Businessman Michael Bloomberg poured 935 million USD into his brief presidential campaign through February. Of that amount, 474 million USD was his personal money, his statement to the Federal Election Commission shows.

The spending of the former New York mayor in February was a record-breaking month for the presidential campaign, totaling 875 million USD. According to the document, Bloomberg ended the month with 60.6 million USD at the bank plus liabilities of 31.7 million USD, according to documents cited by its eponymous news agency Bloomberg.

The former presidential candidate joined the race on November 24, convinced that Republican Gov Donald Trump will defeat any Democratic candidate. But after spending nearly 580 million USD on advertising and building staff of 2,400 people in 43 states, his disappointing results from the so-called supervisor left him with no option but to retire. He stopped campaigning on March 4 and backed his former opponent and former Vice President Joe Biden.

According to published documents, his campaign continued at a heavy cost in February. Assembly was paid 246 million USD for the acquisition of advertising space, 33.1 million USD for Facebook Inc and 28.6 million USD for Mission Control, a postal service company.

Bloomberg announced Friday that it is transferring 18 million USD from its campaign to the Democratic National Committee and transferring some of its staff to an effort to help support the overall campaign of political power against Donald Trump in the upcoming elections in November.

Earlier, Bloomberg said that even if he did not win the Democratic nomination, he was still willing to spend a lot of money to keep teams in six key states.
