Social media influencer and streamer Adin Ross has just earned a massive payday—$1.6 million—after betting $1 million on Donald Trump to win the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The popular internet personality took to social media on Tuesday to reveal his bold bet, placing the wager ahead of Election Day.
He had backed the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, against the incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris.
By Wednesday, Ross was celebrating his big win. After Trump was confirmed as the election’s victor, Ross shared that he had cashed out an impressive $1.6 million, doubling his original bet.

In the lead-up to the election, Ross had been vocal about his support for Trump. Just weeks before voters went to the polls, he hosted a highly publicized live-stream session with the former president.
