WASHINGTON — If he becomes president, Donald Trump plans to nominate a fellow billionaire to the Supreme Court, according to a report Thursday.

The GOP nominee has made it clear to Peter Thiel, the PayPal co-founder, that he’ll nominate the tech guru to the high court, Thiel has told friends, according to the Huffington Post.

Thiel graduated from Stanford Law School and worked for a short time at New York law firm Sullivan and Cromwell.

An early investor in Facebook, Thiel’s worth $2.7 billion and would be the first openly gay member of the high court.

Both the Trump and Thiel camps have denied the reports.

Thiel endorsed Trump at the Republican National Convention and he’s spent millions to fund Hulk Hogan’s successful lawsuit against Gawker, which previously outed Thiel as being gay.
