Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is running for US president.

The 77-year-old former New York City mayor, one of the richest men in the world, announced his decision to join the crowded Democratic field on Sunday.

His entrance comes 10 weeks before primary voting begins and reflects broader anxiety about the current candidates and their ability to defeat President Donald Trump in the general election.

Battle of the billionaires

Bloomberg, whose estimated wealth is $54.4 billion, will run against co-billionaire Donald Trump if he wins the Democratic race.

Forbes estimate Trump’s net worth is $3.7 billion, while Bloomberg say its $3 billion.

During the three years since Trump announced his presidential run in 2015, his net worth declined 31 per cent and his ranking fell 138 spots on the rich list.

I’m running for president to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America.

I believe my unique set of experiences in business, government, and philanthropy will enable me to win and lead.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
