Self/Investor as FEC employer text: $8.6 million

A slash form, not PRIVATE INVESTOR as two words

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Self/Investor is the mixed-case slash spelling committees stored. The $8,603,535 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not a NAICS 5239 rollup of other financial investment activities, not AUM, and not a partnership PAC.

People who typed PRIVATE INVESTOR, INVESTOR, INVESTMENTS, SELF-EMPLOYED, or RETIRED sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into Self/Investor. The FEC field records stored text, not a securities-license roster.

897 donors and 7,718 lines

897 unique donors produced 7,718 Self/Investor contribution lines totaling $8,603,535. That is on the order of 9 itemized receipts per donor — fewer lines per person than TEACHER or RAYTHEON COMPANY clusters in this ranking. Unique-donor count exceeds the line-to-donor ratio of several firm-name rows nearby. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $8,603,535 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 7,718 lines are expected.

PRIVATE INVESTOR and INVESTOR stay separate

PRIVATE INVESTOR, INVESTOR, INVESTMENTS, and FIDELITY INVESTMENTS are separate strings — three title variants and one firm name. Combining them with Self/Investor would invent a capital-markets recode. This page stays at $8,603,535 for the slash spelling only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside Self/Investor as typed. OWNER and ENTREPRENEUR remain unrelated title-style rows.

Donor table without portfolio inference

The Self/Investor donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a fund strategy, a 13F filing, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not a wealth census.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the slash form. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

PRIVATE INVESTOR and INVESTOR remain other keys

Self/Investor as a slash form is not PRIVATE INVESTOR, not INVESTOR, not INVESTMENTS, and not FIDELITY INVESTMENTS. Those strings sit on other keys. The $8,603,535 total, 7,718 contribution lines, and 897 donors describe this mixed-case slash spelling only. OWNER and ENTREPRENEUR remain unrelated title-style rows. Line volume per donor is lower than many payroll clusters.

Unitemized gifts, state races, partnership PACs, and AUM figures stay outside the $8,603,535. Occupation pages show titles beside Self/Investor. People who still type the slash form remain in the 897. The FEC field is not a securities-license roster and not NAICS 5239. Repeat names among 7,718 lines are expected.

Open the Self/Investor donor table for disclosed names and committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution, not a 13F or fund-strategy inference. Cite $8,603,535, 7,718 contributions, and 897 donors from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Labels are FEC employer/occupation self-reports. Do not add PRIVATE INVESTOR to this slash form and call the sum a capital-markets industry.

Researchers who want a capital-markets recode must list PRIVATE INVESTOR, INVESTOR, INVESTMENTS, and FIDELITY INVESTMENTS as separate additions. The $8,603,535 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on Self/Investor as 897 donors and 7,718 lines. Line volume per donor is lower than many payroll clusters. Follow recipient committees on the Self/Investor donor table. Party share is not computed on the industry headline. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, self-reported employer text, not NAICS 5239 and not a securities-license roster.

Questions

How much have Self/Investor-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $8,603,535 to the Self/Investor employer string, from 7,718 contributions and 897 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a fund PAC and not a NAICS investment-office total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Is this the same as PRIVATE INVESTOR?

No. PRIVATE INVESTOR, INVESTOR, and INVESTMENTS are separate employer strings. The $8,603,535 total is only receipts whose grouped text is Self/Investor. Named firms such as FIDELITY INVESTMENTS sit in other keys. Figures here are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this hedge-fund PAC spending?

No. These are itemized individual contributions whose employer text grouped to Self/Investor. Partnership and PAC filings are other FEC categories. Coverage is federal itemized receipts only. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that $8,603,535 figure as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed Self/Investor?

The rollup counts 897 donors and 7,718 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count — on the order of 9 itemized receipts per donor, fewer lines per person than many payroll clusters. This is not a securities-license headcount. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only.
