Since Hillary Clinton launched her political career in 2000, supporters have contributed $455 million to finance her campaigns and allied PACs, according to a Washington Post project to map the Clinton donor network.

Her current White House bid has been backed by three super PACs, which can accept unlimited donations from individuals and corporations. Contributors who made seven-figure donations to those groups now top the list of her biggest lifetime political supporters. Among them are major players on Wall Street, Hollywood and Silicon Valley.
