According to Bloomberg (the news agency) Bloomberg (the mayor turned brief presidential candidate) spent more than $1 billion to fund his momentary attempt at becoming the 2020 nominee for the Democrats. This revelation is not the first one to point out how much money the former NYC mayor just threw away on a completely doomed campaign. But it is a staggering amount, even if he can afford it, and also may serve to make you feel less bad about the most expensive dumbass thing you bought one time and never used.
