Being a backer of entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy’s 2024 presidential campaign could be quite profitable for those willing to help him rake in the dough.

The 37-year-old rolled out a new initiative Monday dubbed “Vivek’s Kitchen Cabinet,” in which supporters who help raise funds for his White House bid will earn 10% of whatever amount they bring in. …

“Did he learn this trick from Bernie Madoff?” asked Josh Hammer, a Newsweek senior editor-at-large.
