Is there a canonical list of US billionaires, or say, top 100 wealthiest US citizens? I suspect that not all provide their endorsement. I'd be interested in seeing a more complete breakdown (assuming this isn't).

yeah, good point. my list is not exhaustive. it's hard to find an exhaustive list of the billionaires and whom they supported. if you search for "billionaires for trump" and "bilionaires for clinton" and such things, it sure looks like nearly all of the wealthiest billionaires supported Clinton.
if we just add up the Buffett, Gates, Bloomberg and Soros fortunes, the number is awfully large though. it's about $225 billion. and you end up thinking "if Trump had equal support from the wealthiest billionaires, who are they? i can't seem to find them."
