeting in the polls.#ChrisLarsen #WriteToEarnUpgrade #BinancevibeswithBossy @Binance Labs $BNB
