## Summary

Federal Election Commission filings cited in the article show that named Democratic celebrity donors gave less than $330,000 since the 2024 election, while several major Republican backers contributed tens or hundreds of millions. The figures offer a limited snapshot of donations made in celebrities’ own names and contrast with Hollywood’s reputation as a major source of Democratic fundraising.

Barbra Streisand gave about $190,000 across nearly 100 donations, while JJ Abrams gave $67,500 and Mark Ruffalo about $22,000. George Clooney and Sarah Jessica Parker each gave $5,000, Tom Hanks $2,500, and several other prominent stars made no donations in their own names. The article says Elon Musk gave $446 million to Republican causes, Miriam Adelson $67.6 million and Jerry Jones $1.5 million; it also reports that Republican donations did not prevent Democrats’ midterm gains.
