Zohran Mamdani has said billionaires shouldn't exist. Some of them are spending big in an effort to stop him from becoming mayor of New York City.After failing to defeat the Democratic socialist state assemblyman's campaign during the June primary, several big-name billionaires have continued to pour money into outside groups aimed at stopping Mamdani and boosting his main rival, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.Those groups include Fix the City, a pro-Cuomo group that's raised $7.3 million since the primary, along with Defend NYC, an anti-Mamdani group that's raised almost $2.5 million.Polling has shown Mamdani leading Cuomo, along with the Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa. The incumbent mayor, Eric Adams, dropped his third-party bid in September and endorsed Cuomo on Thursday.Despite Mamdani's outreach to the business community, many of the city's business titans have remained supportive of Cuomo and spoken out against many of Mamdani's progressive policies.Here are the billionaires who've spent more than $100,000 in the mayoral race since the June primary.
