Rebekah Mercer (born December 6, 1973) is an American heiress and Republican political donor,[2][3] 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.[2][4][5][6][7][8] Her father, billionaire Robert Mercer, said in November 2017 that he had sold his stake in the news site Breitbart to his daughters.[9] In August 2018, she funded and co-founded the social networking service Parler.[10][11]
