Michael Dell and his wife Susan donated $6.25 billion in 2025 to Trump Accounts, the administration's child savings initiative, and that pledge will now add $250 to every eligible child's account. The Dell Technologies founder and CEO discussed the significance of corporate stock donations into these accounts in a conversation with Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Jennifer Schonberger. Dell dismissed concerns that stock donations could concentrate a child's long-term financial security in a single company or let billionaire donors manipulate asset prices or secure tax write-offs, calling them unlikely corner cases. He noted that his own gift, the government's gift, and contributions from Ray Dalio, Barbara Dalio and Brad Gerstner all go into the S&P 500, while Gwen Shotwell is giving two million shares of SpaceX to two million children. Dell said such holdings will spark children's interest in space, capitalism, capital markets, compounding and investing, and he pointed out that 38% of family households own no stock at all while 37 states have already begun financial education programs.
