In addition to the tens of thousands he's given to GOP candidates and causes, Wynn co-chaired the president’s inaugural committee in 2016, which raised a record $107 million. The billionaire also contributed $729,217 to the inauguration fund through Wynn Resorts Ltd, according to Bloomberg.

Billionaire casino magnate Steve Wynn, who was just accused of widespread sexual misconduct, including assault, by dozens who spoke with The Wall Street Journal, is one of the most prominent donors in politics. 
Wynn, whose estimated net worth is $2.5 billion, stepped down as the Republican National Committee's finance chair on Saturday and has donated millions to candidates and groups over the past four decades. 
The billionaire has contributed millions between the RNC, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), President Donald Trump, and a number of other powerful and prominent lawmakers.

Although the majority of his contributions have enriched GOP committees and candidates, Wynn has also occasionally donated to Democrats.
