Washington, July 16 (ANI): More than 34 million dollars of US President Barack Obama's 86 million second quarter fundraising came from big money bundlers, a Politico analysis has revealed.
Twenty-seven bundlers managed to collect at least 500,000 dollars for a joint account run by Obama's 2012 campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
That exclusive circle included marquee fundraisers like Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Hollywood titan Jeffrey Katzenberg, DNC treasurer/personal finance guru Andrew Tobias and former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, who was CEO of Goldman Sachs before entering politics, the report said.
The group chipped in a minimum of 13.5 million, according to records. In addition, 21.4 million was bundled in amounts of between 50,000 and 499,000 dollars.
The average donation to Obama's joint account was less than $100, with more than 550,000 donors sending cash in the last three months.
Obama's campaign, which filed its 15,000-page quarterly report with the Federal Election Committee, is the only 2012 campaign to release the bundler data so far, and officials at his Chicago headquarters challenged other White House hopeful's to do the same. (ANI)
