Rebekah Mercer
Rebekah Mercer (born December 6, 1973) is an American heiress and Republican political donor, and director of the Mercer Family Foundation.
Mercer began overseeing day-to-day operations of political projects for the Mercer family when the Mercers became involved in conservative causes. Her father, billionaire Robert Mercer, said in 2017 that he had sold his stake in the news site Breitbart to his daughters.
In 2018, Mercer funded and co-founded the social networking service Parler. In 2022, she created the RAM Veterans Foundation, a nonprofit organization that reviews and recommends veterans charities for donors through CharitiesForVets.org.
Mercer is the second of three daughters of Diana Lynne (Dean) and billionaire hedge fund manager Robert Mercer. She was raised in Yorktown Heights, New York, a suburb of New York City.
Mercer enrolled at Cornell University and later transferred to Stanford University, where she studied biology and mathematics. In 1999, she earned her master's degree in management science and engineering.
She worked as a Wall Street trader at Renaissance Technologies, the hedge fund her father helped lead. In 2006, Mercer and her sisters purchased Ruby et Violette, a New York City company that sells cookies and brownies online. In 2010, she bought six adjoining apartment units in Donald Trump's 41-story Heritage at Trump Place.
Mercer first became engaged in conservative politics in 2012 after Mitt Romney's defeat in the 2012 presidential election. She spoke to a group of wealthy conservative donors at the University Club of New York about what the Republican Party had done wrong in canvassing and technology operations during the election.
The following year, in 2013, Mercer helped start Reclaim New York with Steve Bannon. The organization trains citizens to watch their government closely, and uses freedom of information laws to force the New York government to disclose public spending.
