A law enforcement official has confirmed the 64-year-old shooter wired $100,000 to the Philippines before Sunday’s terrifying attack.
However, officials currently don’t know the recipient and the FBI is working with authorities in the Philippines to determine additional details.
But it is alleged the money was sent to the gunman’s girlfriend.
Paddock’s 62-year-old gal pal Marilou Danley travelled to Hong Kong on September 25 and then went on to the Philippines on October 1 as he opened fire on thousands of people.
Investigators say it is believed she was there to visit family, although this has not been confirmed.

Ms Danley is a native of the Philippines and an Australian citizen and lived on the Gold Coast for 20 years before coming to America.
Danley has been described as a 4’11 Asian woman weighing 111 pounds (50kg).
On her Facebook page, she describes herself as a “proud mom and grandma who lives life to the fullest”.
Her LinkedIn page said she worked as a “high-limit hostess” at a Vegas casino and neighbours described her as a “gambler”.
And her slot-machine card, which is used to rack up bonuses and other benefits through play, was found in Paddock’s suite after the murderous rampage.
It was initially thought Paddock had been working with Ms Danley an accomplice but police later said she was out of the country at the time of the attack and cleared her of any involvement.
Records show Paddock lived in a two-bedroom house in Mesquite, 80 miles from Las Vegas, with girlfriend Ms Danley.
He made the one hour drive to the hotel and his room on the 32nd floor – which he is believed to have booked in advance as the hotel was sold out that night.
At least 59 people were gunned down and 515 injured in Sunday’s shooting at an outdoor concert near the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
Hundreds of people were seen fleeing the Route 91 country music festival after the gunman rained bullets from the 32nd-floor window of his hotel room for several minutes before killing himself.
