Super PAC, which supports Andrew Cuomo's mayoral bid, has already raised a massive donation totaling $2.3 million, including real estate profits and big shots over the past week, the new record reveals.
Among the Honcos, who recently donated to the former governor's “city-fixing” super PAC, was billionaire Stephen Ross, founder and chairman of the affiliate, kicking for $50,000.
His company developed Hudson Yards.
He also owns the Miami Dolphin.
Billionaire building giant John Fish shows records that have been submitted to the state election commission.
His New England-based Suffolk Construction Company has a large Apple office and is working on renovations to Waldorf Astoria, among other projects.
Joseph Bellach, a lawyer who chairs the board panel at the State University of New York's charter school, kicked $100,000, similar to RFR Holdings, a real estate company founded by Michael Fuchs and Abby Rosen.
The City Super PAC amendment allows for the increased unlimited levels of donation, as opposed to candidate campaigns. This means that if you request a public matching fund, you can only collect up to $2,100 from the donor.
The City was created by Cuomo's intimate companions over the past few weeks.
Cuomo campaigns and city amendments are prohibited under the law from adjusting campaign activities.
Another Super PAC has been formed to support mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, a left-handed state legislator from Queens.

This group is called New Yorkers because of its low cost.
No contributions have been reported yet.
Mamdani said Monday that she raised $8 million in a public matching fund to support the city hall campaign, raising funds for him with a left-handed character, including “Sex and the City” actress Cynthia Nixon.
The government's Watchdog Group knows that the hyperpolitical action committee, known as an independent spending group, is now ending within the campaign system. But they are legal under a controversial U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
New York City has strict restrictions on donors doing business in front of the city.
They can donate $400 directly to the candidate.
“This is the city's campaign finance system Kryptonite,” John Kenney, executive director of Linevent Albany, said of Super PACS.
“These super PACs are a way to avoid donation restrictions for candidates with business people in front of the city.
“It allows you to play pay,” he said.
The 2021 Super PACS raised $7.8 million to help Eric Adams succeed in the mayoral election.
Cuomo led the Democratic main sector with 41% of votes, then Mamdani, a vote run by Bradley Honan, discovered by Tusk Strategy Group, with 18%.
City Director Brad Lander has won 8% of the vote, with Adams with 6% support and former City Director Scott Stringer and speaker Adrian Adams each supporting 4%. 15% of major voters are still undecided.
