U.S. Influencer Adin Ross Gains $1.6m In Winnings After Betting On Trump’s Election Victory
Adin Ross, a social media influencer and streamer from the United States, won $1.6 million after placing a wager on Donald Trump to win the 2024 U.S. presidential election, making him one of the major winners.
Prior to Election Day, Adin Ross revealed on social media that he had wagered $1 million on the Republican candidate.
The triumph comes after Trump defeated incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris in his victorious presidential campaign.
Trump, aged 78, is now the oldest individual to be elected President of the United States, making this a historic milestone.
Ross officially praised the former president during a highly watched live-streaming session with Trump only weeks before the election.
Ross’s wager and subsequent victory have garnered a lot of attention on social media, with followers and admirers responding to both his risk and its remarkable result.
Prior to his permanent ban from Twitch in 2023, Ross gained international recognition over the past ten years as a result of his online broadcasts on the platform. He is currently one of the most viewed stars on the platform, fronting up for Kick.
He went live on Kick with the former frontman of The Apprentice on his August visit to Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.
Shortly after the July assassination attempt, Trump received a Tesla Cybertruck covered in a now-iconic image of the 45th president during the visit. Additionally, Ross presented Trump with a Rolex watch, to top it all.
Reacting to the Cybertruck, Trump referenced Tesla CEO Elon Musk, saying: “Wow. That’s an Elon. That is beautiful. I think it’s incredible.”
On the bet from the 2024 election result, Ross took to X (formerly Twitter) where he revealed he had made $660,000 profit on the $1 million bet, which is roughly £513,000.
