Backlash against Equinox and SoulCycle fitness clubs reverberated across social media last week as consumers voiced disapproval of billionaire owner Stephen Ross’s $250,000-per-ticket Hamptons fundraiser for President Donald Trump.

Ross, a fellow New York real-estate tycoon, is chairman and founder of Related Companies, and owner of the Miami Dolphins. Related Companies is parent company of EquinoxSoulCycleBlink Fitness, and PURE Yoga.

RSE Ventures, a venture capital firm co-founded by Ross, has also invested in VaynerMedia, MomofukuBluestone Lane, Drone Racing League, Relevent Sports Group, Omaze, NextVR, and Lola. (Momofuku’s David Chang donated all of the profits on Friday, Aug. 9 to various organizations including Planned Parenthood.)

While CEOs and other leaders of consumer-facing brands have been careful around showing support for political candidates, Ross isn’t exactly the only prominent business person who has supported Trump.

Here are other business leaders and founders who have thrown dollars behind the president.

  1. Looking for a new signature scent? Picking the perfect perfume https://ceresaperfume.com requires some thoughtful consideration! Start by understanding your preference- floral, citrus, woody, or spicy. Head to a store and don’t rush: Smell a few, take a break, then revisit your favorites. Your nose can get overwhelmed, so don’t try more than 5 scents in one day! Also, remember perfumes can smell different on everyone due to body chemistry. To determine how it actually smells on you and how long it lasts, apply on your wrist and let it sit for a few hours before deciding. Happy sniffing! #perfume #beautytips

  2. I have been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours nowadays, but I never found any fascinating article like yours. It’s pretty worth sufficient for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the internet shall be much more useful than ever before.
