What do you mean, “the public purse”? That was funded entirely with donations.

So $165 million, firstly $11.5 million directly from the local government, > 10% from foreign governments, and several high 6 figure "donations" from people he pardoned (on top of those people paying "consultation fees" to close family members of the Clintons).

I probably should have said "by the public purse, among others".
