Christopher Harborne is a British-Thai cryptocurrency billionaire based in Thailand, where he goes by the name Chakrit Sakunkrit. He owns approximately 12% of Tether, the world's most widely used stablecoin, and is the largest single donor in Reform UK's history, having given over £22 million to Reform and its predecessor the Brexit Party. In 2024, he gifted £5 million to Nigel Farage shortly before Farage announced he would stand as a candidate in that year's general election; a donation Farage did not declare at the time. In September 2026, Harborne donated an additional £36 million to Reform, taking his total support for Farage's causes (including the personal donation to Farage) to £66 million.
