Five mega-donors and their wives are responsible for one in every $17 dollars that have been spent on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

The Clinton campaign proper and SuperPAC Priorities USA had raised a combined $1.14 billion by the end of September, filling their coffers to the brim with the help of the Democratic candidate’s wealthy friends and national labor unions.

A Washington Post assessment of Clinton’s fundraising found that a fifth of the money that went to her campaign directly or was donated through her joint fundraising committee, the nominating convention host committee, her PACs and the Democratic Party came from 100 individuals or unions.
