Michael Dell and Susan Dell have pledged $6.25 billion to boost newly created U.S. children’s investment accounts, often called “Trump Accounts.” Their donation will provide $250 each to around 25 million children aged 10 or younger who were not eligible for the government’s original $1,000 newborn deposits (for babies born 2025–2028).
These accounts, opening nationwide on July 4, 2026, will be invested in low-cost stock-market index funds and will remain locked until each child turns 18. At adulthood, funds can be used for education, starting a business, or buying a first home. Families and others may add up to $5,000 annually.
The Dells say the goal is to help children build long-term financial security and expand opportunity across the country.
