LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman offered an impressive donation worth $5 million dollars to the Republican nominee if he will have the guts to publish his declaration of assets.

Hoffman is the LinkedIn CEO and partner at Greylock. For the challenge, he was inspired by a young Marine, who said he would donate his entire allowance founded by a veteran organization if Trump will publish its financial background during the presidential debate from October 19.

‘Trump claims to love veterans, and so we’re asking him to put his money where his mouth is’, wrote Peter Kiernan.

The challenge follows a campaign launched on a crowdfunding website by the 26-year-old Marine.

If the Kiernan achieves his $25,000 goal, Hoffman will donate five times the amount, reaching the total sum of $5 million dollars.

‘There is no reason to keep Trump’s fiscal situation a secret, excepting the fact it might be used as a debate subject’, said Hoffman.

Reid Hoffman is not the first U.S. businessman to pressure Trump’s hand to publish his tax returns. Last month, Warren Buffett said Trump will be forced to do this.

The 49-year-old become a millionaire after launching the networking tool. This year, he sold the platform to Microsoft .

According to CNN, along with billionaires Sean Parker and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Reid contributed to Hillary Clinton’s campaign with $100,000 dollars. In addition, the mastermind behind LinkedIn is one of the many entrepreneurs who publicly endorsed the Democratic nominee in the upcoming presidential race.
