Donald Trump’s first day as president may have been short on A-list celebs, but when it comes to big checks, Trump’s inauguration really was the biggest ever, period.

A 510-page disclosure report, filed with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday, showed casino magnate Sheldon Adelson ponied up a whopping $5 million to pay for the festivities, the largest single contribution ever given to an inauguration, according to a New York Times report.

Adelson wasn’t the only one to offerย up a multi-million dollar donation. Other wealthy contributors included New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, billionaire investors Steven Cohen and Charles Schwab, and Robert Parsons, the founder of GoDaddy.com.
